A Few Funny Things. . .

* this morning I was telling Mason that pretty soon we would move to our new house. He has seen it when we drove by last week and he said "you mean the CASTLE." We laughed and then he said "when we live in the castle, I will get to be the PRINCESS." No matter how hard Marshall tried, he could not convince Mason that he would be the prince and not the princess.
* Mason and Myles spent the weekend at grandma Delta's house and when they got back Mason told me "I got tickets to the Grandma show! I'm going tomorrow!"
* Mason has been to Sunbeams in Delta a few times over the last month and I guess yesterday they asked him if next time he could give a talk! So in two weeks (the weekend we are moving) he will be giving a talk. He is so excited--everyday he comes home from Sunbeams and tells me he wants to talk in the black thing (microphone).
* Grandma Delta bought Myles Toy Story pull-ups and now he is obsessed with pulling them up and down by himself. He constantly tells us he needs to go potty (just so he can pull his pull-up down) but has never gone on the potty yet. Right after we put his diaper back on, but never in the toilet.

Things that should probably be labelled as disturbing rather than cute. . .
* when Mason is mad at Myles he yells "bad Myles" to which Myles responds even louder "NO! Bad you!" They can go back and forth yelling this forever.
* Myles new favorite word: BUTT-HEAD. He hasn't said it for a few days, thank goodness, but for a few days there he was constantly saying it and Marshall and I were trying so hard not to crack up.
* Myles has a hard time pronouncing the words "fork" and "frog" and both of those sounds almost exactly like another f-word that we don't say in our house. Last week I was upstairs cleaning and I heard Myles downstairs yelling "oh-f---" over and over again. I couldn't imagine where he picked up that horrible word so I ran down stairs and he was throwing a tiny plastic frog up in the air and yelling "oh-frog" everytime it landed. Phew!

Maybe that is why he is always so worried about that princess falling through the floor... Ah well, I guess we know we should get him a little tiara for Christmas :)

We're Coming Home!!!

I'm not posting "before" pictures because they are a little too scary, but this is a pretty good "after" picture if you ask me! Mason had another amazing night. Yesterday he wouldn't stand on his own (we think because of all the bruising, pulled groin muscle, swollen foot) but he slept really well all night (and kept his oxygen levels up without help) and this morning he woke up with a lot more energy. He ate 3 little boxes of fruit loops, 2 containers of milk, and is working on a muffin now. He's gone potty by himself, and walked back and forth to the playroom down the hall two or three times. He seems completely back and in the playroom used potato heads to re-enact a scene from Toy Story 2. The pediatrician just came in and told us that he feels good about going home as long as we follow-up with our pediatrician by Wednesday morning at the latest to get the stitches out, re-write prescriptions (can't fill Canadian ones in US), and decide where ...

Quick Update

First of all, thanks for all the prayers we know are received. I'm going to make this update quick and dirty since I have a hard time thinking about it and I want to get back to Mason. I also don't know if every detail is completely accurate but this is the way I understand it. Yesterday afternoon my dad and Marshall took the two boys hiking at Boundary Bay in Waterton . It is a short flat trail that you access through a boat ride and goes for a mile or so and crosses over a creek. They were hiking along and when they got close to the creek the boys stopped and Mason held my dad's hand while Myles held Marshall's. My dad and Mason were in front and to get onto the bridge (just two cut logs with a hand rail on one side) you have to step on a rock. Mason and my dad both stepped on the rock and Mason was so excited to see the water that he jumped up onto the bridge. He slipped, causing my dad to loose his balance and Mason spun around causing my dad to loose the grip on hi...

Miraculous Update July 4th 6 AM

We had an amazing night. Yesterday the doctors said they would take out the tube in the morning unless he was clearly awake and tried pulling it out (because they wanted to go home--understandably). We had two wonderful nurses who have been working with him who really believed he was ready and would be happier with it out and so they irritated him to wake him by taking out his cathetar, brushing his teeth, suctioning him over and over until he really was awake and fighting them. The doctor finally said they could take it out and after grabbing a team of about 10 and a crash cart just in case they took it out. He threw up a lot, coughed a bit, whined a little, and then fell back to sleep (perfect because all he has in him is tylenol and is probably in pain). He woke up 3 or 4 times during the night absolutely frantic kicking and crying and each time he would eventually say softly "potty, need to get out". He was wearing a diaper and we would all just have to encourage him tha...
