After all the drama in the morning, we still decided to go to Will's birthday party, which was at the little gym.

Here we are ready to go...
And tada - other than the bandage, you would have never known anything was wrong with him...
Poor little chicken wing...
Running around like a mad man...

Eating cake... We have a follow appointment with the pediatrician today to make sure it is going to heal ok. Every single finger on his right hand has blistered up from the burns. But he is a very strong little boy and I'm sure everything wil turn out ok!!

1st Emergency room visit

Well, we experienced our first trip to the emergency room Sunday morning. I was getting ready to straighten my hair for a trip up to the mall, when Mr. Helpful want to help me by handing me my flat iron, by grabbing the hot end!!

Here we are at the emergency room waiting to be released, all bandaged up and feeling pretty good from the tylenol with codene... (He missed his mouth with the lolipop)
Telling me that he has a booboo...

Just hanging out with dad...

I had a dentist appointment, so while RJ was making us all dinner, Drew got to hang out with Bapa...

(forgot to post these pictures) last weekend it was cold enough for a fire again, so Drew helped Rj go down and get some wood. He doesn't get to wear this coat and hat very often and luckily it still fits from last year...
Getting ready to help dad build a fire...

Well another semester at the Little Gym is over. There was an awards ceremony like last time, and Grammy and Great Grandma Grundish came to watch him.

He was totally not into being there at first...
Grabbing onto Grammy, wanting to be picked up...
Still thinking about participating, but not quite there yet...
Finally Drew joined in. For next semester, I am going to move back to the Saturday class. He does so much better, I think because he is awake and ready for the day. Wednesday nights he is tired and hungry!

Will walking across the beam...
Will performing his front roll on the beam - WOW!!
Drew walking across the beam- forget the front roll!!
Jumping off the mat...
Jumping again...

Drew likes flipping over the bar...
Showing us he can do it on his own...
Mom trying to help...

Drew's favorite part of class is playing with the balls... He grabs his and takes off with it...
Oh yeah, second favorite part of class - BUBBLES!!
Drew getting his award during the ceremony. I couldn't believe he walked up there by himself...
Tada, Drew with his award...
Excited about getting his award...

While we were cleaning out the closets, Drew found Nana Carole's old riding hat, which he loves wearing around the house...
Checking himself out in the mirror...

Saturday night Kelley, Jodi and Joanna came over to play wii. Drew had a great time with Will and Weston over.

RJ and Kelley playing golf...

Rainie came over to play for a bit. We played on the new swingset and then we went for a walk down the street to see the horsey. Then it was time to go home so Drew gave her a great big hug...
One last pose, he is getting good at saying "cheese"
Little man had to sit in time out this afternoon for not listening...

21 month old baby!!

Here is our big old 21 month old! - who looks 3!!
It was cool enough to have a fire in the fireplace...
He is saying "cheeeeeeesssssssse" ...

Happy New Year!!

So here we are, 2008! Another year has flown by. We had a super fun New Year's party, with a bonfire, fireworks, lots of food and spirits, and good friends.

My parents came over to pick up Drew, so we sat out at the fire for a few minutes relaxing, waiting for everyone to show up.
