Well, I wanted to post about Granny and Papa's visit to Chicago, Nathan's graduation, etc. but I was too busy. I wanted to post about the camping trip, which was lovely (mostly), but I was too busy. I want to post about all our great times with friends lately as we attempt to say 'see you less often than we are accustomed to' (instead of 'goodbye').....BUT I've been too busy. If I actually had a spare moment I'd at least post some pictures for you of above events. Sorry :-(
Anyways, I will do the bare minimum and post pictures, eventually. We have two days left, and lots of loose ends to tie up.
I do have a cute video from tonight, though. The boys were all jumpy before bed...literally. They spent the day celebrating Owen's 2nd birthday at an inflatable play zone. My sensory-challenged child put on a harness, and happily attempted to climb a rock wall. Wyatt tried to steal Owen's Mickey balloon, was unsuccessful, but at least came home with a generic balloon and a depletion of energy that will hopefully lead to sound sleep tonight.

Dwippy Showers
I walked out of the bedroom this morning, saw Wyatt at his highchair, then disappeared into the bathroom. "AAAAAAAACK!," said Wyatt. Lonnie: "Woah! Why are you screaming like that?" Wyatt: "Baba (Mama)!!!" Afterwards I kissed him good morning and asked him how he was doing, to which he replied: "Gibbledy garbledy gook (my interpretation), as he pointed to Lonnie then to himself. I'm pretty sure he was saying "Daddy fed me breakfast. Yum. Happy."
For Mother's Day we went out for tacos. SOOO glad we brought a bib for Wyatt! He was trying to use a chip to scoop bean dip into his mouth. He'd dip the chip as well as half his hand into the bowl, then lick the one part of the chip that didn't have beans on it. Frustrated, he gave up on the chip and just scooped dip into his mouth with his hand. Ewwwwww. He has also been in the habit of pummeling his meat before eating it. We set the meat on his tray, and in one swift movement he slams his hand down onto it, then back to mouth, where it disappears for good. Also in relation to Mother's Day, when Lonnie told Judah what day it was, he started singing Happy Birthday to me. Also, the boys got me this soda maker that is the funnest toy EVER. I can make fizzy water, add some lime or fruit juice, ice, and yum!
Either Judah is growing out of his nap, or he's just been restless lately. Yesterday I went in after hearing him cry for what...the 5th time since I laid him down? "Where'd Daddy go? I want to see him." I REALLY don't want him to stop napping. On the other hand, it would give him time to play independently, without Wyatt to knock down his stuffs.
Judah asked Lonnie to sing "Dwippy Showers (Drip drip drop little April showers...). Lonnie's rendition was WAAAAY off, so Judah said, "No, that's a naughty voice!" Then he pointed to me and said "That's a nice voice." :-P
Also, he is VERY excited to see Granny and Papa, and has asked me several times where Canada is. I've been teaching him a little geography but I'm sure it's confusing when I say Papa lives WAAAAY over there in Canada, when visually it looks like 2 inches away. He sometimes asks to go to "Cawawado" to see Chula and Uncle Steve and "Ang."
This one is for Aria: During bedtime prayers, Judah likes to add something he's thankful for. A couple nights ago he said, "...and thank you for Awia..."
I know he is sounding really sweet by now, WHICH HE IS, but he's also going through a new stage of testing his independence and in turn our patience is REALLY BEING TESTED. REALLY. Yes...

Garlic Ear
On Monday night, I developed an ear infection. Ouch! A hot compress took the pain away, and now I just have one amazing underwater ear. I put garlic drops in it, to help kill the infection, and then my eyes turned pink. I figured it was the garlic, but my eyes are still pink so I guess it's viral conjunctivis. Wyatt developed a fever today, and now has pink eyes as well. Fun times! Doctor tomorrow, just to get some input on what is going on.
Lonnie had a discussion with Judah over the phone today to back me up in a temper issue Judah is dealing with. I could see Judah nod while holding the phone to his ear, and then he said, "Ok," and "Love you too...I'm eating a jelly sandwich." /giggle
My poor Wyatt. I hate it when he's sick :-( I put him to bed after getting him to take a few sips of smoothie. Judah was still up eating the bowl of peas he'd requested for dinner. He said, "Mmm...these are SWEET." Backing up: As I was 'cooking' his peas, he pulled out a pot, set it on his play stove, and put a bunch of play vegetables in it. He took a cup, went to the bathtub to fill it up, and returned, carefully pouring the water into the pot to "cook vegetables." Judah can't always play like this since Wyatt toddles by and messes up his schemes all too often! Anyhoo...He was really excited about a sesame street book + CD player thingy that we're borrowing from friends, so walked around the house listening to the Sesame Street theme song over and over again. He then disappeared while I was in the bathroom. I followed the sound of music to their dark bedroom, where he was sitting in bed quietly listening some more.
All in all, a crappy week but I'm trying to stay out of the dumps ;-P
