Back to school and so much more


So, I can't believe it, but it's that time again...Back to school. Last year at this time I was preparing for our new addition and scared out of my mind to send my little princess off to Kindergarten. The year flew by and before I knew it she was graduating. Now here we are again, only this time things are a little diffrent. Instead of preparing for a new addition we are getting ready for him to turn 1. And instead of having to explain all the diffrent parts of school she's telling me how it's going to be. She was so excited and nervous all at the same time. She's so excited for the simplest of things like eating lunch at school and going all day long...even though she had no clue how long "all day" really was. We are coming up on the 2nd week of school and so far so good. She loves it. Her teacher is great! She's happy to see the few familiar faces that were in her class last year. She's having a little bit of a difficult time adjusting to eating breakfast earlier than normal and eating lunch later than normal, but it's still very new. She's very tired when she gets home and needs to eat ASAP or she'll "starve to death". I'm very proud of her!

Summer fun!!!


We have been having a blast since CeJae has got better and since the rain has finally stopped. I have to give full credit to our fabulous new neighborhood and the kids on it. There's no way my kids would be having so much fun if we wouldn't of moved out of those dreadful townhouses. Cierra and CeJae have made so many great new friends. The last few days have been getting hot and so they have been living in their swimming suites, running through the sprinklers and then two of the neighbor girls have a fun slide/swimming pool that all the kids love. Well, today Chad decided that poor little Cain was getting left out. He went and got one of the cheapest little blow up pools he could find and set it up for him. He filled it part way up with cold water and then added straight hot water to it. He wanted to be able to put him right in it and not have to wait for the sun to warm it up. We haven't bought Cain swim trunks yet because we haven't made any kind of plans to go to the water park, so we decided that for the meantime we would use CeJae's from last summer (he still fits in them). Surprisingly they fit perfect. I don't' think we'll have to get him a pair. Anyways, Chad put the trunks on him and we took him out and put him in his own little pool. He loved it!!!! It was filled a little too full for him to play on his own (without being held onto), but he still loved it. He splashed and kicked in the water. The entire time he was gabbing away. He had so much fun! Chad and I just laughed the whole time. CeJae showed up and decided that he needed to get in on the fun and jumped in. It was a great time! This is just the start to our fun filled summer and I will be sure to inform you all of our great times.

Our little helper


On Sunday we did our weekly cleaning from top to bottom. That obviously includes the bathrooms. When Chad was downstairs cleaning our bathroom Cierra went to him and said "I want to help". By that time he was nearly done with ours, but was going to be on his way to the upstairs bathroom (the kid's bathroom) so he said that she could help clean her bathroom. She was so excited. Okay, side note. I really appreciated this moment just because I know the day will soon come when it's going to be a horrible fight just to get her to do her chores or help out around the house. I know the day is coming when she's not going to want to be at home with her lame parents and annoying little brothers, so I really took this moment in. He cleaned the bath tub and did the stuff that requires the Clorox bleach and then got the cleaner in the toilet. He then let her take it from there. So the picture is one we will keep and look back at when we are fighting with her to do anything for us.

AMAZING!!!


So, I have this amazing friend Lindsey that is so incredibly crafty I can't even believe it. As most of you know she made Cain the cutest blanket when he was born, and she is the one that made the scrap book calenders with me at Christmas. Well, she's done it again. She decided she wanted to get CeJae something to help him feel better. She asked me what he would like. At that point I had no idea and left it in her hands. She really did out do herself. She made this pillow. It's hard to see from this picture, but it has Lightning McQueen on one side, and then Hudson (the blue car) on the other side. CeJae thinks that this pillow is the coolest thing ever. The day that Lindsey gave it to him he wouldn't put it down, and when he did Cain would crawl to it and snuggle with it. I am hoping that one day when she has a little time she'll make him one too. CeJae has to sleep with it every night, and when ever he lays down to take a nap. He received a ton from the hospital and then his "girl friend" Jill gave him some Batman PJ's and some goodies. Now with this pillow I can officially say he was spoiled...that's okay, any child that has to go through what he's gone through deserves it!

Home finally...

