All right, I know I am a couple of weeks late, but if it makes you feel any better, I am one of the worst people I know about remembering and acknowledging birthdays.
You've seen me through some tough times, blog. Thanks for that. It's been so nice to have a place to go to vent creatively and productively. And at least when I am having a hard time dealing with stuff, I can write something poignant about it. And then I look back and realize on some level, I was dealing well with stuff, I just wasn't conscious about it.
Anyway, looking forward to another nice year, hopefully with fewer sad posts. I will try to spend more time with you.

This guy continues to amaze me. Playing guitar, picking up songs more quickly than you could ever imagine. Today, at a birthday party, he picked up some weird Finnish string instrument and was tinkering with it. He stood up and pulled a pick out of his pocket. I realized he just ALWAYS carries a pick in his pocket. I don't know why, but that made me SO happy. What a cool dude. He has successfully entered what my friend Jane refers to as the anti-hygiene phase. The other day I walked past his room only to realize he was on day 4-5 of the same underwear. Gross. Summer should be fun. And smelly. He is starting to get used to the idea of changing schools. I am not, but will get there.
And I couldn't be more proud of this guy. Still making great strides. He is in the throes of the four year old constant question phase, with the recent introduction of "why." I know it's a great sign and his inquisitiveness is a sign of his intelligence, but holy cow it is exhausting. But he reminded me today that I need to be patient. I'd had enough of about 20 minutes of constant questions and said, "Rowan, no more questions for a while, Mommy needs a break." He replied, "But I want to TALK!" Sniff, sorry little buddy, carry on with your questions. The other day he LIED to Lynnie. She reminded me how wonderfully developmentally appropriate that is. Plus, we found out he's a really bad liar. Like his dad. That's good, he'll get away with less later on. He is still having speech at SRC (love, love love!) and is now seeing an OT and doing a great job there. It is fun to see him be a little more himself every day.
