 The Birthday Boy |
Porter has turned three years old and I can hardly believe it still. Where does the time go. He is officially potty trained now and it has been such an accomplishment for him and us! I have heard boys are tougher to train then girls, and even through I can't compare, I can attest to the difficulties and challenges of training boys. He is agreed to have a Curious George birthday party this year, and we are celebrated with extended family again like the precious birthdays. We went swimming at the kinsmen pool with Uncle Nick, Aunt Jacie, Dexter, Know, Auntie Erin, Josh, Taylor S, Emma, Robbie and Grandma. Of course, Dad, Bailey, and Brody were there too. It was a lot of fun, and Dexter even went ahead of his Mom and raced down the slide, Jacie has to fly down after him. He even jumped off the diving board. He sure has a lot if courage! Porter and Brody just struck to the mini slides off the side of the shallow end, and loved going again and again. After swimming we went back to our house for BBQ Henley's hot dogs, fruit kabobs, veggies and dip, and strawberry mint infused water. Then for desert of course was a Curious George birthday cake I made myself. Porter had a great time playing in the backyard with his cousins, although they are twin still learning to take turns and play nice. We love having family over to visit. Then we we
nt to play at the park because the weather was so nice. It was a wonderful celebration over all!

Porter and Brody both got their first stitches already. Porter got his stitches on November 12, 2012. His accident happened in the bathtub, he was stomping around and pulled my decorative metal soap holder into the tub and stepped right in the sharp edge which split the cease of his big toe. We were quite panicked because it was the first time we dealt with something like that. Craig rushed him to the after hours emergency clinic while I stayed at home and put Brody to bed. Porter got 2 stitches and was such a brave boy. He beamed about getting a juice box and cracker snack from the nurses. Brody's happened May 24, 2013. Brody's stitches were a result of Porter's aggressive behaviour as they were bouncing on my bed and Porter pushed Brody off my bed and he hit his eyebrow on the corner of my dresser. It was durning the day so Craig was at work and so I took Porter to the neighbours then drove Brody to the walk in doctor and he got 1 stitch. He handled it pretty well considering they had to put a drape over his face. He didn't like that much. We have taken extra precaution since those accidents and hope it can be prevented in the future. Our bedside dressers are dangerous because the first incidence was when Brody was 1 and he took a tumble off my bed as he was trying to climb and he hit his mouth on the corner, cutting his lip and bending his front tooth back, it was quite crooked for a lot time, but has finally straightened out! I decided to put pool noodles over the corners of the dressers to avoid any incidents in the future! Brody has a nice scar by
his eyebrow now, which makes him look tough.
Well half the summer if 2013 was great! The other half was awful and devastating! Stay tuned for more on my next post....