Sorry I didn't post last night. After we got home and we got all settled in, Chad went and did some very much needed grocery shopping. When he got home we put the groceries away and got started on dinner. We ate dinner, cleaned up after dinner and that was pretty much our first day at home. I was off to bed a around 7:00. Everyone else was still awake when I went to bed, but according to Chad, CeJae was right behind me. He said CeJae was so excited to sleep in his bed. He had an okay night. Around 3:00 this morning he came into our room saying his chest was hurting. He was grunting and having trouble breathing. I got him to calm down and he fell asleep with me in bed. Chad was up at 4:00 to go to work and CeJae got up too. He was still complaining of his chest hurting so Chad got him some Motrin and some more Gatorade (we are really pushing the fluids...it helps keep the Pneumonia moving). He was able to get comfortable again and fall back to sleep. He slept until around 8:30 this morning, which is the most he's slept at once since this whole sickness started. We are suppose to limit his activeness just to make sure he doesn't over do it. Even though he's home he's not all better. The x-ray still showed a lot of Pneumonia in his chest and even though his lab work looked remarkably better it's still not normal. We have to be careful for a while longer. He's on a teaspoon and a half of Augmentin twice daily, for 10 days. That is a huge dose for a 3 year old (that's an adult dose). We have to take him into the Dr.'s office this week and then again next week. He is suppose to have another chest x-ray in about 2-3 weeks from now just to make sure it's cleared up. Yesterday while the Dr. was talking to Chad and I about what we need to do and not do with him. Chad said "so in the future as soon as he's complaining of his chest or heart hurting we're going to do an x-ray right?" The Dr.'s response was kind of funny. He said "well #1 I need to listen to mom!" He said "She tried telling us and I didn't listen and that was unacceptable." I am so glad that he realizes that I am not one of those moms that takes her kid in for the tiniest of things. When I say my child is really sick they are, and I do know what I am talking about. We were both very, very irritated with him in the beginning of this whole situation, but I think we are all on the same page, and once again we are comfortable with him treating our children. We still prefer his son, but we understand that we'll have to see him sometimes. I will continue to keep you posted on CeJae, and once again I want to thank everyone for praying for him and I want to thank everyone that has or has even offered to help. We have such wonderful friends and family!

Day #4


Today was a better day, although we limited him to what he could do just as precaution. We didn't want him to have a repeat of yesterday. He's been coughing a ton more today and it is very painful for him. He gets coughing so hard and continuously that he has a hard time breathing. The Dr. didn't order any lab work today or any x-rays, but its all ordered for tomorrow morning. Chad spent the afternoon with him while I went home and got some rest in my own bed :) My dear sweet brother and sister in law watched Cierra and Cain for us. Not only did that allow for me to get some sound rest, it allowed Chad to spend a little one on one with CeJae for more than just an hour. While I was gone he did great and then right before I came back up he got a really bad headache and started to get achy again, so they gave him some more Motrin. That allowed for him to get comfortable enough to fall asleep. When I got back he was asleep, but had a really bad cold sweat thing going on. When he woke up he ate a little dinner and then got to go take his first bath since being admitted. It did him wonders. He had so much fun! So that he could bathe without worrying about his IV they taped it up and put a latex glove with the fingers cut out over it. When he got back to the room after his bath they went to hook him back up to his IV and that's when they discovered that his IV had a kink in the catheter and unfortunately they had to take it out. They called the Dr. to see if they could start the antibiotics orally, so that they could avoid having to give him another IV. The Dr. said he was not ready to be without the IV and that they needed to give him another one. This time it was a little more traumatic for him. Not only did he know what was going to happen, but they had to poke him twice. He had what the nurse called "disappearing veins". He's ate two popsicles since getting his IV and seems to be doing very good. He's in very high spirits this evening. I really hope we get some really good news tomorrow with the labs and the x-rays. We know that the last Protein Reactive test that was done he was a 26 and the normal level is under 1. We have a ways to go with that one. I just want to Thank everyone that has been praying for us and I want to send out a special thank you to Lela Miller for cooking my husband and other two children dinner last night (they said it was delicious) and I want to send a special thank you to Keith, Mandi, and Brandyn for watching Cierra and Cain while I slept. Thank you Jill for the visit, although he was a little out of it he does remember you being here and he loves his Batman. Keep you fingers crossed and the prayers going.

Cute, cute!

I had to share this...I think it's adorable! This is Cain's new found love. He loves to crawl to the garbage bags and play, play!

