Last night we joined the Daniels' family and took the boys to Nickelodean Universe at the Mall of America. This was the Owen's first time riding there. He had a blast! Will slept thru some of it even though it was really loud. It definitely wore them both out.
I thought Uncle Ashton would be proud of Owen for riding the Big Rigs ride. It was like driving a semi-truck. He was steering that wheel like nobody's business!

A Successful Trip
Mom and I took off the day yesterday to go dress shopping for Ashton and Marcie's wedding. We headed to the Mall of America. First stop was Macy's since we found mom's dress there for Brita's wedding. Well no such luck for her there this time around. I was the winner this time.
Mom picked out a dress for me to try on that I would have never even considered and I ended up buying it! It's black so I'm thinking I have to find a fun color shoe to wear with it. I was originally thinking red, but I've found a VERY affordable pair in purple. So I'm hoping they are comfortable. I've got to go over to DSW and try them on before I order them online (from a different website).
So I'm watching American Idol as I'm writing and noticed that Kara's ponytail does not move. Gross!
Wanna an update on the boys?? I know you do... Will is getting good control of his hands. He loves to suck on his fingers. So much so that he sometimes gags himself. He is loosing most of his hair. He's sporting the bald baby look these days. He has really become more vocal lately too.
Owen is very fond of his brother. It's so sweet how he interacts with him. Owen always says, "Look at my brother," when we get to Randi's in the morning. Grandma Dianne and I took Owen into the dr. for a follow-up appointment after his swollen tonsils and ear infection the previous week. Everything looked good. He is SO good at the dr. It's nice. He got two stickers for being so good. He even had to wear one of them again today. Owen's imagination seems to be growing on a daily basis. Most of his silliness seems to come from watching Little Einsteins. There are usually volcanoes and lava threatening his choo-choo's.
Sounds like I'll be putting Rocket (from Little Einsteins) on Owen's birthday cake. I gave him a choice of Rocket or Buzz Lightyear. I was a big surprised, but think it will be a little easier doing Rocket (a lot less colors to mix, so I'm thankful for that!!). I can't believe Owen will be 3 in a little over a month. Wow.

Happy Valentine's Day
Happy Valentine's Everyone!
We kept Owen home from daycare on Thursday and Friday of last week. Wednesday night was a tough one for him. He had that terrible croup cough. Fortunately that was the only night he had that barky-cough. So we thought he was getting better!
Last night we went to Noodles, Owen's favorite, and he didn't eat as much as he normally does. So we took left overs home. Again, at lunch today, he didn't each much of his leftovers. He was laughing at me and I noticed that he has inherited his daddy's tonsils (and maybe Grandma Dianne's too). They were HUGE! So we went to Urgent Care. We got there at 1 and didn't leave until 3:30!!!!!!! Ugh. That is never fun when you have kids. Owen fell asleep by the time we actually saw the dr. He was so exhausted he didn't wake up during the exam. We had a Terrible dr. too. I would have never guessed she was a Peds dr. That just made the experience worse. Anyway, his swollen tonsils are issues mostly at night. The poor guy is snoring away because his airway is very constricted. He also has a slight ear infection. We just can't get around those this time of year. We went through the same thing with him last year at this time. No fun.
Will is really getting good control of his hands. Today Will even grabbed his toy hanging from his carseat handle! Every once in a while he enjoys sucking on his thumb. First finger wrapped around his little nose and everything. He is laughing more and more. I'm looking forward to the first time he laughs at Owen. He just loves Owen and Owen loves him back. Owen will go over to him and talk and Will just gets a huge smile on his face. Brotherly love can be so sweet! I'm going to milk all that I get now! Like my mom says, "What one doesn't think of, the other will!" Ugh. I'm in for a few surprises in my lifetime, no doubt.

Giggles
Tonight we heard Will laugh for the first time! He was laying on the floor and I was taking his feet up to his cheeks and he laughed. I asked Scott if he heard that and wondered if he'd do it again. Sure enough, he giggled again! I can't wait for him to start laughing at Owen!
It was an interesting night besides the giggle story. First I get to daycare and Randi tells me that Will has a big scratch on his head because Blake decided to drive a toy car on him. She had a bandage on it so I didn't see it until we got home. Now I know why she was making such a big deal out of it - it was a big scrap. Not pretty. Randi said she was surprised he didn't cry more than he did. She felt horrible because it happened when we was making a bottle. First daycare war wound and first giggles all in the same day!
Tonight was swim class. Owen's class had a new teacher. Which we were happy about because we weren't fond of the other one. Guess she won't be teaching the remainder of the sessions! This teacher let them put on their back floaties and away they went, right away! Owen was a swimming machine. When he has his back floatie on, he can swim without Scott holding him. He loves it! Well 10 minutes into the lesson everyone was told to get out of the pool. One of the kids had gotten sick so they had to close it for the remainder of the night. Bummer! Thankfully, Owen didn't seem to notice. We did get a credit for that class, so that's nice.
This weekend we are planning to have Owen pick out stickers and underwear. We are going to attempt to potty train. I'm not sure he's quite ready, but maybe the stickers will motivate him. We'll find out soon enough.
