A Buch of What Nots...

An odds and ends post...

TJ- Tristan is doing well. He's up and mobile (like we didn't all know he would be, lol) and into absolutely everything. I swear, from the beginning you never would have known he'd had surgery...well you wouldn't have known if you'd not seen him in the hospital screaming...like in the pictures below. Avery came home Sunday (after an extended stay with my mom to allow time for TJ to rest) and thus ended Tristan's stint on the couch. He's been up and raring to go ever since. He's making marked improvements in the speech department, and although we've not had another official hearing test I'm seeing signs that he's hearing more clearly. Last night Josh and I were watching TV while the kids were being slow to finish their dinner. All of a sudden TJ started screaming and laughing and pointing to the window. Low and behold about 5 minutes later the ice cream truck came down the street. Our only explination is that he heard the melody from the truck long before we could see it out the window. Mind you this is comming from a kid that never acknowledged the sound before.

Avery- Avery is recovering from being throughly spoiled at Nana's. He seems to be looking forward to school...and Halloween, lol. How do you explain to a four year old that you'd prefer not to rush the holidays?! They come fast enough on their own. Anywho...He wants to be a pirate (perhaps because of Mommy and Daddy's new interest in Pirates of the Carribean: Dead Man's Chest? Could be, lol.) He got an inflatable sword out of a McDonald's Happy Meal while he was with Nana and he got to watch Peter Pan. Now he's running through the house swashbuckling the furniture and telling Tristan he must "Walk the pwank!"

TV- Yes being shut in with a sick toddler necessitates a what not about TV. Does anyone watch House, M.D.?! OMG!! I love this show. First off..how handsome is Hugh Laurie?! And he's English besides...wouldn't know from that whiskey over gravel voice on the show, lol. Just too much. Alot of people are like "But he's just such an ass!" But its SOOO much fun to watch him be one! Oh and then I've also been watching So You Think You Can Dance?...Now...Im' not usually a reality TV person. I don't like American Idol and I've never watched at any reality show for more than just a minute before I loose interest. That being said I'm a dance junkie. I'll watch the Ballroom Championships on PBS for hours. So when I saw SYTYCD? I was interested but skeptical. WOW! These people can dance. And Benji?! Man...too cute. He's just awesome and if he doesn't win I will be very surprised. Damn...alright I've giving away enough of my geekdom, lol.

New LO- So I've been super busy with TJ but right before his surgery I did have to put in my Sponsor LOs. Here are a couple (really just two, lol) that I was pleased with.
