First Spa Treatment

Thanks to Aunt Krista and Susan for giving Michaela her first pedicure and hair styling.

Pre-School Moving Up

Shawn has graduated to the 4-year old class. Hard to believe my little man is going to be in Kindergarten in a year. Very scary how quickly they grow up.

Family Vacation

Here are some pictures of our trip to Myrtle Beach if you haven't seen them on Facebook already. We had a great time on our first family vacation. Hopefully we can do Disney next year.

Aidan Update

Hi Everyone:

Aidan started his services this week for his diagnosis of Pervasive Developmental Disorder (PDD), which is on the Autism Spectrum. He will get intense Applied Behavior Analysis(ABA) therapy two times a day, 5 days a week, for 90-minutes each session. So he gets it every morning and again every evening. It will work on everything from speech to social interaction to daily living skills (maybe I can bribe them to potty train him and Michaela too). haha

He is already making better eye contact and starting to say a few more words (Ma, choo choo, ball on a regular basis, wee when being pushed on the swing, and understands what GO means and when to use it) in only three short days. The teachers are great and the one who teaches him every morning also does our Parent Training once a week for an hour for the next 6-months. He is responding well and enjoys seeing his teachers. They are working as I write this on identifying body parts and animals.

I will continue to update this site often as it is a good outlet for me to write what's happening (somewhat theraputic) and it's a great way to keep you all updated.

Much love,
Suzanne

Mommy and Me Photo Shoot

Well they only got one good shot after taking a million, but what a great shot it is. I wasn't there the class before so I had no idea about the photo shoot. So Aidan in his soccer shirt was not really ready for a beach scene. There was one very nice mom who literally gave me the shirt off her son's back, I rolled up his jeans and took off his shoes, and he was beach ready. Too bad I didn't know about it because I would have brought Shawn too.

Long Time No Post

Wow, what a slacker I am. I missed the whole fall and winter apparently. Well the kids go for their 4-year and 2-year checkups on the 15th so I'll hav esome new information for everyone. I also plan on downloading pics from their birthdays.

Dutch Wonderland Rocked

We had very low expectations going into Dutch Wonderland in Lancaster, PA, but we were so happy with it. It was geared toward ages 2-12 and Shawn and Sara got to go on just about everything. They also had a water park, but because the weather wasn't spectacular we didn't even hit that. The kids had so much fun.

Sesame sucked!!! There were so many teenage kids there it was weird. I thought Sesame would be more geared toward the little kids, but apparently they're not. And they are way to expensive!

Sesame Place

Having a blast at Sesame Place. We are hitting Dutchwonderland tomorrow on the way home. Shawn is loving the waterslide with Mike. He is fearless on the rides too, which is funny. Apparently he does not have his father's fear of heights. I'll post some pics when we get back.

Shawn's First Dentist Visit

Shawn went for his first Dentist visit and had a great time. The whole experience was really nice and not at all scary like it is for us adults. And we don't get a toy at the end of it either, which is another bonus for kids.

Legge Family Vacation recap next post...............stay tuned!

First Haircuts

Aidan and Michaela got their first haircuts last month. Michaela can finally see! We had to cut her bangs because she would NOT let us put anything in her hair. It didn't help that Aidan would try and grab it from her head and insert it into her mouth quicker than she could take it off.

Shawn got a buzz cut courtesey of Mike. He was not at all happy about it, but he looks great in his summer cut.

CONGRATULATIONS....

Another Legge is getting hitched. Congratulations to Patrick and his girlfriend of 3-years, Krista, on their engagement. Just another good reason for us to go to Gasho. haha

We are so happy for the two of you!!!

Potty Training Update

Shawn is doing much better with the potty. He almost always goes pee and has done a lot of poops. He still has accidents, but he's gotten a lot better. We still aren't full time undies yet, but we are attempting that next week when we are done with volleyball camp and can police his every move. He is also dry almost every night, which is pleasantly surprising.

Well Baby Visit

The twins went for their 15-month check up and got a clean bill of health. Michaela is right in line with a twin for height and weight and Aidan is off the charts. The nurse didn't think they were twins. He's a lot thicker than her. haha

Michaela is a little chatter box with more than 20-words in her vocab already. This is a far cry from Aidan's three. But the pediatrician said she is a "freak" and he is on schedule. He told us he feels bad for us if she keeps advancing like this. She's already outsmarting us though.

MICHAELA
Height: 31.25
Weight: 19.6
Head: 17.25

AIDAN
Height: 34.25
Weight: 24.8
Head: 19.50 (got that big Legge head)

SHAWN at 15-months
Height: 33.25
Weight: 27.2
Head: 19.75

We still don't think that Michaela is 3 inches shorter than Aidan though. Maybe an inch, but not three. Aidan has Shawn beat for height, but not head (YET!).

Poor Otis

Anyone who has a bad thing to say about a Lab is CRAZY! Otis is the best family dog ever.

NO poo-poo in the potty - BOO, HISS

So Shawn continues to poop in his pull up and now we are trying the whole time out thing. We have him sit in the hall (because their is no other place in the house that isn't packed with toys - including the bathroom) on his backyardigans pull out couch. Did us a lot of good...HE FELL ASLEEP. So much for making him think about what he did and why he can't play with this toys now.

Poopy in the Potty - HURRAY!

Yes, it finally happened. Not only did Shawn go poops in the potty, but he actually told me he wanted to go poops. I know he is going to have an explosion eventually because he didn't go yesterday and we only had a few nuggets today. I'll take anything. Mike celebrated so loud that Aidan started to cry hysterically. Poor little guy was frightened. We are currently in our big boy underwear and doing well. Keep your fingers crossed!

DISNEY 2009

Disney was great, but don't go there when the schools are on vacation. The place was a madhouse. Good thing we are terrible parents and had Shawn nap until 9pm and then took him to the Magic Kingdom until 2:30am! HAHA - but we sure did get on everything we wanted without waiting. The weather was chilly for three days, which was fine with me. I would do it again in a heartbeat to see that little boys face light up. That is until we get right up to the characters and then hear "NO LIKE- NO LIKE!!!" Plane ride was great. He loved every minute of it. We might have a future pilot on our hands.

New Pics

Here are a few pics of the Cherubs.

Michaela is WALKING!

Our little lady is on the move. Watch out...we're in big trouble!
