Overheard.

Fun!
Even 3+1=4 IS perfect title!!
Again congrats!!

Congrats on baby #2. That's soo exciting! It's fabulous that Simon is excited about the new addition! I think he's going to make a wonderful big brother!

and my response to that would be well, of course you are! Gosh I love the giggle worthy moments that you capture and the way you allow Simon to be who he is. So many blogs are all about mommy woes and the way they speak about their children makes me tired. Your words always bring a smile and giggle. Your outlook on life is contagious! Congrats on baby makes 4. best, Lacy

Well-said Simon.

I'll have to try that mantra next time something has me stuck.
But... can girls be Jedi's? I might have to brush up on my star wars before I start that mantra... :)

For Simon.....Yoda says: "Be a good big brother, you will!"

Congratulations! I went back to a post last month where you said "I have been making some significant changes work-wise where more responsibility now lays on me. I am embracing this change with open arms and am really excited about a variety of things that are coming up both this year and next. Some of these things have been occupying my mind lately to great extents. Pre-occupied is almost an understatement."
I wondered at the time what new was in store, but assumed it had to do with work, not this excellent news! I am so happy for all of you.

That just put the biggest smile on my face.....Simon is one amazing human being.

Loved the Jedi comment...I've got 3 Jedi's myself so I can totally relate ;-)
Ohhhhh...and congrats on the future addition to your beautiful family...what wonderful amazing news!

Congrats on your new addition. So excited for all of you. Have been away at a cabin for a week with no internet or phone - absolutely loved it. Glad to catch up and so excited for you all!!!Nicky

Now that is a layout just waiting to be made! Too funny!
I spent the afternoon yesterday at a family party with my two autistic nephews. The older boy, Padraic, has made terrific strides in being eager to converse with others, and spent the afternoon alternately trying to teach me CSS code (I learned a lot!) and trying to get me to play a "simple" duet with him on the piano (he can do Beethoven from memory; I took 5 years of lessons and can barely eek out a tune.)
My younger nephew, Connor, has also come a long way this year, but still needs a lot of help with coping strategies for when things don't go as expected. He was having a problem eating a food he doesn't like much, and started to gag. Before his mom could remind him that he would be alright if he just kept calm, I heard him say to himself, "I'm alright. I'm alright." Almost made me cry, because it's such a huge deal for Connor to be able to do this!

I recently had an "overheard" moment. I took my neice to the pool and I overheard her say to one of the other kidlets:
"that's my Auntie Jocelyn. She's a genius!"

Ali, what absolutely fantastic news! How excited all three of you must be. You are a most incredible woman and this just adds to it! All the best, one of your many students from Get Croppin! in Virginia, Barbara

aaah, the young padowan has learned well.

CONGRATS to you and the entire family. May you have an easy 28 more weeks and enjoy every minute of it.
What a blessing for all of you,
Jackie

Congrats on the news! Be sure to take the time to enjoy every minute of the whole pregnancy process.....what a great miracle it is! Bless you all!
Cheers,
Karen Geckler

Congratulations on baby E! Enjoy every moment.... even the foggy ones :)
And yes Simon... Jedi's make the best brothers!
