Last week we had yet another major flash flooding event for our area. It rivaled the 2016 flood. School should have been delayed, but we trudged out to work in enough water to swim in. I took the truck and it still took about an hour and a half before I was able to find a path.
It was definitely a "thank goodness we are piers" kind of day. That's statement you won't hear me say often.
I swear, what did we do over the weekend? Not much. Or at least very little evidence of it. We went to Kidstrong, and Elliot twisted my arm to go to Elevation Station.
Harrison really surprised me. With all his sensory troubles, what he precieves as high or big can cause a strong reaction. We've hoped and prayed for years that he would grow out of some of these things as he aged. Saturday I saw another little glimpse of growing out of sensory issues, he went down the giant slide at the jump park. Y'all it is giant, floor to ceiling high, and you fly through the air for a good bit before touching the ground. He has initially said he wouldn't do it, but snuck up there twice and told me about it after. I was so proud of him.
Meanwhile in the land of goldendoodle puppies who still haven't figured out their names... Honey is wearing Dill down. He will play with her all day long, but she's teaching him to be cuddly. She has slowly snuggled in to being this close. Sunday I almost saw spooning, it was the shape with no touching! She's definitely working on him, he's crawled in our laps to cuddle and that didn't happen before.
I'll be standing outside to make sure kids don't get in our yard this weekend.
After three days of trying to identify the sound of the babies in this next... the bird in our backyard is a Mississippi Kite. I've never seen once before, and the babies sound like dog squeaky toys. It took this one landing in another tree so I could get a good look, but I think we've got two families of them in the backyard.
Last but not least, I got a good laugh as I was working on my HEAR Journal for discipleship group this weekend. Elliot opened a window and gave me his entire business plan for opening a jump park that is entirely free.
This is the chid that asks for everything and has heard "Mama isn't paying for that" a lot at this point in his little life.
