You say Good-bye, I say Hello

Life is full of lots of changes/transitions, some of the time those things are unpleasant…but they can also bring great new things! So let’s be positive J

In Early Intervention, 3 is a HUGE deal. A child is no longer eligible for services that are provided in the home and must transition either to the BCIU or outpatient services. Rose has been with her speech therapist since she was 10 months old…she has become like part of our family and I can’t believe it is almost time to say ‘good-bye’ L

I am also not really sure what is going to happen at 3. Rose will continue her current outpatient therapy and we may increase that to twice a week. We are also going to see what the BCIU offers for services and decide if we want to use those services also.

We are also discussing starting Rose in preschool, probably just 2 or maybe 3 mornings a week, but this will be a HUGE change for her…and us!

Since we are going to give preschool a try, we have decided to skip the spring session of our music class. We completed 3 of the 12 different sessions and can always start up again, but want to have some more time on the weekends for other activities as a family J

All these things are happening because our baby is turning 3! I could go back and retell Rose’s birth story like it was just yesterday and it really is a great story ;) There have been so many changes and transitions in our lives since that wonderful day; it all seems to be happening so fast. We love every minute with our sweet girl!

This week wasn’t exceptionally busy. We made the best of all changes in weather, enjoyed Nana’s birthday, and had lots of fun just being together J

 Rose doesn't let a little rain stop her from spending lots of time outside...she just makes sure to accessorize with a cute umbrella!

And if the weather is a little chilly... add a fun hat ;)

 This is a picture Justin took of Rose on their way to grandma's house. She has been refusing to leave the house in anything but her PJ's and also usually samples daddy's lunch!

Tuesday was Nana's birthday, so we took this picture for her! 

Wednesday we all got to go out to eat to celebrate Nana. 

 And on Friday we went out for ice cream to celebrate the end of the work week!

I guess I didn't realize it until putting all these pictures in this post, but we went out to eat A LOT this week... Saturday after Rose's nap we headed to Trader Joe's and grabbed a quick dinner, with a Frosty, on the way home. 

When we weren't eating out, Rose was very busy playing! 

I think Rose has a favorite cartoon: Doc McStuffins. Rose then enjoys pretending she is a doctor and checking out all her stuffed animals and herself :)

Rose is also very helpful! Lately she has decided to set the table for us...what we all actually get to eat with can make dinner fun!

We have lots of fun planned over the next few weekends with a baby shower, some family activities, and Justin and Rose's birthday :)
