Talk Of The Town

 

The big buzz in Eric's preschool room is the big party coming up! We're on the countdown to the Spiderman Party. Last week we gave the mailman our invitations and that in itself was really exciting. That was top of the list for that days events. We do event reporting to Daddy when he gets home from work.

His preschool teacher said the boys were talking about the big gathering. I think it's so fun. It's his first official friend party and my mom took the night off of work to help with crowd control. We'll be playing pin the spider on the web. My sister gave me the idea of cookie cutters to make the sandwiches with. I'm pretty sure I can get spider shaped cutters if not spider man. I'm also trying to think of a climbing game that wouldn't pose a risk of injury to anyone. Spider-man did climb walls so I'll have to brainstorm some more with Rick.

Along that same line I'm still in huge denial about Eric turning five! I don't know if it's sinking in or he's just changing that much. I've noticed him really trying hard to say full complete sentences. He's very mature in the manner he says some things. For instance Eric and my two daycare girls were coloring together this week. Eric looked over at one of the girls and said "Oh my Kylie, that sure is a wonderful picture, you are doing a great job." He's such an encourager and so willing to put a smile on your face. Other Eric things I'm cherishing:  "mommy... make me warm" or "mommy... will you cuddle me". He manages to wrap himself up in an almost perfect ball on my lap. He doesn't make his "purring sound" he used to make but is still quite content to snuggle close with mommy. He will also give me a hug and in the most affectionate way tell me he loves me. .... I have to stop now as I don't want to cry.....

SICK AGAIN

Eric finished his medicine this week for the strep throat and other than that darn runny nose seemed to be doing much better. All that changed during the night Wednesday going into Thursday as he woke up sick. He really didn't keep anything down until late Thursday morning and ran a temp off and on all day. Today he seems better again and other than looking a little pale and tired and having a runny nose he's acting fine. He's really hungry which is a good sign. Poor boy. I was just saying too how this winter has been better than the past ones. I should know better!

Makes a Daddy Proud!

MOMMY, MOMMY LOOK WHAT I DID, IT SAYS EAE ON ALL OF THEM!

This is a picture of one of the motorcycle games that Eric and Daddy play. Notice Daddy's initials are no where to be found! I emailed this to Rick that day and commented on Eric being a busy boy that morning! Smile I can't say I'm a big video fan but I love the eye/hand coordination this takes. Eric is also all about "trying again". For the most part he will just say "it's OK I'll try again" if he doesn't succeed. He sure does love having his name behind that #1.

Heaven

Image
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,
