A Day at Grandma's

So, we were at my parents house the other day and I peeked into the back yard and saw my boys pretending to be bumble bees. They were buzz buzzing and flying around all the while watching the bees...me, I hate bees, I think if you get close you get stung, the upside to that would be that the bee would die from it's trouble to hurt me, but really, small consolation...

Anyway, so they're buzzing, and I'm trying to get a cute picture, and they found me out!!! Stinkers! So, needless to say, I went outside to catch the pictures instead, but they didn't do it as much. Kyle did have a blast pretending to be a bee, "flying" from tree to tree and then up to me yelling "Sting You!" and hitting me with his tush! Well, I of course tried to grab him before he could "sting me" and it was a fun game; Joshua insisted on joining in, and they were racing eachother to sting me. It was a lot of fun.

The pictures of Joshua "hiding", now that boy is funny. I would chase him around the house and he'd suddenly stop behind something to hide. He does this while I'm right there mind you, and he knows I can see him! But in his little mind, if he isn't looking at me, he of course can't be seen! So, he'll keep his eyes averted either looking away or straight ahead until I roar in his ear, and he gets all surprised and happy that I found him. He's a crack up!

For the Three or Four of you that Read My Blog...

OK, so I would say I will try to update this more often, but really why waste my breath? We all know I won't...haha...I WILL say that I want to keep it updated more often, but I don't think many people read it anyway, so if you want more, pressure me and write me comments on it!

So, Joshua is suddenly talking non-stop! He's a chatter box who absolutly also loves his brother so much! My goodness, he's always following him around and copying him; right down to the tantrums! Yeah, terrible twos, they are here...

Anway, back to my jabbering boy, everything is, "wuts that?"..tell him..."oh"..."wuts that?"..."oh"... over and over, until we go through everything, and then we start right over again.

And another favorite. "why???" at the top of his lungs, tell him why, and then of course...."oh"...it's so cute! I love it.

Any My older baby Kyle. He is doing better then he was this week. He is still having a hard time with me being so busy with work and school and with the fact that I can't pick him up from school anymore, so he's disappointed with that, but I've been trying extra hard to show him he's special. It's not easy, he can be pretty moody! =) He's a cutey. Still wants to be a firefighter! He still loves his Thomas the Train, and he still loves Soccer...It's about the only sport he really interested in. Though he has been mentioning T-ball again, but that already started, so it's too late. Also, he is still enjoying pre-school and loves coming home and telling me the letter and color for the week, and what job he got to do! He loves to see his name everywhere, loves to do art, write letters to those he loves, see pictures of himself and his brother, and loves his scooter...which was stolen. :(

He started seeing a "feelings" doctor last week, and he enjoyed his time there. They talked, drew pictures, and played with toys. He can't wait to go back! In fact, it was pretty difficult to get him to leave! So, that's a good sign so far. His next appointment is next week! I'm sure he'll like that one as well. He's so cute! My goodness, I can't get over it. Though, he does have his moments...he loves to argue with me and he is extremely stubborn, but he's the cutest, I love him!

Joshua Update....a few months overdue??

Ok, Well apparently, from some of the comments made (which just crack me up Cory, you're hilarious) some think Joshua is still possibly in the hospital....

NOPE!!! Of course we came home, and he bounced back quicker then anyone was expecting. A miracle boy, nothing less. He was on his anitbiotics for six weeks (or was it four) after being released. Glad that's done.

He had a physical therapy appointment, but the PT was so encouraged by how Joshua was moving, he didn't think he needed any. He was "impressed" by the MRI results, all the doctors had said they had never seen anything like it and are amazed how he's doing. Anyway, Joshua just has to make sure he always has a very strong stomach (sports, yoga, pilates, gymnastics - no comments about how boys can't do gym!) to keep his stomach strong to alleviate the possibility of back pain.

He just had a follow-up appointment two weeks ago for his back at Children's Hospital, and the x-rays show his vertabrae are healing and the disc isn't as flat as it once was, so it's also healing (which wasn't expected). So! He's healing excellently.

The last couple weeks, I was worried his infection was back because he's been showing some of the same signs as he was before, but I took him to the doctor and requested a blood test, and all the blood work came back perfect! So, I guess he's just having back pain, which is pretty much expected. He also, just got over the stomach flu...I'm telling you this boy just can't catch a break! It seems he's always got something. After a few trips to the ER (one for stiches, the other for high fever) right after getting out ot the hospital...Overall though, he's doing fantastic!

Geez! Why isn't anyone updating this blog?!?!?! Oh wait...that's my job!
Maybe tomorrow.... ;)
