September Fourth

Just got our exact surgery date in for Alex. It will be September the 4th in the morning and we will be back home on the 5th. Alex will be staying overnight at Childrens Hospital in Detroit. Of course the 4th is also Sebastians first day of school so we will see how we go about juggling all this business.....

All At Once

Sebastian is back to school in just a few weeks. First Grade here we come! I was getting excited because as summer drags on slowly but surely the boys are driving me nuts. I am a little sad too though. With every passing day I realize just how fast my oldest is growing. There is so much that is already too baby for him I wonder how much longer play dough will be entertaining for him. I don't know what we will do without play dough. He still likes pretend play but would prefer a video game or the computer hands down to any suggestion I could make aside from playing a game with mom. I hope he never outgrows that. This year we have learned new card games and yahtzee . I know the day is probably not too far away that I will not be allowed to play with him anymore as it is I am lucky to be allowed to kiss his forehead!

Zander Mander update

It is official, we spoke with the specialist/surgeon and Alex will be having his tonsils and adenoids removed in September. No word on the exact date yet but hopefully soon. It's about time we got some sleep!

On another more positive note, we are almost completely potty-trained. We are still having some trouble with number 2 but other than that we are almost accident free, even at naps and night!

He is growing so very fast now I can even see Preschool in our future. He continues to constantly test his limits but that will be happening until he is an adult I suppose.

We have a camping trip coming up this weekend and I am excited about that. It should be alot of fun unless of course nobody sleeps!