A better day...or so we thought


First thing this morning CeJae woke up with a fever, slight but still a fever. We immediately gave him some Tylenol. He hates taking Tylenol here because it has no flavor. He nearly throws up every time he has to take it. In fact he would if it wasn't for the method that the nurses and I have created. He takes a small sip of juice and then takes a little medicine. We continue this pattern until the medicine is all gone. It takes a little longer, but at least he's holding it down. The Dr. decided today that he wanted him on a Tylenol/Motrin routine. So with his first dose of Motrin (in combination with Tylenol) he became a whole new child. He played all afternoon. His awesome nurse disconnected his IV and took the oxygen monitor off so that he could go play in the playroom without his IV pole slowing him down. He built foam building blocks up and then crashed through them. He walked a baby in a little stroller up and down the hall. He was smiling, giggling, and even wanted to run. While we were playing a service dog named Saidee showed up and played too. Saidee even shared some candy with him. I think he would of played all day if they would of let him, but the nurses were starting to get concerned about him over doing it and having breathing issues again. So I made him help clean the playroom and we went back to his room. Just as we got back to his room Chad, Cierra and Cain showed up to visit. He was so excited when he saw that they brought him balloons. I think that made his day. While they were here he continued to play. He was trying so hard to jump on his bed and was sitting on his dad thinking he was holding him down. It was cute! Before his dad, sister and brother left he fell asleep. He woke up a little over an hour ago and needed to go pee. When I picked him up to take him to the bathroom he was burning up again. I went and got the nurse and she took his temp. This time it was 102.7. We did our Tylenol routine and gave it an hour and just checked the temp again. This time it was 102.9. We gave him some Motrin and in another hour if it's not down then the nurse is going to call the Dr. I'm not sure what the next step would be, but I have to say I am starting to feel very discouraged. I thought he was doing better because of his wonderful day, but it's turning into not such a good night. So obviously I doubt were going home tomorrow either. Dang it!

So frustrating!

As many of you know CeJae has been fighting fever, vomiting and diarrhea since early Sunday morning. The thing that absolutely broke my heart was that he would grab his chest and say "heart hurts". Thinking that this was the flu bug that has been going around I let it go for a few days, documenting the temps and counting the trips to the bathroom. Well, finally on Tuesday morning when he woke up with a raging 103.7 temperature I decided to call the Dr. and get an appointment for that day. Unfortunately they were not able to see him until 5:15 that evening so we battled the fevers all through the day. When 5:15 rolled around we had him at the Dr. That particular day my pediatrician had a student seeing patients with him. First the student came in and looked him over. After the student gave me his opinions of what was or could be wrong. He then went and got the Dr. When he came in he literally looked in his eyes, pushed on his stomach, checked his ears,listened to his lungs and said they were crystal clear. He looked in his throat and saw that it was red and said " oh, this is viral. Let it run it's course and if he's not better in a full week ( next Tuesday) then I would like to see him again. He then asked me how I was taking his temperatures. I told him I used a oral thermometer and I had him take it orally. He looked at me and said " at this age?" I said, yes. He then informed me that children at this age should not be getting their temperatures taken' orally. They are too young to keep it under their tongues and you get a wrong reading. Just to clarify CeJae does know how to take a temperature orally and does it very well. He knows to keep it under his tongue and has no issue with it. I simply said okay and we left. I was so incredibly dissatisfied I called my grandmother, my sister in law and many friends asking for advice. Everyone said the same thing...you know your son and you know how he acts when he's sick weather it be a simple cold or something bigger. Everything about this illness was telling me that it wasn't just a viral "thing" and that I needed a second opinion. I decided after talking with Chad that when he wakes up in the middle of the night with his raging fever I would then load him up and take him to the ER. Well, to my surprise that night he slept through the night and woke up at 5:00 in the morning with a minor fever of 99.7 degrees. He seemed better throughout the day and even ate a little and kept it down. Just when I started second guessing myself he spiked another fever and was in a ball on our couch crying his eyes out that his heart hurt. This is when we decided that we absolutely need a second opinion. We left for the ER. When we got to the ER they did all the normal vitals including an oxygen level which was 92 (borderline) after they took the chest x-ray that showed all but a little spot at the bottom of his right lobe is full of fluid. They instantly got IV antibiotics and fluids going and admitted him. He's improved a little today. He's no longer running a fever, but he's not peeing like they would like. He's still grunting and working to breath. They took another chest x-ray this morning and when comparing it to the one from last night it actually shows the Pneumonia is progressing down and into the left lobe. I woke this morning thinking that he's been on antibiotics for a few hours and truly thought that we'd be going home today. No such luck! According to the Dr. he's working to hard to breath and is thinking most likely the earliest he'll be going home is Saturday. :( He doesn't like the hospital and is constantly saying he wants to go home. Hopefully soon as all I can say :(

crawling stairs...


