First Time Out

Lately little Robert has be opening the back screen and trying to walk outside. He's also been doing a number of other things that aren't okay. In the past we've tried time out but it didn't work. He had no clue what we were doing and didn't care that he was sitting in some random corner. The other day he started to open the screen and I told him no no. Of course he looked at me and proceeded to open it. I walked over, took him by the hand and sat him down in the corner. Right off the bat he started crying. I walked away..... he stayed there but was still crying. After about 1 minute he decided he was going to get up. I told him no and to sit down, and again the crying started. We've done this about 4 times and he cries each time, but for the most part stays in the corner. Not sure how well it is working yet.... but we will continue to try it for a while. Hopefully it works!

These are from the his 1st real time out!

Roberts Last Day

So today was Roberts last day of preschool. Robert and I went to spend his last day with him. He had so much fun eating an ice cream sundae at 10:00 in the morning! (it ended up being his breakfast!) Anyway... his first year of school was great! He has grown so much and is becoming more and more independent. He had a wonderful teacher whom he loves so much! Sadly she won't be there next year, she got a great job at OHSU. We are so excited for her.... but we will miss her a lot. She is such a teacher and I know he will miss her a lot!

Thank you teacher Katie for all you do!

Locks of Love!

Today my niece Nikki and I went and donated our hair to Locks of Love. This was her 2nd time and my 1st.

Before

After

I'm not sure how I feel about it yet. I always put my hair up and now I can't!

A Trip to the Cardiologist Equals...

Circles on my Tummy!

Yesterday Robert had an appointment with both of his Cardiologist. They did an Echo of his heart and checked his Pacemaker. In order to check his pacemaker, they put round stickers that are hooked to wires (kind of like an EKG). As you can tell his skin is really sensitive because he now has 4 pink rings on his body. They were still there tonight when he got his PJ's on.

Oh and by the way.... his appointment went great! Everything looks good! His right ventricle has grown since his last appointment ( 1 year ago ) which is great. That means it is growing with him like it should! And so far it looks like we won't have to change the battery for about 7 more years!

Unfinished and not yet started!

So after looking at a friends blog I realised that I have a lot of unfinished and not yet started projects. Her blog has inspired me to get started on some of the things that have been sitting around just waiting for me to pick them up. I hope to finish at least a few of them in the next few weeks! I will post them as I do!

First Bike!

We just got little Robert his 1st bike! (well we got him one for his 3rd Birthday, but he wouldn't stay on it and wasn't really interested) Anyway, Robert and I put it together the other night, while our little man sat and watched! He was so excited! It's been sitting in our trunk waiting for a nice day and he points to it every time I open it.

He loves this thing! He's so good about holding on and keeping his feet on the peddles. He hasn't gotten the hang of peddling yet. But we'll work on that!

This thing is much more fun then a stroller!

Mickey Takes A Bath!

Lately Robert takes 1 of his 9 Mickeys almost everywhere he goes. Yesterday morning he had been carrying the 1st mickey we bought him (which is so dirty I'm somewhat embarrassed that he goes out in public) all over the house. I walked in the bathroom and asked him if he wanted to take a bath. Of course he nodded yes, so we started to take the jammies off. (he's still holding Mickey) After I take one arm out of the jammie's he switches Mickey to the other hand and pulls the other arm out. Now I'm not sure what I was thinking at this point because usually I would have set Mickey outside the bathroom door. Anyway we get all the clothes off and his diaper and I put him in the tub. (again I still don't notice or think about Mickey) So I step out the door to grab a towel off the table (don't worry I didn't really leave him,our dinning room is outside the bathroom!) and I hear this loud splash. This wasn't his typical toy splashing, or leg kicking sound. And then I finally realize what he was playing with, MICKEY! Oh well, Mickey needed a bath anyway!
