Two little bruddies, in a pool. Splish, splash, splish, splash, splish, splash, splish splash.

…have not been dropping EntreCards for both of my blogs quite as much as I used to. This month is going to shape up to be quite busy for me, because not only do both of my sons have their six-month dental check-ups coming up, but Jason also has another consult with his ophthalmologist later on this month and James sees his occupational therapist once a week to focus on strengthening his leg muscles so that he can walk without issue. Right now it seems like a lot more of a physiological thing than it does physical, but if he doesn’t work those muscles adequately enough out of apprehension or nervousness, that could hamper his ability to walk later on down the line. And for that, I love his pediatrician. He’s really perceptive and he actually notices these sorts of things, so he gets the kids under his care the referrals that they need at early ages. That, and he also remembers that Jason and James are related even though they don’t look that much alike, which is great!

I also forgot to let you guys in on some of the booty that James got this year. Arr.

A kitchen set so that he could engage in imaginative play as the year progresses
A pretend carpenter’s tool bag and pretend doctor’s set for the reasons listed above
A Little Tikes basketball set with one rubber ball,
A set of three smaller Little Tikes balls for indoor play — basketball, football and soccer
