Baby Milestone

Elijah has always been a tiny guy. He has been in the 0% for his weight since he was 9 months old. At his fifteen month well-child, the doctor put him on Pediasure. Now, after a month and a half, and at 16 months, 2 weeks old, he has finally made it to 20lbs, 0 oz. He is still bounding with energy, climbing everything like a monkey and out running everyone. His new favorite thing to do is climb out the doggy door to the backyard and run off to play with Art and Izzy. I now keep the door closed unless he is asleep, in his highchair, or we are actually playing outside.

First Day of School

My boys are back in School. For the most part, they are excited to get back with their friends. Ben is not happy about the work part. Justin is in 3rd grade, Ben is 2nd grade, and Adam is 1st grade. Scott is sad that he could not start school today, but he will be going to preschool at the same elementary school in 2 weeks. His class starts Sept. 8th. He will be going Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday for 2 hours a day. He can't wait. He now starts every sentence he says with "I am a preschool and Eli is a Todwer." Here are my little men.

Adam's 6th Birthday

My Adam is 6 years old now. He is growing up so fast, just like his brothers. We had pizza for dinner (which is what Adam chose), presents and cake and ice cream and then we took Eli to Granny's house while David, Justin, Ben, Adam, Scott, James, Willy and I went to Boondocks. We played laser tag, rode bumper boats (with squirt guns that someone kept squirting right at the back of my neck) and go-carts. They had arcade games and a kiddie cove. We were there for over 3 hours. It was 11:00pm before we finally got home, but the boys (big and little) had a blast.

Summer School Carnival

The boys had a blast at the Carnival this morning at summer school. They had a few bouncing huts, and an obstacle course, as well as a climbing wall. They did face paint, snow cones, cotton candy, and treats, fishing games with books for prizes, and each class did a song, poem, or rhyme. Ben, Adam and Scott all climbed the tower, although Scott only made it up half way, everyone was impressed. They said he looks so small to be able to do it. After three fun hours, we ate lunch, then Scott, Eli and I came home to take a nap, and Justin, Ben, and Adam returned to finish class. The boys are getting swimming lessons through the school and today after lunch was Ben's class's day to go. They are having a great time.
