My Sweet Boy
Silas just woke up and came downstairs...rushing to the potty. I asked "Do you have to go to the potty?" (duh)
He says in his sweet, baby voice, "yes - and then I'll hug you and kiss you" :-)
I just love him...

First Day of Summer Break!
Yesterday was the last day of school - wow this year went fast!
Ella had a fantastic year in kindergarten. I've forgotten how much they learn so quickly at that age. She also made a lot of friends this year and was invited to umpteen birthday parties for girls in her class. She is VERY excited about being a First grader!
They had a Clap Out for the 8th graders - the 7th graders, teachers and parents lined the hallways as the 8th graders toured the building one last time and we all clapped them out of the building (and they promptly locked the doors behind them). I can't even say "clap out" with out tearing up and getting mushy. They do it at our elementary school too for the 5th graders moving on to the 6th grade building. Seems like yesterday that we were clapping him out there...and now I have a HIGH SCHOOLER!
Lots of summer fun planned...the beach in June, zoo outings, camping...can't wait!!Thursday, May 28, 2009
Dentist Trip for Si
We are very used to the kids getting bumps, bruises, etc., especially Silas - he seems to be most like his father....(Mom or Dad J. - we might need to get your version of why you used to make Justin wear a helmet...).
Somehow during the last few days or week, Silas managed to bump a tooth and it started turning gray. I noticed it several days ago and got him in to see the dentist today. The good news is that there is no major damage and Si doesn't seem to have any pain. But there is definitely some kind of nerve damage so the tooth will stay gray and most likely get worse - so Photoshop will be my friend until he loses that tooth in a few years...
He also managed to run into his sister who was talking on the phone this evening and got another little bump on his head.
Silas was a major rock star at the dentist. He was momma's baby when we were going in, holding my hand and looking around. As soon as the dental hygienist came out into the lobby and called "Silas" - he was walking off with her - head up, shoulders back and strutting off. A total BIG BOY.
He did exactly as she asked, never squirmed or made a peep.
He even did awesome during the x-rays.
Ella and I sat and watched (and took pictures). Her turn is next week, just for a cleaning. Silas set a very good example for her!

Race for the Cure and Chicago
Saturday, May 16 was my very first Race for the Cure. What an amazing, inspiring event. I have never seen so many people at an event like this!
I was on the Heather Pick team (with about 6,000 others!) so I got to wear the pink wig.
Me and Margie
Donna and me
Margie and Sarah
Wonderful walk and I'm already looking forward to next year's!
Immediately after the walk, I ran home, threw my bags together for a 4 day trip with Beth to Chicago to help Andrea out with baby Lucy while Tom was out of town. And OH, she is gorgeous!!
(yes, my ovaries are sending me subliminal messages about needing another baby...)
While I was gone, Justin held down the fort, and did a great job as usual.
He even gave Si a haircut, which was desperately needed.
Doesn't he look like such a big boy??
He's also getting very tall. I think he's going through a growth spurt because he's been sleeping almost 12 hours at night. Which means all those shorts and t-shirts I just bought him won't fit much longer!!

Remedy for Being Cold
Another Silas James moment today. I was pulling my sweater around me and said:
"oh, I'm cold"
"you're cold mommy?" he asked.
"yes, I'm cold"
"maybe you need to go poopy" he says.
1. Does a 3 year old know what sarcasm is and how to use it?
2. Do I really say that to them every time there is a bellyache, toothache, boo-boo?
3. Reminded me of Tim Hawkins talking about moms:
"oh, I'm cold"
"you're cold mommy?" he asked.
"yes, I'm cold"
"maybe you need to go poopy" he says.
