Wrist Band = Treat

Bryson had to get his blood drawn for his egg allergy, they needed to do an immunio cap (I think that it is what it's called) I am so proud at how well Bryson did when they drew his blood. We had to go to the hospital to get it drawn and he didn't like getting his wrist band on, so I told him that it was so that he could get a treat. He then was proud to wear the wrist band. Once we went in to get his blood drawn we gave him a sucker, by then he just held it as he watched the lady put the rubber tie around his arm, and once she poked him he started crying. I tried humming to him, but we had to restrain him so that he wouldn't grab the needle and he didn't like that. He did stop crying for a little bit while they were drawing the blood and was just watching the blood come out, then he started to cry again. He really didn't like getting a band-aid put on it either. We had him wear it home but then took it off once we got home. He also didn't really care for his sucker anymore. I don't know if he will like getting a wrist band on again to get a treat. Hopefully he won't need to get his blood drawn again for awhile, poor guy!

Snuggler

Dear Bryson,
I loved that you jumped in bed with me yesterday morning. You did strip your pajamas off for the first time and then jumped in, but I loved cuddling up with you. You would take my bear and snuggle it and then pretended that the bear was saying "hello" to me and you, and then you would laugh. You were so happy and silly. You didn't want to get dressed for a little while yesterday, which is a first, since you usually will sit and say "cold" whenever don't have your shirt or pants on. But yesterday you wanted to be free I guess. I love you!
Love,
Mom

Cheer

While Bryson was downstairs playing with his favorite friend, I was upstairs updating all of my primary files while listening to them play. All of a sudden I started to smell laundry detergent. Why would I be smelling laundry detergent? So I headed down stairs to find about 7 full loads worth of laundry detergent ALL OVER the floor. I quickly put Bryson in time out and started shaking off toys to remove laundry detergent. After clearing all the toys I took Bryson out of the corner, went and got the vacuum and started to vacuum, while the boys headed upstairs. I vacuumed up the detergent leaving the fresh smell of Cheer all over the floor. I came upstairs to check on the 2 little boys to find Bryson typing away at the computer with different warning signs all over the screen. After removing them from that situation I went downstairs to get the vacuum and I just happened to look into the play tent house they have to find another load of laundry detergent all over the tent. Once I finally finished cleaning all the Cheer up and brought the vacuum upstairs to my surprise the little kiddos were in my bedroom. I was just imagining my chap stick to be all over the place or my wedding ring to be down the heating vent. Instead I found each boy with a colorful pixi stix in their hand with them broken and pixi candy dropping all over the floor. How they got to it, I don't know. I have learned a lesson though. Don't EVER leave 2 boys alone unless everything is boy proofed. Brysons hasn't gotten into this much trouble in a long time, or maybe ever. But I do have to say the look on Bryson's face when I put him into the corner was the cutest little sad puppy dog face I have ever seen, but I didn't let that face win me over, he would have to do cute puppy dog faces all day to get out of this mess.

Car Games

Playing I spy in the car...
Megan: I spy something that is green.
Me: Is it in the car or outside the car?
Megan: In the car (holding up a piece of paper)
Me: Is it that piece of paper that you are holding.
Megan: Yes, Mom you are good.

Surprise

Dear Megan,
I loved your surprises today! I loved that you went the extra mile and cleaned up the entire basement even though I only asked you to clean up the books, and then you went upstairs while I was vacuuming downstairs and cleaned up your room to surprise me. I wish that you would surprise me more often, but I will take it when I get it!

I love you,
Love,
Mom
