Scooter just moved to the 3's room last week

My big boy has already started spelling his name and tonight as Seth and I overheard him spelling his name to himself we look at his magna doodle and see this. He knocked us off our socks! Of course its only "oot" but he knew that he was writing his name because he was spelling it out as he went........"0" ........"0"............"t"........... and it was at that time that Seth and I interrupted with astonishment. His new teacher at daycare says he spells his name with only one or two mistakes. She said to me, "I can tell that you work with him at home". Maybe I do just a little.
Gotta brag on Sadie too. Her new (and might I add favorite) word is "uh-oh". She says it when she drops something, she says it when she falls down, she says it when we say it, she says it all the time. She is so funny.

MY BIG BOY IS 3!!!

Scooter turned three on May 15th! Here he is coming out of his jump house. He is getting so big! We celebrated "Doodlebop style". Scooter even got his very own big boy drum set (as he likes to call it). We play "band" every chance we get. Scooter tells us all the time "I gonna be a wok staw" (rock star) He cracks us up!

Sadie's results came back from the blood work at Dr. Puri's office. All results were completely normal. No genetic issues. She is now waving and saying "hi" and "bye" at appropriate times and also beginning to sign "more". We saw the opthomalogist and he said he is not at all concerned with Sadie's eyes because the exotropia is so slight that with all of the other neurological healing and recovery that she is experiencing, he said this should also fix itself. At this time he just wants to watch it and see her again in a few months. So no drops or patch! YEAH!
Sadie also saw her ENT to check on all her sinus/allergy issues and her x-ray showed extremely enlarged adenoids, so those are scheduled to come out July 8. Dr. Goldman (her ENT) also saw some fluid in Sadie's right ear and some signs of poor drainage in her left, so when she has her adenoids removed, she is also planning on flushing out her ears. No ear infection though, so that was good. Dr. Goldman said that fluid doesn't always mean infection, it just means her ears aren't draining properly, so we still may need the tubes. That's still in discussion.

The other encouraging news is Sadie starts speech 2X a week next week! YEAH! and more YEAHS!

Kim's girl weekend in Asheville

This past weekend I went out of town to Asheville, NC with my friend Bridgette. She and I were invited to our friend Kim's girl weekend/bachelorette party. Here is the whole gang. Lindy made us fish tacos and shrimp with rice and beans. They were so good!
Me, Leanne, Bridgette, and Miss Kimberly "the Bride-To-Be"

We played some pretty crazy games! Thanks Leann for all of the fun. Too bad I didn't put all the pics here on the blog. Right girls? I will always forever remember "dress up night" for the rest of my life!

Kim, Bridgette, and Me..............a friendship for at least 13 years, and still going! Congratulations Kim! I am so happy for you girl, and I can't wait to see you in 5 more weeks!

OAKS 2008

Oaks was a blast! Thank you Stephanie for making it a memorable one! Hope it was a good birthday for you too. The rain made it a shorter day than we had hoped, but all in all it was a great time. Pretty hats, losing bets, and a few drinks with some good company made it a day to remember.

Fun with cousins

The kids had fun at Autumn's Birthday. So much fun playing outside with our cousins.
