2017 Wrap Up

So my sister had a post where she writes down all the cute things her kids have said and done over the past year. It inspired me to sum up some of the things in our past year- it won’t be as cute or as thorough as my sister’s post, but it will sum up the year. Here goes! 

• Four months of unemployment started the year. 
• T-man was assessed and diagnosed with dyslexia and ADHD. I educated myself on dyslexia and ADHD during my time off and we also were able to fight and get an IEP for T-man. 
• The boys actually enjoy audiobooks during our road trips. 
• D-man grew 3.5 inches this year (and is now taller than I am) 
• T-man grew 1.5 inches. 
• We were at the doctors more this year than any other year and still didn’t meet our deductible. 
• D-man finally got braces. 
• D-man knows all the words to “Stacy’s Mom’s got it going on” and T-man’s comments were “Ok then. That’s weird. What?” 
• T-man has a special friend and they  bike to each other’s house, hang out and play cards. 
• D-man sustains two concussions and I’m a freak job during it