So my little Cain has decided that he is no longer a little baby. He has decided he's going to be a "big kid" like his older siblings. I was in the kitchen doing something and went to check on Cain. Him being mobile I constantly worry about him falling down the stairs ( we have not been able to find a baby gate that goes wide enough to fit across the stairs opening). When I walked around the corner I found this (pic). He just stood there and smiled at me. For anyone that know Cain, he is a bouncy baby and loves to bounce weather being held, in the jumper or apparently climbing up the stairs, because he was bouncing too. He's adorable and I can't believe that he's getting so big so fast. Its bitter sweet...I wish he could just stay my little baby for a little longer, but that doesn't seem to be in his plans.

Graduation day....


So today was the day. Cierra graduated Kindergarten. Her teacher Mrs. Spiker put together a really nice ceremony and gave each child a keepsake book that is AMAZING!!! Each book has over 100 pages in it and has pictures from each party and each field trip. It's also loaded with school work that was done throughout the year. It's so neat to see how much she has progressed since the beginning of the year. Cierra has learned so much this last year. I give full credit to Mrs. Spiker and I wonder how far she would be if she would of had a diffrent teacher. As you can tell Cierra and myself love Mrs. Spiker and wished she could follow Cierra through her school years. Cierra is looking forward to first grade, but I have to say I am so excited for the summer. We have lots planned and my goal is to continue to work on all the things that she learned this year so when she does start school again her brain is ready.

End of the year party


Cierra's Kindergarten year is coming to a quick end. Today was her "End of the year party". I have to say that Jill Dalton out did herself. She is responsible for the planning and putting together of this party. She decided she was going to make it not only fun, but also educational. She did an Idaho cowboy theme. She had 4 stations with the one being panning for gold where each child got to pan for gold and then take there very own "Gold" (fools gold) home with them along with some edible fools gold bubblegum. They also got to make a necklace with beads and a real arrow head. Third she had a "shoot em' up" game. They each got to shoot rubber bands at targets and then got an Idaho potato (the candy bar). Fourth they got to ride with a miniature pony named Sam. Jill's mother and father are from Gooding and they were kind enough to bring Sam to Pocatello for the class to get rides with. After all that fun they got to have a hot dog, chips, cupcake, candy and either lemonade or root beer for a snack. It was so much fun. I have so many pictures and I really had a hard time choosing which to post, but in the end I have chose a picture of Cierra and her two friends Oakley and Molly making their necklaces with their cute little hat and bandannas on. Tomorrow is graduation so there will be more to come.

What a mess of a mom....


On mothers day my sweet husband let me attempt to sleep in. I say attempt because my two oldest children were so excited for me to open my presents that they were constantly coming into my room. They would wake me up by saying "Happy Mothers Day mom". Very cute I know, but yes a little annoying when I am trying to sleep. Finally, I got up and went right upstairs. I hadn't even brushed my hair and there sits my entire family on the couch waiting for me. Cierra had her backpack in hand with my presents inside of it. They wanted me to open the one that they got to help their dad pick out. I first read the card from Cierra and CeJae ( I must say very cute!) I then opened the card from Chad and that's when it all started...the water works. The card was very beautiful. They always are from him. Anyways, I then got myself together and opened the present. It was a pink straight iron for my hair. Pink thanks to Cierra and her awareness to the support of breast cancer. I then opened the present that Cierra made for me at school. It was the cutest little homemade "coffee mug" filled with Hershey kisses and Hershey hugs. It had a little saying with it that just put me over the edge. I still can't believe how much of a mess I was. It's those sweet little things that mean so much to me. I would of been happy with just the sweet cards and amazing mug. There are times when I get so overwhelmed with being a mom, but I have to say the best thing in my life is my 3 sweet children and my amazing husband.

Yummmy!!!!!






