"green pick up truck."

it wasn't until almost ten that he was up. he got a good sleeper sticker, which made it another ten. he picked out this truck. he talked about it the whole day and sometimes kept it in his pocket.

"want to help!"

how sweet. he walked by rolling his shopping cart into the kitchen. he went for the plates and i said no, but he said he wanted to help and handed me the plate. i thanked him and he continued with the rest of the plates. what a sweetie, if only he had started doing this earlier!

family outing

summerfest, brea

thanks for the penguin, baba!

sharing a hot dog with baba. lots of different food and food trucks too. yum. we did some sampling.

we scored a big box of cool old school (literally) books. some had great titles and pictures. we didn't anticipate looking through old books and buying a whole box full, but it was fun!

police car, green ambulance, and fire trucks. he got to see all of them! he didn't want to leave, he wanted to stay to see them. i had to tell him we were going to sam's club, but it didn't have as much effect as i thought it might.

sam's club for milk, fruit, and jam.

no trains playing this time, it was buzz (lightyear, toy story 3 playing on the display tv's). but how about a berry sundae?

domo backpack is back. he kept asking for his stickers. i told him that was from music class and there's no more music class. now i put his stuff in it for him to hold.

afternoon with the boys

it's ok boys, you're not in trouble...

baby duckies and turtles!

big slide, head first! good job, nj!

group hug goodbye...

looks familiar...

the parking lot dragon that nj loves to point out. today it was quite deflated. as soon as i saw it, i turned to him and he was passed out!

after dinner walk

nj insists on holding the leash now. but sometimes if dotty pulls then he lets go. it's very funny when dot wraps around him and then he has to turn in circles to get out of it. or when she walked fast and he had to do a little run. if she stopped for too long, he'd call her. ha, ha.

before his bedtime prayer, we asked him who he wanted to pray for. he said, gabby and ah-ma. in the last couple days, he'll just add something to the end of our prayers so we figured it would be good to ask him ahead of time now.

it's getting harder to be away from him even for part of the day. there's only been one thursday since leaving the hospital that i haven't had to go to clinic.

he really loves his yogurt

my silly boy

smile! please...

more pineapple please

I said ok, but then he kept going... and strawberry, and cantaloupe, and grape! ok!

look mama, look baba!

big one train! he copied cameron by linking all the trains together. he was so excited about it that he called us both over to look at it.

in the car, we told him that we were going home and that he's going to bed. and he said: "sleep long time and baba can give you another one sticker." ha, ha.

playtime with gabby

want to see?

which means, I want to see (nj does). he loves looking at photos so I gave him one to hold. he especially loved holding this one and said her name over and over. ha, ha.
