99-100

 

99......100

Do you want to hear me count to 100?

That is Eric's great performance of the week. Not only can he count to 100 but he will be more than happy to demonstrate his talents to any willing ears! We were walking down the hall of the preschool and ran into a friend. Eric very quickly asked his questions and I stood behind him shaking my head, making hand singles to say no. She didn't see me and any good soul wanting to encourage a child she said yes. Most people that have said yes don't realize that means your in it for the long haul! Smile  Bless his heart, he's so proud of himself. And Mommy is very proud too, I'm challenged enough getting anywhere on time!

You guessed it there are 100 cars in this picture. I don't believe this is the one that is sorted by color but that is always an option as simply counting to 100 isn't entertaining enough! Smile  Eric is also very into clocks, not as much as when Rick first taught him but at dinner for many nights in a row we had a play by play of any action on the clock. "it's 6:04, hey dad it's 6:05 now!" I really don't think he has put together what any of that actually means but just the fact he's reading from left to right and separating the numbers by the : sign is impressive to me.

Eric is also very excited about his teacher returning tomorrow. She had a baby in December and has been on leave. He attends preschool 3 mornings a week and really enjoys it. He's been talking about Mrs. Honken coming back and telling me "but mom her belly is all gone" I ask him if he knows that her little baby boy was in her tummy, He says yes but then says " I hope he doesn't get back in there!" Too funny!

Heaven

The clouds tonight were fantastic. When I look at clouds I can’t help but imagine how soft and fluffy they are. I can almost picture myself bouncing off of them fearlessly. I said to Rick tonight that I imagine in heaven I will get to do that- I will have no fear like I do here on earth of hurting myself or my bladder giving out- (just keeping it real!) For me growing up not knowing Jesus- barely even knowing of Him, Heaven was really an unknown. I have a really vivid memory of when I was younger. I remember the house we lived in so I suppose I was around 9 and I knew my Grandma lived in heaven. She passed away when I was just 6 of cancer. Because I didn’t really understand death I didn’t get why she just couldn’t come back. Someone must of told me heaven was in the sky because when I yelled and I mean I. Yelled . up to heaven I begged Grandma to come back. I was home alone in my living room and  I distinctly remember telling her that if she really loved me she’d come back.

Uno!

I am so thankful for my two little guys... (which they are not so little anymore) They are both so fun, so smart and so DIFFERENT... right down to the way they look. I found this video of them and they had just turned 4 and 5. Eric was starting Kindergarten and Sam preschool. They were playing UNO with Rick and I don't think I had ever seen this video before. It is an absolute PERFECT picture of the two of them. Take note that Sam never stops moving and Eric is just as mellow as can be. That is still true of them. Also notice the YELLOW KNEE HIGHS they are both wearing (not sure if you can see Eric's)- yep those yellow Mickey Mouse knee highs were the favorite ALL summer that year- Sam more so then Eric, I have TONS of pictures of Sam with shorts on and those silly knee highs! I sure love them. (the boys well and the knee highs too)

Glasses

Just some background... When Sam was about 6 months old we had him seen by a Pediatric Ophthalmologist for a blocked tear duck on his right side. While examining him the Doctor found his vision was more far-sighted in his right eye than his left. Now all babies are far-sighted to some degree, this is often even on both sides and will resolve itself in the first year to year and a half of life. At one year Sam had surgery to probe his tear duct and again his eye exam showed improvement in his left eye but not his right. At 18 months he got his first pair of glasses. We were also supposed to patch his good eye to force his weaker eye to work harder. Well after many, many attempts this has not happened. So here we are now. As of his last appointment ( Thursday the 2ND ) his sight in his right eye has worsened even more. His new glasses came in on Wednesday and so the battle begins ( again )! First battle, trying to convince Sam he should wear his glasses. I let him pick out new frames,
