Connor and spent a Saturday morning turning him into Clifford the Big Red Dog. The craft project was part of a DVD Grandma Esbenshade rented. Connor couldn't wait to have his own Clifford ears and nose...we even made a tail!
Here are my guys! Enjoying a special evening watching Tom and Jerry on the portable DVD player in Connor's room. Aren't they cute?
Yep, it's August already. Where did the summer go? Time just sweeps past us. Life has been good for the Esbenshade clan. I've been feeling a little under the weather, but I'm trying to get more sleep, eat better, and take vitamins. Hopefully, I'll be feeling better in no time.
We had our first visit with a therapist for Jackson yesterday. She was really nice...Carol is her name. She asked a lot of questions, then helped show us some ways to encourage Jackson to interact with us. We'll work on it...and she'll be back in two weeks.
Sawyer is growing like a weed. It seem like he's getting a new tooth every time we turn around. He's got 8 choppers now. He gets a little fussy, but it usually his pleasant self. He's also crawling at full throttle! Boy, can this kid move. Things have gotten a whole lot busier with him on the move.
Connor is doing great. He's really into spider man right now. He loves the Saturday morning cartoon and could watch it over and over, if we let him. He's cute to watch...he tries to remember the theme song, then sings it back to us. He got into a little trouble pretending to be spider man though. He was using a bungie cord with hooks of the end to "swing" from the top of the swing set. Well, he tried to pull Jackson up to the top of the swing set with the hook (also known as his web)...the hook broke free and snapped up hitting Connor's eye. Fortuantely, I was outside mowing...I didn't see it happen, but I did see Connor in tears, sliding down the sliding board. He has a nice gash on the top of this eye lid...and the eye lid got pretty swollen, but after a good bit of Mommy TLC...and a Hershey kiss, he was doing pretty well. I think he'll have a scar, but it would have been a lot worse!
