Grounded

We stayed home today and did nothing.  It sounds completely uneventful, but it really helped us ground ourselves by just being home for the day, something we rarely do.  Patrick has been having a difficult time lately, and maybe we are just moving too fast for him..I think I learned that today.  He was a pleasure to be around.  That kid amazes me sometimes.  We "did letters" today, which is looking at letter flashcards.  I can't believe how many he knows so well...lowercase too!  Now if only I could get him to write them more often.  I know it will come in time.  

I'm making stuffed shells for dinner tonight.  They aren't your usual run of the mill.  They are pesto chicken stuffed shells and they are amazing!  I highly recommend them.  Joe and I are quite looking forward to it.

In the meantime, while I wait for them to cook, Patrick and I will continue playing with trains and thwarting off Maura from our creation.