The other day when we went to the bank they asked the normal question "how many suckers would you like?" I said 2 even though Cierra was at school and it was just CeJae and Cain with us. When we got home and things were settled down we laid Cain on the floor and gave him his very own sucker. Oh my goodness, I cannot tell you how much he LOVED it. He was so funny, he just laid there with both hands on the stick putting it in and out of his mouth. When he pulled it of his mouth he would just sit and stare at it. It was almost like he had to look at what was so yummmy. I think it's safe to say Cain likes his sugar!

Sick baby boy....

Little Mr. Cain has been sick lately. I thought as of yesterday (after I gave him some Ibuprofen) that he was improving. He slept through the night (for the most part) and woke up in a very happy mood. He played on the floor by himself and acted like he was just fine. Well this afternoon after we got home from picking Cierra up from school and going to the grocery store, I took him out of his car seat and laid him on the floor. He played with his bottle for a little bit and that's when I noticed that his hands and especially his little fingertips were white. When I looked at him a little closer I noticed that not only was his hands blue, but so was his feet and from his cheeks down to his chin. I thought "okay, he might be cold". I decided to give him a bath in hopes that he would warm up and get his color back. While he was in the bath tub Chad and I realized that his whole body was very blotchy, and his lips were getting even more blue. I immediately got him out of the tub and put him in warm PJ's, wrapped him up in a warm blanket and called the doctor. well, of course they wanted to see him a.s.a.p. and we were on our way.
When we first got there the Dr. took his temp and checked to see what his o2 stats were. He had a temperature of 102 degrees and his oxygen level was 92. The Dr. said that 92 is good, but something that we should watch. He checked his ears and listened to his lungs...they looked good, and sounded good. Unfortunately, the Dr. had no explanation for why he is so sick, but did say that there is a possibility that it could be a reaction form the shots he received Monday. Before we left the office the nurse gave him 3/4 of a teaspoon of Tylenol and Ibuprofen in hopes that his temp would lower and his extremities would regain their color. After our trip to the office and we got home he was much improved. He was so tired that he was ready for bed at 7:30. Well, here it is 10:52 and I am writing this blog with my right hand and holding Mr. Cain with my left. I am not sure if he just doesn't feel good or he just wants to be held. I just hope that he feels better real fast.

I hear all these scary stories about babies and SIDS. With each one of my children I have had that fear in the back of my mind from the day I bring them home up until they are about a year. I am one of those moms that in the morning when I realize that my baby has slept through the night, my heart starts pounding and I have to run and check on them. I always check on them before I go to bed as well. The other night I went and checked on Cierra and CeJae and of course they were just fine. I then went into Cain's room and found him asleep like this (above picture) I could hear him breathing which made me feel a little better, but really this scares me. I didn't end up moving him or anything for fear that he would wake up and want to stay awake, but I laid in bed forever that night listening to him breath over the baby monitor. Silly boy or silly mom...I don't know which.

Alone time with sister....


I was able to snap this photo from the landing of our stairs. Cierra is being a little camera shy, but Cain is more than willing (like always).
Until we are able to get our other couch back from my Brother the kids have been using our Family room as their room to watch their movies. Tonight Cierra asked to watch Tinker bell. Chad went down and turned it on for her. While they were down there getting the movie started Cain decided that he wanted to watch it too. Cierra set up his little chair for him and Chad took him down. I was so surprised, Cain stayed with just Cierra for almost an hour. I think it's great that even though he's only 6 months old he already enjoys "alone" time with his big sister.

Little miss big girl


I think it's so amazing how much Cierra has grown into a little girl in the last few months. School has certainly broke her out of her shell. She's become so sociable and friendly. She still tends to be a little shy, but she will talk to someone (even if she doesn't know them) when they address her. At the beginning of the year I had to walk her to her door and wait until her teacher opened the door and she walked into her class. Well here we are almost at the end of her Kindergarten year and we have come so far. Now we have to be to school early just so she can go play on the play ground. The bigger kids are out playing for their lunch recess. She has no problem going and playing with her friends or just by herself. She loves it. I sometimes drive off and then there are the times I stay and just watch her. She seems so little to be out on that play ground playing with kids that are way bigger than her. She seems small to me, but to her she is just as big as any other kid out there.

