No way out.....


Dylan's sweet little hand!
Mommy holding hands and poking the hanger!
Good times.....Good times.....

Dylan freaking out, but Mommy still acting like she knows what she is doing!
20 minutes has now past!
The photographer for these pictures is the amazing Dominick!

Little Dylan loves getting into mischief! So....yesterday Dominick runs in and says, "This is terrible! I don't have a baby brother anymore because he locked himself in the bathroom forever!!" I calmed Dominick down and then tried to talk through the door at the panicked victim. "MA MA MA MMA.....MAMAMAMAMAMA." This is all he would say.
I did my best "don't freak out" voice and told him to turn the button on the door. He fittled with it for a while then I heard the flushing of the toilet multiple times. He didn't seemed too very concerned.
After about 15 minutes of shoving a hanger into a hole, I decided I should probably call for back up. Relieved to hear that Dad was already on his way I began to relax a little. This is the very moment Dylan decided the bathroom was just not that much fun! He began to scream and cry. I continued to act like I knew what I was doing with the hanger when a little hand reached out of the bottom of the door. I held his little fingers and told him he would be okay. They were pouring with tears. (Or was is toilet water???)
Finally Shawn arrived and ended up taking off the door handle. Shawn and I both noted this morning that Dylan has not gone near any bathrooms since yesterday evening. Did the silly boy learn his lesson?????


On a different note, some of you know that Dylan has had issues with allergies. (exczema, eggs, etc.) He had to go to a lab today and get his blood drawn. Two very large viles might I add. The greatest lady took his blood! She was Aunt Jemima on speed and both the boys just loved her. She called Dominick, Dr. Dominick and let him help with the process. Dylan watched the needle go in his arm and sat really still while she drained half the blood in his body. She was so fun to watch sing and dance, I must admit I was entertained as well:) I love people who really know how to work with children. What a Godsend! I wish she were a photographer, pediadentist, babysitter, Sunday school teacher, etc......You get the picture!!! Anyway, I will keep you updated on the results:)
Have an awesome weekend and make sure you watch your children more carefully than I seem too:)

From the mouth's of babes......


We are at the dinner table and Shawn is being a little short:) Dominick leans over and loudly whispers to me, "I don't think Daddy had a nap today, he sure is acting ugly." Shawn then pretends not to hear and looks over at Dylan. Dylan looks at Shawn and says, "What?" Wow Dad! I guess Dom wasn't the only one who noticed:)

Our little boy turned four......

Loved?.. Yes! Spoiled?.... No! Your child is not spoiled if you enjoy him and he enjoys life...no matter what the experts say:)

We had a great time with family and friends for Dominick's Little Einstein party. We then packed up and headed to The Lodge for an overnight stay. We had a wonderful time of fellowship. Here are a few highlights.

Great Wolf........where our wildness didn't matter:)......Oh by the way I am 4!



Different personalities evident here!!!! Oh guys, did I mention I was 4?????


.....Happy birthday to me. ....Just in case you didn't know.....I am 4:)

Four years ago I held this tiny boy in my hands for the first time.......

We are so amazed how much Dominick is growing into a boy. No longer a child he thinks, acts, and behaves so independently. He is as smart as can be and he does have the heart of an angel. What an amazing journey these last four years have been......Happy Birthday big boy:)
