So many little things....

Mornings....
At the beginning of the summer, we FINALLY convinced Sarah to stop calling for us in the morning when she woke up. She will now finally get up and leave her room. But she still won't go past her door if Justin is not up. If his door is closed, she will go back into her room and wait for him. She has never come into us. So weird. But that was a HUGE step! If she hears that he is up, she will still call for him though.

Swimming....
For a little girl that wouldn't even go into the pool until last year, Sarah has now come a LONG way! We have spent a ton of time in the pool this year. It has been a HOT summer. We convinced her to get her face wet. We convinced her to jump in! That was HUGE! She loved it. We even convinced her to jump off the diving board (with a life jacket, of course.) (She actually was easier to get in than Justin. Justin wouldn't really do it and eventually Grampy just pushed him off the board. He loved it, of course!) Then the swim lessons started. She started in level 1, Justin in level 2. After 8 lessons, she just moved up to level 2 today with Justin. She is so excited. We had practiced on Thursday having her jump into Grammy's pool while holding onto the boogie board so she was prepped for that and did great. I was glad we practiced though. The first 2 times we did it she let go of the board and went right under. So it helped that she learned how to it and was ready for it today. She did great! Then today we went swimming at Grammy's all day with teh Washocks and she spent the day in the shallow end with no swimmies on. She did great trying to swim all day. (But boy did she get tired by evening!)

Bees....
My strange boy today told Andrea not to worry about the bees b/c "they won't bother you if you ignore them." really? When did his feelings change?

Teeth.....
Justin had 2 teeth pulled on June 30th. He wasn't very happy about it when he figured out what was happening. He had medicine that made him awake but forget it all.
Oh my....
about 20 minutes after he took it, he slowly lifted his arm, looking at it "woah, this is weird." The nurse picked up the phone right away "I think he's ready." lol
He was so out of it but during the procedure he cried and cried. It was so sad.
When we got home, he was still just so out of it. He couldn't hold his head up for a while. His lip was so swollen and he couldn't stand how funny it felt. It was all so weird.
