Time Goes So Fast.....

I cant believe it is 6/11 already. James will be turning three in less than a month. WHERE DOES THE TIME GO.

So we have free time on hand now no more PT or OT Yes we have GRADUATED!!! But I still can't seem to get things done, of course free time means play time which don't get me wrong I am not complaining. I bought the summer movie fun tickets, where you get 10 movies for $7 I only had to pay for myself because James is under three.(not for long) So we have done 2 movies so far, the first one being TMNT(James did not like it nor did I) But this is how our first trip to the theater played out.

We first walked into the lobby and he went crazy WOW!!! running all over he did not know what to do or to go or to say(they also have an arcade there as well.
So we go to enter the theater and James would not even step foot in, he said (no, my scared) what are you afraid of (dark in there) oh well it's OK theres a little bit of light and it has to be dark to see the movie) we proceed in.
We get to our seats and I sit him in the chair and he almost was thrown backwards, he was not big nor heavy enough to hold the seat down (James What Happened Ma Ma) Duh! booster seat I did not know they had booster seats until a dad sitting by us told me where to get them.
We all had a good laugh though(poor little guy)
So 10 minutes into the movie, James says,(Ready go bye bye now) we lasted another 5 minutes I think. The movie started at 9:45 and we were heading home about 10:15am.
But the next week was Surf's Up and our neighbor with 2 little girls joined us and we stayed the whole movie. Of course there were a few ready to go bye bye now's and up, down from his seat 30 times, but all in all not to bad. Cute movie to I really enjoyed it. We have 7 more to go with a couple we won't be going to just because of the movie (such as Nancy Drew I don't think he would be in to it.

James is rocking my world, he is talking all the time, all the time from the moment he wakes and sometimes in his sleep. He has started the WHY'S why, why, why, and where and whats and you name it's and all though I am thrilled by all means I find myself at times wanting to say James be quiet for 2 seconds, I never do though but my breaking point is near. I took a child development class in high school and the only information I retained was when it comes to toddlers such as James's age and they start saying why after EVERYTHING you say it is because they want to have a conversation with you and since they can't, by saying why and you keep responding to them there having a conversation with you in there minds. Make sense, but with this being said and known, I feel compelled to answer him every time and I get tired, funny too sometimes I can't figure out an answer to tell him, Huh.

He is just so awesome and smart, he does not forget a thing, and even pays attention when driving in the car some of the car dealerships up the road have these big blow up things, like a MUSCLE GUY, BIG EAGLE a BLUE MONKEY and a GREEN DINOSAUR and every time we head in that direction James says, BIG EAGLE BE THERE MA MA and so on. Also if I go home a different way he tells me it's the wrong way and to turn around. It cracks me up.

He also says Bless you when you sneeze, thank you all the time at it's appropriate time, excuse me. He is so polite. All though the other day we were at Target and there was a lady with her cart blocking the isle and James said WATCH OUT LADY, I corrected him and he said Sorry to her and EXCUSE ME LADY. She was laughing hysterically.

SO many more it is just AMAZING indeed. I need to get better about pictures and videos it goes so quick. I think I will start taping him to someone suggested that to me and I think it would be cute later on.

Any way all for now, except to let you all know James is having a tube put in his left ear to drain the fluid on Friday we just need it in one ear which is odd. No big deal though minor surgery compared to all the others. Also our GI is putting James on a drug call Amytriptolene(unsure of spelling) to help with pain (because we all feel he has significant pain when eating, so cross your fingers this helps us get him to feeling better, so he will eat more by mouth as well a tolerated larger feeds through his tube. We need to bulk this kid up over the summer before he starts school. But today he weighed 24.55lbs, and on 6/7 he was 24.25lbs, so about .25 oz in 5 days. Only a preemie mom knows the ounces..... Take Care, Tracy

P.S. I have to have a tooth extracted on Friday as well, I was eating a Now and Later candy and not only did I pull my crown out part of my tooth came with it, yuck, only could happen to me. Luckily it is in the very back so not noticeable, but I think I will check into an implant later I don't want to be toothless.
