Backdated posts

I have done a terrible job of keeping the blog up to date.  To remedy this, I have created some posts and backdated them to when they actually occurred.  Stay tuned for some new old blog posts!!!

Mr. Chubbs goes under the knife!

Mr. Chubbs has had a recurring ear infection since December which antibiotics did not relieve.  Thankfully, he is such a good natured little boy and this infections were just a nuisance to him and not a battle.  At the recommendation of his primary care physician, we went to a specialist who advised he get tubes put in his ears.  It was a quick series of events.

We got up early and drove about an hour away to the facility.  Mr. Chubbs patiently waited his turn, reading books with Daddy and playing ball.

He went freely with the nurses and did great.  Once he came off the laughing gas, he was calling for Mommy but otherwise not very different.  Once we went back with him, Mr. Chubbs just wanted Mommy to hold him.  He discovered he had a sensor on his foot and quickly removed that.  He was chatting and returned to himself quickly.  The observing nurse discharged him and as we were leaving Mr. Chubbs said "Hug you!" to her and gave her a quick snuggle before we departed.

You could tell he was a little off, probably more confused than anything.  He slept on the way home and snuggled for a little bit once we got home. 

However, the snuggles weren't required for long and soon enough he was up and at it.  He enjoyed a stay home day from daycare and quickly got back to his climbing, book reading, superhero playing ways. 

Super reassuring for this mama!!!

Adventures in Downtown Madison

During the warmer months, the local businesses on Main Street stay open late for Fourth Fridays and the Madison Trolley is patrolling the roads.  This Fourth Friday also happened to be Old Court Days, so our dear friend Julie was in town selling her jewelry (www.JulieBunchOriginals.com).  To convince the kids to go downtown, I said we could ride the trolley....

Little did I know that Judy the Trolley Driver loves to have children help her.  Both Boys got to drive with Judy and they loved it.  I love our community and that there are so many people that make it great!!! 

After our Trolley ride, we stopped for dinner and LBH got his face painted for the first time.  LBH was apprehensive about it and actually changed his mind twice before finally climbing into the chair.  From the artist's collection, he chose Wolverine!  Mr. Chubbs was also going to do it but backed out.

LBH loved that he had "claws" as well!!

Overall, a great visit with Julie and a fabulous evening in our small town!!!!

#TBT - LBH has some dance moves

Rarely can I capture LBH dancing since I can rarely catch him not running through our world.  When he was about 6 months old, we introduced him to Mumford & Sons.

When he was 18 months, we capture him rocking out in my friend's office.

Never a dull moment when this kid is around!!!

LBH Ingenuity

LBH wanted to climb up the slide, so I told him to use his feet.  The video above is his interpretation!

Sorry for the delay.  This video is from April, 2015....oops, Mom Fail!
