What a Party!

 

What a Party!

We started out the day yesterday with a little car surprise. There's a GT-40 and to me that means race car. To car guys or gals it means much more. It's a nice car (it sort of looks a lot like one of Eric's hot wheels), we brought him out to the dealer to have his picture taken in and with the car. Rick and I were able to bring him alone so that was special mommy and daddy time. I'm sure the whole car thing added to the fun! Smile

Spiders, webs, cakes, and lots and lots of noise! Yep, it was a success. Eric had 6 friends to celebrate with yesterday and we had a blast! I wanted to post a few pictures but mostly I wanted to share how proud I (we) are of our boy. I talked to him ahead of time of his "duties" as the Host. We greet and help our guests feel welcome. Show them where they can place the presents or where the restroom is. During present time he showed excitement and gratitude for the cards as well as the presents and thanked every child by name. When it was time to go he thanked his friends for coming and gave them a goodie box. He talked all night and again today about how fun it was to have his friends here. You know I have always assumed that he's content with playmates, most of the time there's not a lack of children here. It was really different to have friends here that his mama is not paid to have here! Well this mommy slept well last night. I wish I could say we're just hanging out and relaxing tonight but we're going to a concert at 7:30.

BYOTB (bring your own teddy bear). It'll be fun

Oh a side note: I registered Eric for kindergarten this morning and that's all I'm saying about that!

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,
