Halloween Packages

Bryson was greeted with a few packages today full of Halloween treats. He must have thought it was his birthday or something with all the stuff that came!!!

Checking out his new Halloween book.

Putting the tea candle in the figurine.

Checking out his crazy eye glasses!!!

This is what we get now if we ask for a pose and say "cheese" picture.

Taking a taste to see how it is!

Playing with his light up Mickey Mouse pumpkin!

School Halloween Party '10

Bryson went to his 3rd Annual Halloween Parade at his day car. They walk through Halliburton and trick-or-treat with all the employees. Halliburton does a great job of decorating a few of the hallways for the kids to walk through and they hand out LOTS lots of candy!

Bryson getting into his Mickey Mouse costume and checking out his Mickey Mouse candy bucket.

Making the walk across the street to start the parade.

Everybody wanted to see his "real "Micky Mouse that of course had to come along.

He had no problem mastering the art of picking out something yummy and getting it stocked away in the bucket for the next one. Even when someone was dressed up really scary, he would just make sure to keep a little space.

Sitting down to enjoy a sucker with his friends after a successful parade!

Recovery

Bryson has been in recovery mode for the last couple of days. After a rough night Friday night he has bounced backed and is on his way back to being able to go visit all his friends at school!

Spent the first couple of days close to mom in the big bed resting up.

Saturday by mid morning Bryson begin to strut his stuff again. Playing with his get well balloons but also having to have his hat on, mickey mouse in one hand and mickey mouse juice in the other. By Sunday Bryson was feeling up to a little get away to the beach. Galveston beach that is. Not the bleached white sand he is normally spoiled with but this beach is only a short drive away too!

Shell Searching, loved to find them and bring them back to be "THROWN" into the wagon for safe keeping!

Monday he is starting to snack on cheese again. Of course grandma still lets him wear half PJ's and jeans out!

Now after a week we will have to begin to un-spoil little man. If that is possible. Could be at least another week before some of those recover!

No More Tonsils

Bryson had his Tonsils taken out yesterday. Everything went well and the Dr was a little surprised at how big they ended up being. He said the were 4.5 out of a 5 point scale but was still surprised at their size so this should really help Bryson sleeping and not have any restless night.


B getting his vitals checked before surgery.


Playing in the big waiting room.


Playing in the hold room right before surgery. Funny how all the big kids think the little kids toys are so much fun again.


After Surgery and Because B is still under 3 he got to spend the night at the Dr House (hospital).


From everything we had read we weren't really expecting much from him as far as eating and drinking. Especially in the first 24 hours. So when the tray of Soft food came we offered it but didn't think much of it. But in true Graham fashion little man got a whiff of those mash potato's and ate the whole scoop for dinner and then was mad when we didn't have more right there for him!!


Grandma had brought dinner for mom and dad while B was sleeping but she still thought ahead and made sure she got some mashed potato's. When little man woke up at 3:30 in the morning and got changed/meds/fluids they asked if he wanted apple sauce/jello and some other things to which we got a quick NO. But when we remembered and offered the mashed potato's it was down the hatch a couple minute later.


Finally back to sleep and resting comfortable.


Ready to go home! As soon as the nurse said the word go. B thrust out his arm for the IV to go away and was in the stroller still half asleep ready to go! He wasn't taking any chance someone would change their mind.

Sleeping on mom at home. Getting geared up for several more days of rest and relaxation.

A note for his baby book:

Man we thought we had everything. We knew what to expect and had everything covered we could think of. So what did we not prepare for! PEE!!!! Bryson is in pull-ups since he is starting the potty training. So we don't have true diapers around anymore and didn't even think about it being a problem. Well after you see a 3 lbs bag of liquid get pumped in ever 4-5 hours it has to go some were. And the little toy-story 3 pull-ups don't cut it. We ended up going thru a sleeve of those things and still had to change outfits a couple of times. Hence why in a 24 hour time period it looks like he is wearing 4 outfits!

Big Boy Hair Cut

B has always done well getting his haircut. He just normally sits on daddy's lap. But this time he sat all by himself and got a nice haircut. Amazes the ladies every time because he gets mad if they don't use the trimmers on the back of his neck and side burns. And they aren't used to pulling them out for 2.5 year olds.

Why Cats do not Get Close to 2 Year Olds

Our two cats have always kept a little distance from Bryson. But now that he is totally mobile and has the height he can pretty much get to them were ever they are at. Our black cat is way to smart and bolts if Bryson is with in 5 feet. The other one isn't so smart and hence----



I heard a deep ,let all the air out of the cats lung, sound and wondered what was going in. It was B who had found Gracie on the bed in her bed and preceded to "Love" on her!


Just a couple days later I heard a cat squeal and could tell someone wasn't happy. I figured the two cats were fighting. But when I walked out to the living room I found that Gracie had walked to close to a 2.5 year old.
And that he wanted her to watch wiggles with him on the computer. He even pointed out the characters for her. She just loves his love so much!
