March 7

We have two healthy boys again! Eli has spent the last 3 days with Mimi .. And now he's home and reunited with Sammy. 

We celebrated tonight with a trip to mcdonalds for chicken mcnuggets and fries and the play place. My poor sheltered children...they were so impressed with the fountain drinks and watching me fill up the cups. Neither boys like pop, I have tried. And I guess we don't go out to fast food places very often because they both acted like they had never seen anything like it. The gold standard mcdonalds orange drink was a hit. 

Eli made a little friend named Carson in the play area. He was actually a little outgoing and not all shy like he usually is. 

Carson convinced him he could go play without his mommy holding his hand. I can't wait until he goes to preschool and learns to become a little more independent. A little less of a momma's boy. However he pooped his pants today again, like every day ... and preschool doesn't do diapers. Or pull ups. Or poopy underwear. Or pooping on the floor. So I hope they let him in. We got 6 months to get this right Eli. 

Sammy Sam got to be an only child for a few days. He got new shoes

and he is so impressed with his "shuuush". He walked around Easton like a little stud. 

He got to play with all the good toys for a few days, jump on Eli's bed, even use the iPad. 

Crazy big brother is back Sammy Sam. You can now resume your role as little brother. You are awfully good at it.
