Brotherly Love

I just love this picture. During the chaos of moving it was as if the boys were saying "hey, we got each other at least." Now we're back to an SUV where they can't reach each other which most days is a good thing. Yesterday the most meaningful interaction between the two of them was Ian hitting William in the head with a toy vacuum. I'm sure it was an accident...I think.

Our current news on William. He has learned to sit up by himself! This is a big, big step that I'm sorry our therapist back in Wayne missed. And, as we speak he is getting on his hands and knees...hopefully we'll see some four point crawling soon. Despite his delays, he is getting all over the house in an army crawl and is a busy, busy little guy. We are finally getting him enrolled in the Kindering Center here where he will get his therapy. He did great during his evaluation and it seems that all of his delays are still just gross motor. The special educator and speech therapist said he was still in the normal range for everything else. We are so happy with this news since we have spent lots of time worrying that perhaps he might have other delays as well. Now we're just trying to get him to EAT and hopefully walk and maybe someday we'll put all this behind us. After so much testing and worrying, I'm starting to feel like perhaps there is a light at the end of the tunnel.

Ian is doing well. He keeps us on our toes, but seems to be settling into his new house. I think before the furniture arrived he thought this was some sort of weird vacation. He kept asking to go home! I guess now that his toys and bed are here he has it figured out. Now if we can just get the hang of this potty training thing...
