Christmas was a ton of fun! I got to have Oskar for a couple of days before xmas and then the Sunday following at our house til Tuesday, then to Jenn's with him thru Thursday while they had moved and were in transitioning into their daycare schedule. We had so much fun..I miss him already..but my back doesn't! lol
Derek and Oskar were so darn cute on xmas morning..they both hauled in a load of presents. We got some of the best pics of them both in their (not planned) matching jammies. Derek has been pretty good except for when he was home alone with Steve for those two days I was gone..naptime didn't go well...after Steve put him down, Derek hollared at him for a long time and then he said to Steve "get your ass in here"..well..Steve did...ya...didn't go over well at all. Derek is busy today playing (his favorite thing of course)..no attitudes yet..but the day is young! lol
Happy New Year everyone!

Some stuff from the last few months!
Well, reminded by Jenny Fields I haven't posted anything on Derek's blog in a long time..man, she was so right!! Lots of different things to say I suppose for sure.
Derek is one of the smartest in his kindergarten class, although he has a huge problem stayin on task with his desk work. We finally finished the second round of ADHD evaluations and started him on a low dose of meds the day before Thanksgiving. He seems mellower..still the Derek we know thank goodness though. We are using an insentive with these 2 cool remote control cars, so that if he finishes his desk work at school, he gets to play with them.
Some great days, some not so great days...as to be expected. We love his teacher Mrs. Miller..she is so dedicated to these kids in her class. We try to help her with supplies for her and the class and then we are all working together to keep Derek focused and motivated!
Derek's handwriting has so improved since six months ago too and he has started reading. So excited about both of those. He has also been staying overnight at Stephen and Brittany's a couple of times without issues...whew! It is good for him to go other places and be with his aunty and uncle :) He was at their house last night and got to go to the Clackamas Aquatice Center..how fun!
We had a nice Thanksgiving with family and are looking forward to Xmas with the baby and the older kids. Derek is getting a couple of cool gifts this year, guitar and a snow slider.
