an actual dream of Joels told to me by his daddy.

Well, I don't think I should tell you what it was about.

Why?

Because it is about Uncle Donny

what happened with Uncle Donny?

IT begins with the 'v' word

What V word?

VO

VO what?

Violent daddy

Ohhh.. What happened?

Well, it also has the G word in it

what's the G word?

Guns.. Uncle Donny was giving us guns to kill the bad werewolfs. but first we practiced on guys that were wearing were wolf masks.

that sounds scary

it was a little bit

anything else?

Thats' the whole dream

ok

my most awesomely wonderful young son has lost yet another tooth. Suprising mommy yet again; we were at Josh and Wendy's house for a barbecue when his little tooth was out and he was grining the grin of real superstars. I again broke out in tears (will this ever get easier?) My little boy has two teeth that are gone right there on his bottom jaw; smackdab in the middle! My beautiful son is growing up so quickly.

one tooth gone.. one new tooth coming in.. annd.. another tooth loose! oh wow.. my growing boy!

Joel has been having alot of issues lately; so the television is banned for awhile. I want to see an obedient, happy child and the tv is not conducive this child that i want. He is sitting on the green chair because of several disobedience infractions. Backtalking, running to daddy when he was in trouble for backtalking, throwing a cracker on the floor twice. He will be able to get up before the memorial tonight.just kidding!

Hes a good boy usually.. hes just not feeling his best today. Hopefully we will se a attitude improvement later today.

Big news! Joel lost his first tooth! It was so surreal. I was actually quite emotional which I didn't excpect to be. Joel and Luke ran down the stairs saying that the tooth was out and I was just hugging him and crying and he said"what's wrong mommy?'" and i said.. your just getting to be such a big boy. I can't believe that my little boy lost his firs tooth. It's kind of a big deal!

Last night Joel was under the weather. He kept moaning and finally I got him up and had him take some pepto.. Brian held him and rocked him for about a half hour and we finally got him back to sleep. I hope that hes' feeling better today. I hate for him to feel so sick and puny!

Two days ago he did read his first book.. He read about ten of a littel workbook which had thirty word stories . He did really great! I am so proud of him! I think it is time to teach him the Ps. verse and he can have his "learn to read " party!
