Sometimes it is just the simple things in life. I am completely in love with the randomness of the following phrase:

"Momma ... I love you." 


This of course is followed with a giant hug to my legs. Sometimes I will catch his eye and he'll stop, stare back for a moment. Then, as though it was part of a screenplay, he will smile his big grin and proceed with the above phrase.

I love my little Irish-looking Doog.

First Trip to Dr Page

There are many "firsts" in your life, and this was just another one: Your first trip to the dentist. Dr Page's office is filled with tons of cool stuff and to be honest, it's one of Bubba's favorite places! After your visit they let you pick a sticker and toys out of the treasure box. Bubba came with you and wanted to take over the show!

He asked if HE could ride in the chair that goes up and down, and HE wanted to show you how the magic squirt gun worked (teeth rinser). You were a bit shy because all of the attention turned on YOU YOU YOU, so you hid behind my leg a little bit until you realized that Bubba just might get to take your thunder. You then hopped up like a pro to take the glory.

Dr Page counted your teeth and you were really happy when they put the Sponge Bob sunglasses on for you; that was just TOO COOL. Lorrie let you squirt the tooth rinser at her and you liked that. Next week both you and Maysen go back to have your teeth cleaned so that will be your real first "procedure". We'll see how it goes, but I think you'll do just fine.

As for everything else you are growing like a weed! You've grown about 6" since we moved into this house which was only 8 months ago. Now just a few inches literally separate you and your brother, even though you're 3 years apart! You're now potty trained, going to school in undies, and sleeping at night with nothing! You've only had 3 accidents at night so far and none in the last few weeks so you're pretty much there! (Shhhh, don't tell your brother you're just about better at pooping in the toilet than he is!).

You were registered for preschool the other day so you'll start that new adventure in the fall!

We bought our boat a few weeks ago (SeaRay) and just yesterday brought home our new Tahoe, so we're looking forward to turning you into a water dog this summer! Boy are you guys excuted! You got your new life jacket (thanks to Austin Glenn!) so we are ready for action once the weather turns nice!

Love you, Doobs.

As I sit typing at the computer, a naked-from-the-waist-down Griffy entered the office. He was attempting to climb the desk and piddle around. All of a sudden I heard a bare-butt fart come out of him. He stopped what he was doing aburptly and looked up at me.

Uh-Oh. Guess what, Momma. My butt burped.
