Wee Wilson Tales

After Jax's surgery last week, we stopped by John's office because he needed to make some calls and send some emails before he could take us home. We were in the car for about an hour!!!! Anyway, at some point we rolled down the windows and I started pointing to things....I'm sure other parents play this game...I call it DISTRACTION..."Jax, what is that?"..."Yes, trees!"..."How many trees do you see? Can you count them?"....and so on! So at some point I ran out of distractors, and Jax pointed over at the handicap parking sign and said "Turtle." It took me a minute to see what he was referring to, and then I got so tickled. I could see why he would say that...he was assimilating it to the closest thing in his head and came up with turtle by looking at the shapes. I laughed and told him, "It's not a turtle Jax, but they do certainly travel at the same speed as turtles." So it got me to thinking about Jax's very specia...

We hit the slopes in Jackson Hole last Thursday! It was great. We flew out at 6:00 am and were on the slopes by 2:00 that day. Karen and Brandon had the worst luck ever. Their flight was canceled because their plane was broken. Then they were delayed for 2 hours at Little Rock. It was 11:00 pm before they made it to Jackson Hole. I got slightly addicted to the Twilight series when I picked up the book at the airport. I ended up reading the whole series during spring break!! Anyway, we all stayed at the Snow King Resort , and it was fabulous to just walk out the back door and ski. The slopes were fun, but they were either pretty steep or pretty curvy. I still loved it though, and I think we all had a great time. John and I haven't skied since we went to Vancouver in December 2005!!! So I was glad that it didn't take long to pick it back up. We also got to snow tube. All 4 of us went down together and held each others tubes! We tried to spin all the way down. It was crazy. We als...

Jax also had his tubes put in his ears and his adenoids removed last Wednesday. It was so difficult when they took him, and he was crying for us!! But he was only back there for about 20 minutes before we were with him again. When he woke up, it was awful!!! He was so confused and mad and STRONG!!! I was so glad when that anesthesia wore off. He's really done great with his recovery. He was back to playing and being himself in no time. But honestly, he's still having a little pain with his recovery even now. Ronin is quite the adventurer these days. He can crawl!!! He will take 2 crawls forward and then the rest is backwards. When he doesn't crawl, he'll scoot around the room. He can get wherever he wants to go now! He learned this week (spring break) to sleep without being swaddled!!! Yay ! And he is still the best sleeper!! He will sleep 12 or 13 hours at night on an average. It's hard to believe he is 6 months old now!!! He is eating stage 2 baby food, biter bi...

Well, we got up bright and early today for Jax's surgery (tubes in ears and adenoids removed). I hate that he has to do this!!! But I know that it will be better than all of these ear infections that he has had!
