Birthday Time

We are on the Thomas the Train
Papaw and Joseph

Oh the excitement was something to be seen and HEARD from Joseph when he saw Thomas. I recorded. It was amazing. Many of the parents were shocked that he responded the way he did with such enthusiasm. I did take the video recorder, because me, being the mother, figured it was going to be over the top. Every time Thomas pulled into station it was just the same. Shockingly enough, none of the other kids were showed quiet as much outward excitement as he did!


Brian with birthday cake, caked on everywhere he could manage.

As all who know Brian, he loves to eat. He just kept on going back to eat more cake.



Oh, lets share some love on our birthday....Bralee and Joseph.


Brian and Joseph playing with there ambulance and firetruck.

We had a Dora and Diego cake. They love them both, so it worked out magically for now, probably not so much in a couple of years.



Bralee with her Birthday card from Aunt Karen.


Joseph with his card from Aunt Karen. I was unable to get on of Brian with his. Joseph 2nd favorite to Thomas is his cowboy hat and this stick horse. He runs through the house riding it and saying "giddy up...yee haw!"



Update on Bralee's potty training....going great. She is still having a couple of accidents with bowel movements, but that is it. Although all who know her history with that area, that is excellent. With the birthday party, they were more excited about it finally being their turn to be sung "Happy Birthday" to. It was great. Shane had to work, so it was just me, the kids, Nana, and Papaw.

Potty Time

We are steadily potty training, for about a week now. Wheeew, it is exhausting. Bralee is doing great, we can leave the house on outings/appointments with no problem. Brian started out strong, but is now back tracking. Joseph, he has not been in the running from the beginning, so it is still a daily, minute by minute battle with him.

We got the results back from Bralee's sleep study that she had done. She has more than the average # of episodes of stopped/labored breathing during the night. She will be having her tonsils/adenoids removed on August 18th and staying in overnight for observation due to her apnea. Brian is have the same surgery + ears done the next day August 19th on an outpatient basis at a different location.
