What’s New
Tuesday, June 2nd, 2009
Since not everyone is on Facebook (including me!) I thought I’d better give an update here of what has been going on with the Prebble boys lately.
Gareth continues to use his alphabet board to talk a ton. We have varied conversations–Gareth talks about the big things in life (”What’s church?”, “I hate CP.”) as well as just enjoying being part of day to day conversations. He’s also letting us see and hear a bit more of his attitude lately and the other day he reminded me of why I need to watch my language a bit more these days. He spelled out “Dam mom.” When I asked “What are you trying to say?” He replied “Bad word. Dam.” He proceeded to tell me he was mad that I was asking so much about his day; he just wanted to get to video games! Despite the attitude and the heartbreaking questions he asks at times, it continues to be an absolute joy to watch Gareth talk to us so much. All else is going well for Gareth these days, too. He’s had a stellar year at school and he only has 7 more days until summer vacation. He still loves video games and riding his bike–he’s pretty much a smaller version of Travis. And our weekends are back to being consumed with baseball games. Gareth loves have a cheering section, so feel free to join us for a game some Saturday!
Collin has become a bundle of energy. As you can see from the latest video, he’s booking it around the house in his modified crawl. We had to buy a baby gate this weekend to try to keep him somewhat confined at times and he no longer likes hanging out in his exersaucer or bouncy seat–he wants to go, go, go!! Collin is really a happy-go-lucky guy most of the time, and spends his days playing, smiling, cuddling and eating.
Life is crazy busy but there are so many things to enjoy and celebrate these days, that I can’t complain
