Cute boys

I babysat for my friends two boys on saturday, and just wanted to share two pics I was able to snap. I didn't get one of M, but couldn't resist B in the wagon and then D climbed in too.

D and his girl

Some splurge night pics

Last night was Beth and I's monthly splurge, we had it at Saltgrass Steakhouse. There are some pics over on my Daily BDizzle page, but here are a few of D being silly, and one of me and my little man.

Ahhhhh she got me!

Peace out, dude!

Gettin jiggy wit it

A day at the State Fair of Texas!

Today, D and I, and Teresa and J, hit up the State Fair of Texas. We had a great time! We even saw another DAM mom there too!

First up, HAVE to ride the big ferris wheel, The Texas Star!

Teresa and J in line...

The boys are ready to go!

D and I on the ferris wheel, waiting on it to go

Off we go! D is in awe at the scenery...

WAY up in the air...

After that, we stopped for some lunch...pizza all around...and no lunch at the fair is complete without...FUNNEL CAKE! D and I split one.

We skimmed by Big Tex...

D was sleepy, he doesn't look too impressed...

The boys watching the trains that go around

We stopped for a bit to see some dancing

Then some silly fun...

And hit up the kids barnyard...D was WAY impressed with this huge tortoise

He was very sweet feeding this goat

Yeah, it wouldn't even LOOK at him...lol

He was quite perturbed that this one ignored him...

Hey big guy how you doing?

He came right over to eat from the guy next to me...

I title this one "Contentment"

Me and my baby

On to ICE CREAM!

We did a whole lot of walking after this, and even went through the cattle...this little guy was just going to town...lol

And this is the ONLY child that passed out on the way home...no thanks to D tryna mess with him...LOL

Could it be true???

For real?? I think...yep, it just might be so...I think...D might be DAY TRAINED! He's not near to being night trained since he sleeps so deep, but I think he's got this daytime thing down! He's been in underwear since before school started, but was having accidents a lot, and I considered him more "parent trained", where he would stay dry as long as you would remind him. He still has accidents at school once a week or so, but I've been testing him a bit more at home. I really try to not ask him if he needs to go and wait til he tells me, and he's been doing a really good job with it!! WOOHOO!!! I'm so excited! He told me he had to go potty twice while at the ER last week and stayed dry the whole time there too. I really think this is it!

AND on Sunday, I had him in a pullup since we were going to my grandma's house for lunch and then to a birthday party where I knew he'd have a hard time staying calm. And he DID wet his pullup while there, but when we got to the car, he was TELLING me that his pullup was wet and that he wanted it off. He's NEVER done that!

*sniff* My little man is growing up...now to go get those stitches taken out tomorrow night, wooooo. :(

A 5K and the Heard Museum - Dinosaurs!!

Well, first today, D and I got up early and walked in the NOCC 5K with some other DAM mommas. See pics and details here: http://dailybdizzle.blogspot.com

After a yummy protein filled lunch at IHOP, D and I went home for a short nap (only 30 minutes for me! Ugghh...) and then headed to the Heard Museum in Mckinney to see the dinosaurs!

D walking through the GIANT snake!

Playin with dinos in the sandbox

Off to see the Animatronic Dinos!

D was telling this lil girl, "its ok, they won't hurt you!", he's so sweet...*love* Sadly, she told him "I KNOW they won't..." uggh what a way to knock a gentleman down...lol

The trails were tough with the stroller so D walked most of it. Well, ran most of it...lol

I SO FREAKIN LOVE THIS PHOTO

Checkin out a little house

Ya think the dinosaur scared him??

Mommy and D with a friendly (???) dino

According to D, this one "blew wind on people"...uhhh it was spitting water...lol

That boy looks SO small compared to TRex...wow!

On to the petting zoo...this guy was gobbling UP our food...

And wanted MORE...

Ride em, cowboy!!

Checkin out some flowers right before we left...

An update and a new pic

D had an ok day today. He did fall asleep at school complaining of some pain :( Poor guy! Tonite I removed the bandages, cleaned it up some, and put a sock on him to wear to bed so he doesn't try to scratch it in the night. Here's a pic of the finished result c/o our friendly ER stitcher.

My poor guy!!! *warning: graphic pic*

We get home from school and work this evening, D opens the screen door (his routine, he loves to be a "helper") so that I could unlock the back door, and immediately he starts screaming. Apparently he didn't move his foot out of the way fast enough and the bottom of it caught him. :( I rushed him inside to clean it up, but took one look at it, and headed out the door. We tried this little clinic first near here, but the doc is on vacation, so we headed up to Plano Medical Center.

He gashed his ankle and it was worrying me because I saw white underneath and it wasn't bleeding THAT much, not gushing or anything, but the skin was definitely torn apart and some of it was hanging as you can see.

Anyway, we were there from 6:30pm to 11pm...egads...but in the end, he came home with 6 stitches and a popsicle in his tummy for his efforts in fighting and screaming when they were sticking a needle in his ankle...heh...

He is happily passed out in the bed...I don't have a pic of the stitches but here's a purty pic of the original wound...and one of D being silly with some stickers they gave him in the ER room.
