Rock it!

I noticed today while cleaning that one of my Willow Trees was missing.

Matt attempted to put a hat away and all of a sudden I heard this noise that sounded like a rock rolling down the wall...

What do you know...my WILLOW TREE!

Jason goes..."What is that?"

Matt replied...

"I don't know, but it sounded like a rock!"

Birthday gifts

My dad had picked up Matthew's birthday presents for me at John Deere...of course.

I thought I was being tricky by changing it from my Dad's truck to the back of my suburban. I was in the house talking with my parents when I looked out in the suburban and saw Matthew sitting in his seat. From the suburban he yells...

"Mom, come see the toys that I found!"

My thought...CRAP!!!

I got them home and I brought him in the house and Jason strategically moved them again and then let Matthew go.

Next I knew he came whining to me...

"Mom, the toys are gone."

"What toys?"

"My toys!"

I knew what he was talking about, but was obviously playing dumb. Jason and Drew played along and he was heart broken for awhile...

Then he forgot.

Dad informed me that he also found the gift from my parents!!

China

Matthew has been in a "mood" today! I'm sure it's because his birthday is tomorrow!!

After a day of putting up with his last day of him being 3...I simply said to him...

"Matt, how do you feel about China?"

His reply...

"Good."

Before that chuckle could be over, Andrew yells from the bathroom...

"Mom, I know you don't like Matt, but would you send me to China? I want to try to food!"

That one took Jason and I to the floor!

GREAT news!

I'm not sure if I shared, but the first ultrasound we had of babe went good, but he had questionable measurements with the ventricles in his brain. The report said something like...borderline dimensions, short term followed up recommended.

I spoke with the doc and we talk about what this could mean, including hydrocephalus. We would have to repeat the ultrasound and if there was a change and they would have enlarged then we wouuld trip to Omaha to have a specialist look at them.

Needless to say, I haven't slept much the last 4 weeks.

We had our repeat ultrasound this mroning and everything went great! His ventricles are fine, no enlargement and he looks great! He kept his hands up by his face the entire time!! He looks like the has the longest legs!!! I have to pull out Matthew's ultrasound pics, but he looks like he has Andrew's nose! :)

I'm so excited! Now we just have to decide on a name!

To think...I could be holding a new baby in as little as 15 weeks!

Thinking...

Today, I was laying in bed before getting up to get ready for Uncle Bob's party. I asked Matthew Robert if I could have a kiss before I got up and he didn't move. Normally he's jumping right on top of you to give ya a big kiss so I said...

"Can't Mommy have a kiss?"

His reply...

"I'm thinking about it!"

Andrew's First Day of Kindergarten

Well, we all survived the first day of Kindergarten. It's amazing how easily I can get out of bed when I have to! HAHA!

I took him into the classroom and got clear outside before my aunt had to remind me that my baby was going to school. I only teared up! He was ready for it though!

Matt on the other hand took it pretty hard. We came home and he laid on the floor/couch/bed and didn't move (unless to a different location) until it was time to go pick up Drew.

The day is done, and we are getting ready for day 2 to begin. Drew's only comment was that he was disappointed that they didn't learn anything on the first day! His comment was, "Mom, we didn't even learn anything today!"

I hope that appetite for education stays with him!

Our biggest feat today was trying to win the allergy battle!