Mopping first thing in the morning

So, I don't know how many other kids do this (I'm sure a lot), but my little CeJae is very notorious for it. While I am in the shower in the morning's he thinks he needs a drink and instead of waiting for me to get a chance to pour him some juice or milk he decides he's going to attempt to be a big boy and pour it himself. Well, he misses the cup every time and instead of coming and telling me he tries his hardest to clean it up himself (not because he's doing me a favor, but to save his own tail). It's great that he tries, but he uses my dry cloth that is usually hanging on the handle of the stove and just wipes (very lightly). By the time I get to it has already started to dry and is one huge mess because by wiping lightly he just smears it all around. So anyway this morning when I came up stairs for the first time I walk into my kitchen over by my sink and my feet are wet and sticking to my floor. Well, all I have to say is I am so glad I invested in one of those little shark steam cleaners. It truly is awesome and saves my back from a ton of aches. I don't exactly enjoy cleaning my floors in the wee hours of the morning, but it would be so much worse if I didn't have this handy little gadget. I want my little one to be independent and I guess until he is able to "hit" the cup I'll be putting my little steamer to great use.

All moved in...


It's official we are moved...YAY!!! I am so happy to be in our new, bigger place. The move went very well and I am happy to say nothing was broke or lost in our transport except a locking nut to Cierra and CeJae's bunk beds. I worried all day yesterday how the night would go because really not one of my kids know anything except the old place. I was pleasantly surprised. Cain only got up once and CeJae only woke up once for a few seconds. Cierra was done for and she crashed without being heard from. Everyone woke up in excellent moods (except mom & dad). Chad and I are very exhausted and sore. Even my hands hurt. We have been taking it pretty easy today. Chad was able to get the washer and dryer hooked up and I just unpacked a few more boxes and got my Kitchen organized the way I want it. I would have to say one of the best things about our new place is the view from our back deck. It is amazing. we are able to see all of downtown Pocatello and quite a bit of Chubbuck. The photo above is one I took this morning, but honestly it doesn't do it justice. I think it's absolutely beautiful at night with all the lights glowing below. I know this was a good choice for us and I know that we are going to love it here.

So, I think I'm gonna pack him up and ship him out....any takers?

Milestones...


Holy, can we say reaching our milestones today? First it was the Banana, and now scooting across the floor. This afternoon while Cierra was at her friends house playing and CeJae was sleeping on the couch, Chad and I were sitting on the couch reading the newspaper. Cain was in the middle of the living room floor playing with his blankets...or so we thought. Neither one of us was paying attention and well he got our attention real fast. There Cain was at the feet of Chad playing with his shoes. We couldn't believe it! He hasn't been working on trying to scoot at all, so to have him do it all on his own in no time...It was amazing! I think the best part is how he does it. He doesn't do the normal "army crawl" or even a normal scoot. He puts his head on the floor and his butt as high in the air as he can get it and then kicks off the floor with his feet. It's the cutest thing ever. Once again he's such a big boy all of a sudden.

bites of food....

Our little Cain is getting so big, so fast. It's that time already. He's been eating baby food for awhile now and is doing really well with it, but today we decided to take it a step further. He ate his first whole Banana today. He did really well. I wasn't sure how he would do with the texture or the chewing factor, but surprisingly he did excellent. He chewed when he was suppose to and made sure that he got it down to small enough pieces to swallow without gagging. I can't believe that he's already six months and is ready to eat like a big boy.

Moving day is coming

As you all know we are moving next Saturday. We have been doing the majority of our packing at night, after all the kids are in bed. That makes for some intresting comments in the morning. Last night Chad and I packed up all the pictures on the wall, the curtins, all the movies and all the video games and video game equipment. This morning when CeJae woke up he came down stairs and and the first thing he said was "what happened?" while he was saying that he was pointing to where the curtins once were located. I told him we packed them and he was okay, but then when he started looking around and noticing that the curtins wern't the only things missing he was very curious. "What happened mom? Where's pictures, mom?" The most simple things in life can make little one's feel so at home or in our case make them feel as though something just isn't right.

"Pee on water"


I think its amazing how little one's that have been talking for awhile can still make the simplest of things sound so not right. The other day we were at the store and Cierra asked if she could pick out a box of Capri Sun's. I said yes and she chose the Raging water flavors. Well when we got home CeJae came up to Chad and I in the kitchen and kept asking for something. Neither one of us could understand him or figure out what he was asking for. We called Cierra in to see if she could make out what he was saying and in no time she said "he's saying Capri Water" well when Chad and I listened we finally heard "Pee on water". Well needless to say it's stuck and every time he asks for one it's "Pee on water". These are the little things that we'll remember forever!
