Tic tac?

Waylon shoved a tic tac up his nose today on the way to meet a friend at the park (it was minty, and must have burned).  I could still see it but he kept putting his finger on it and I was terrified he was pushing it farther up there (imagining an impromptu stop by Dr. Naves).  So,  we executed an emergency pull over (right by Starbucks) and blew out the offending object (Thank god!).  Byron did the same thing with a pea about a year ago.

Merry Christmas!

Excessive spoiling and pictures of excessive spoiling now follow...

Then I got out my new camera  :)...

 

Someone has hair long enough to wear a bow now!!

Walking more

Christmas preparations

We are getting ready for Christmas!  The boys are done with WIPP until 2012.  Last Friday they had their Christmas program.  What follows are the best video clips we could get.  Byron was dressed as a shepherd and actually sang this year.  Waylon isn't singing in his clip, I think he did say jingle bells once.  He was most active immediately after getting his "instrument".  :)  He just stood there the rest of the time.  He looked like he was getting more and more worried as the song went on.  At the end, he looked pretty close to tears. 


Our proud musicians and best bud Haku...

 

Lastly, Edie is now walking!  She's taken several steps.  She'll take 4-5 at a time now.  Today I got a video of  one step.   She walked from the boys bed to their table, disguised as a tent (the table, not Edie).

Literary lady

 

Several times in the last couple days I've found Edie in her room looking at  her books.  She likes this one especially, it is a peek a boo book with a mirror at the end.  

The end of an era?

Waylon is finally doing really well with potty training.  We started wearing undies and pull ups last April, so it has been a long, dirty road.  Many times this last summer I remember having to (it was necessary to keep me sane.) go run at the Y and screaming "I hate poop" in my head as I was pounding out my frustrations on the treadmill.  Most days, we are able to spend the day in undies now.  We still have some situations where the undies don't make it through the day, but he's getting much much better.  He has actually started telling us when he needs to go which is a huge accomplishment in my book.  A lot of times, he gets "that look" on his face or says he has to go and then says, "Oh, I just tooted".  So hard not to laugh.

Savannah bridge run

The run was yesterday.  Very hilly but really fun.  Placed 19th with a time of 29:52.  Woohoo!
