Since I did not get a lot of pictures of JB on his birthday, I saw the opportunity recently. It is fun to open presents on your birthday, but it is also fun when a late package arrives. Thanks to Aunt Patti, I got to take some more pictures. He loved all the tissue paper and color.

He loves to wind up bath toys and I don't believe he has ever played with any.

Jbird is doing a little better. Monday we went to the pool and he laid in the shade for 2 hours, did not speak and just had a distant stare. Tuesday we went to the park and he laid on a blanket for 2 hours with his head in my lap. Still some pain, for the most part not taking his meds, but he did eat half a pancake today. The most food he has had in 3 days I think. He is down about 5 pounds. Of course watching him for dehydration. Every time I start to get really concerned, he will rally and drink half a cup of something. At least this morning he is sitting on the couch playing a little with a toy.

JB has been making strides on the potting training. He is initiating some of it on his own. The other day I heard a 6 word sentence..."B dahn here, mom nee you"

The other day, the straw finally broke. One of my boys was asked to do a chore and his immediate response was 'I can't I am playing the Wii". That night the tv got put in a closet and the next day Directv was suspended. (The 2 year contract just came up so I have been waiting for this.) How nice it has been the last couple of days not to have the distraction and other things that come along with the tv. Not sure how long it will be in the closet, but I do hope that Directv never comes back!
