Weed Sticker of a Week


THE week...surgery for Stone, information that Jim has a broken bone in his lower back, my mom has surgery next week for a broken bone in her foot, our church just let go an awesome co-pastor, Navy Seals died in Afghanistan on Friday, America is just AA+, and I just blogged for the last two hours then lost most everything!  So, I am starting over with this simple video of Stone.  His compassion for others, even when he is out because of an anesthetic drug, warms my heart.  And I needed it, because this past week truly felt like a weed sticker that won' get off my cute socks; just bought some Whip It roller derby socks and they are very cute!!!

Half Way Done

At the age of 33 months, Stone's sentences and words crack Jim and me up with enormous amounts of  laughter. Lately, his words have been...I hear dinosaurs up there; the AC unit! Pow-Pow, I am a Jedi.  Stop hitting, Lambie!  By the way, most of the time, Stone says his one liners as soon as he wakes or sees Jim or me in the morning!
Stone's words to me on my birthday this past June...Mom: Guess what today is? It is the day that the Lord has made. Stone: No.  And, I want to tell you something. Mom: What? Stone: My bed is wet. Mom: Oh, no!!! Stone: What's that noise? Mom: The A.C. that cools that house off.  And you need to know that today is my birthday.  Stone: Happy Happy Day!
Well, today Stone taught me something about perspective; again!!!  While playing at the Gage house, Stone said, "I am half way done".  This was his response when he was asked if he had "pooped" because we were getting ready for a swim in the "Wal-Mart" swimming pool. (All of us mommies have our own "Wal-Mart" pool, in our own backyards, but being at a different house is such a treat for both the kids and mommies).  Anyways, I thought to myself and then told Alicia...Good, Stone admitted to poop and him needing more time is such a man thing!  So, after 5 more minutes, there was NO poop just pee-pee.  Perspective is a funny thing!!!  For what Stone thought of as "half way done" was completely different than what I thought!   AND no, potty training failed this summer and Stone shows NO interest.
Gage house backyard and no kiddo "pooped"!

 Tomorrow, Stone has surgery for his second set of tubes.  May all go well!
