So last Friday Allyson graduated and it was a good excuse to get some fancy clothes for Nick and Eric. The shirts I found were in the boys section and were massively huge on them, but they still looked pretty amazing. However I didn't get one for Liam and the only thing close was this onesie that doesn't even really fit anymore...but it was better than *GASP* not matching!!!!! The graduation itself went pretty well. Liam ripped out on of my earrings...Nicholas I think sat still for about 3 seconds and Eric continually said, "That's Ally!" Even if it wasn't Ally. All 3 of them were tired and pretty soon Nicholas spotted the playground and had a full on nuclear meltdown. So I left!
Saturday evening the kids were playing in Grandma's backyard and were very cute...as usual.
Also, a few weeks ago we got this toy from DI that is a tape player with 2 microphones. I finally put batteries in it on Saturday. Nick and Eric loved it so much that they broke it by Sunday. That's how it goes though. Eric has asked repeatedly for the, "Wadio." Nick is doing very well with his cast. Occasionally it gets pulled on or banged into something and he cries about it, and it is super annoying to put on shirts or should I say JACKETS (why oh why Utah are you SNOWING again...I'm so sick of jackets!?) Liam said Hello yesterday but has since refused to say it and only grunts. Ryan heard it too though so I KNOW he said it.
Awhile ago the kids got to play in these cars at Gramma Annette's house and do all sorts of other silly things. I never blogged about it, but...decided to now.
Potty Training:
I gave potty training a real go, TWICE. I'm not doing it ever again! Ok...so maybe I'll do it in a few weeks...months!
Injuries:
One day I cooked fish sticks for lunch. Then Nick decided to open the still warm oven and then slam the door shut. The only real bad thing about this was Liam decided to put his hand in the oven in the 1.5 seconds it was open. At first he seemed fine, other than bawling his face off. His hand looked totally fine. However he continued crying for about another 3 hours. He screamed all through the first hour of nap time and then I noticed the blisters. Awful awful awful. Then we took him to the doctor, who popped them and made me hold him down while he cried and screamed, because doctors are sadistic like that. Liam wore a sock on his hand that was duct taped to his shirt sleeve for about a week and a half, sooo much fun for him! The day after the burn incident Eric decide to have some weird rash show up on his back. Ryan was really concerned, and took him to the doctor, who looked through dermatology books, came up with nothing and said, "Well maybe it will just go away tomorrow." Stuff like that makes me wanna kick doctor's in the shins. However it did start fading away the next day and he seems to be no worse for wear.
But would this be the end of our health issues? No of course not, with 3 boys, things tend to come in threes. Nick has a habit of climbing out of bed. Sometimes he doesn't, but sometimes he does, and he has a low crib so we haven't been to concerned. So last tuesday he was in a mischievous mood and climbed out like 10 times in 5 minutes and was frustrating everyone. Then one of these times he climbs out and starts crying a lot, saying that his arm hurts. I kiss him better, put him in bed, he acts fine and soon goes to sleep. He wakes up 3 hours later complaining about his arm. So we go get x-rays and sure enough, 2 broken bones in 4 places. He was a trooper and only cried when they took his temperature in his ear. Yesterday he got a cast put on it and he picked red, and everything seems to be going well and he went to bed tonight just fine with no Ibuprofen.
Oh yeah...we also have a slide now. They love it. Hoorah yard sales!
Mother's Day/Cuteness blurb #2:
In the afternoon after the kids woke up from their nap, we were goofing around a little bit before heading over to Ryan's parents for a BBQ.
It was a good day. I ate cheesecake...Yay!
Milestones:
On the 10th Liam turned 18 months! Woohoo!
He doesn't talk much, but makes tons of noise. He likes to bang on the tv and open the kitchen drawers. He points to his nose on command now and likes to put on his squeaky shoes. When you put him in non-squeaky shoes...he's kinda sad. Like his brothers, he LOVES Little Einsteins. If you are watching it, and change the channel, he cries. A lot. Since moving here he has become nearly inseparable from me, especially if people come over to the house. His new molars FINALLY came in, and everyone is the better for it. His favorite food is probably Chocolate Chip Pancakes and when he has drank his milk, he will gladly finish off Nick and Eric's.
P.S. He's super duper cute.
Cuteness Blurb #3:
I got a haircut today. Maybe when I feel less gross looking I'll post a picture. So...that probably won't happen for a long time. ha!
