The Next VAN GOGH!
Well...maybe not van gogh but this momma is very proud of her baby's hard work....even though the hard work only lasted a minute or so! I made a big deal about his work so he seemed very proud of the work he had done!
I sure hope he likes art as he gets older!!! Speaking of...my fb friends have already heard this but I will tell it for those of you that aren't my fb friends AND so I will remember! Life with Trigger is fast and interesting...he keeps you on your toes and you can NOT turn your back on him for even a second...LITERALLY!!!! So...when I pick him up from Liz, I usually get a run down on what he's done during the day. The conversation usually starts with "He had to do a little corner time" or "He didn't have to do corner time today"...sooo...that right there should tell you what we are dealing with. Well...Im just going to tell you about Thursday and Friday.
Thursday: Liz tells me that he had to do a little corner time. While laughing, I ask, "for what?" So she starts by telling me that she took him outside to play because its a beautiful day. Of course when it was time to go inside for lunch, he threw a royal fit. Liz gave in and let him eat out in their courtyard area. It's right by the pool (no, this doesn't involve him falling...which I am sure will happen soon enough) but it's all fenced in so that he can't reach the pool. Liz was letting him run around and he would come get a bite every few seconds. He then noticed a miniature bird bath that Liz had in her flower bed. He starting playing in it and touching the water. Liz told him NO several times...getting louder each time. OF COURSE, he didn't listen...or actually, he did listen but chose not to obey because he looked right at her and splashed the water as hard as he could. Liz popped him on his bottom and told him to find a corner. And he knows how to find a corner...she counted to 30 (I count to 60...but she's a grandmother..so 30 is it for her). She said when she got to 30, he turned around and went about his business without her telling him he could come out or anything...I mean, can he really have heard it that much to know that 30 or 60 is it and you can go play. So that was the corner time for that day. After she finished that story, she said, "oh and I have some pictures to show you." I go over to her computer and see my child with a red stripe of paint on his face. She began to tell yet another story about my precious child. They have been doing some remodeling at their house. The painter had put his paintbrush in the half bath before he left. Liz was writing a check and talking to the painter when she realized that Trigger was quiet. GUESS WHAT HE WAS DOING? Yep, he had the paintbrush and painted the cabinents, his hands, and his face.
FRIDAY: Liz said that Trigger did not have to do any corner time...not sure how he managed that...guess he used those dimples! Liz sat him down in the playroom (this is one of the rooms that was just repainted-walls and doors and recarpeted). She gave him some crayons because his speech therapist said he needed to be coloring more. She talked to Trigger about how we only color on paper....haha. She turned her back for a SECOND (remember how I said you can't do that with him) and he colored all over the FRESHLY painted walls and door. Sorry, Izzy! And, somehow on this day, he locked himself in the bathroom with no light on. Do you think he was scared or even made a peep? NOPE...Liz opened the door and he was just standing there. And that, folks, are just TWO days with Trigger...and those are just the highlights! We are just hoping and praying that he doesn't get kicked out of his grandparents' houses....wouldn't that be so SAD!?!?!

A little bit about me....
Well...I went to the doctor (the best OB...dr. harper) today. He told me that it was time...time to go home for awhile. 10 days to be exact. I will not be working for 10 days (really only 6 work days). My blood pressure is actually looking good but we've upped my medicine twice (doubled it from my starting dose) in this last month. He said everyone's blood pressure increases between 26-28 weeks. He is trying to prevent a big increase in my bp. I didn't get much of a chance to ask many questions bc he had to rush off to the hospital. However, I know he wouldn't send me home unless he felt it was necessary! Hopefully this will take a little stress away.
I will go back on March 23rd to talk with Dr. Harper about my BP. At that time, we will reevaluate whether I need to continue at home OR go back to work. In the meantime, I'm going to rest, relax, and take my bp all the time! Oh and for those of you that don't know...I am 26 weeks today!
I will leave you with some great pictures of ME!
We had our Trike-a-thon last Friday to raise money for St. Jude. All of our Pre-K children brought their trikes/bikes and we rode and rode and rode some more. I had to repair a few chains...3 to be exact!!!! I was pretty impressed with myself and think I will be ready for two little boy bikes!!!
AND THE BEST PART...we raised 2,700 dollars for St. Jude!

What a beautiful day the LORD has made!
Last Sunday, Matt and I took Trigger to Lincoln Parish Park. Trigger loved swinging and sliding. But, mostly, he just LOVED being outside running around. He did like watching the other children too!
We took him down to the water to look for the ducks OR if you ask Trigger the "kack, kacks"...isn't that PRECIOUS!
This picture shows my huge belly and Trigger waving "bye, bye" to the ducks.
Now he's blowing kisses to them.
Oh...and Trigger did NOT like the "fall zone" which happens to be SAND there...he fell at one point and cried because he didn't want to put his hands in it to get up...he wanted his momma to come help him BUT GUESS WHAT? This momma isn't playing into that issue! He's gonna have to get over his hatred of sand! Sooo...we just watched him figure it out. and he did figure it out...here he is getting up WITHOUT using his hands. It was quite humorous!

I LOVE THIS...
I am amazed at this story. I found this blog and this families story a while back but had forgotten about it until my sweet husband posted it on FB. I am so glad he did...this is so amazing for anyone to watch but definitely speaks to people that have had a miscarriage or stillbirth. Please Watch this video and listen to this song.

Sadie's 1st Birthday
My cousin, Faith, has a little girl, Sadie. Sadie had her first birthday party this last weekend. Trigger had alot of fun exploring another house which meant that this momma was exhausted by the time we left! :) Oh how I love my busy boy! Here a few pictures from the party.
The Birthday Girl
Trigger and Sydney...I think they were fighting over something...but that happens all the time. I think these two are so cute together and I hope they stay really close!
This is what Trigger does when he doesn't know where something is or doesn't know how to do something...very cute!
Eating cake with Izzy
My Aunt Teresa, Sadie, Faith, and Meme
And, we attempted to get one of the three children but that didn't work out so well...so of course I just picked the one where my child was looking and smiling. Ha!
Happy Birthday, Sadie!!

again...
I'm sorry but I'm posting bathtub pictures again....he just really loves bathtime so I have been taking alot of pictures. I would love to fill the tub with bubble bath to take some really cute pictures but his ezcema would not be happy with me if I did that!
And, what cracks us up is that recently Trigger loves to clean...like he will take his hand and dip it in the water and then wipe it all over the walls of the bathtub...it's really rather cute!
