Sweet Monday

On Monday Corbin will be the owner of a pair of these:

I know most of you don't have the foggiest idea (yes, double meaning, Corbin's last few months have been foggy in hearing) what this is. Corbin will be getting tubes in his ears. A very common procedure and I am very excited! According to the ENT specialist, the poor kid has had a constant ear infection for the last 5 months! He has been on 4 different antibiotics, which mask the problem and then it flares back up again. I have great hopes for what life will be like after Monday. I am hoping for longer naps, no waking up at night, better eating and less irritablility! I will let you know how it goes. I might have to be reminded that he is a Thompson boy, and sleeping does not run in his veins anyway. But a girl can always dream, right!

P.S. Thank you to all of those who commented on my last post, it was incredibly fun to have so many great memories brought back to my view. If you haven't done this one on your blog, you should!

Memory Lane

Just thought this might be fun!

1. Add a comment on our blog, leave one memory that you and I (or with Connor, Dylan, Ashlyn and corbin) had together. It doesn't matter if you know us a little or a lot, anything you remember!


2. If you want to play, re-post these instructions on your blog and take a stroll down memory lane too.

Bandaids

The problem is two fold:
1. Ashlyn Loves band aids. She finds every excuse she can to wear one. She will find an old "owie" and demand that it hurts and she needs one. Or she will just want one for no reason.
2. Corbin is FASCINATED by band aids. If he sees one, he has to grab it.

So, you can imagine this might be a very hysterical sight! For example- Ashlyn is watching her favorite show and Corbin gets a view of her band aid (that she as long forgot is there.) He crawls over and starts trying to rip it off her leg, she gets irritated for a moment, pushes him away but gets back to her show. Corbin, of course, hasn't forgotten and tries again, only causing the same reaction with a tad more irritation. By the tenth time she is really losing it! Corbin literally can not think about anything else. The fascination, however, ends when the band aid comes off- which is not very likely with Ashlyn! So as you can see band aids cause a lot of ruckus around our house.

Birthday Bash

I am way behind on my posting. This week both our boys had Birthdays!! My big boy turned 5 and my baby turned 1. Oh boy, I just can't believe it! I love these two so much. I also think it is very funny that everyone on the planet thinks they are twins divided by a few years! I remember asking Dylan if he wanted his baby brother to have the same birthday as him, he told me straight up- no way! At least he was honest. The only bad part is Ashlyn is feeling a little left out. There was one point where she really thought it was her birthday too.

So here is my tribute to my beautiful boys:

Daring
Yack- I can't get him to be quiet sometimes!
Loves to laugh
Athletic miracle
Never ending energy

5 things I love about Dylan:
1. I love when he gets excited, his eyes sparkle and his smile makes me melt right into excitement with him.
2. He is very good at persuasion- I have a hard time telling him "no."
3. He really is so kind and caring.
4. He is very bright. I have not had to work very hard with him on his amazing math and reading skills. He hasn't even gotten to kindergarten and can do both!
5. He is so easy to get along with. There is rarely a kid between the age of 0 and 15 that he can't have a good time with!!

Cute as can be (you can see for yourself can't you)
Observant- loves to watch people
Really bad napper
Boyish- loves anything that moves
Into everything
Nonstop ear infections

1 Thing I love about Corbin:
1. He is my miracle baby. He is such a great kid and puts up with so much. I wouldn't have survived without his easygoing personality.

Happy Birthday to Camille and Colleen as well (on the 6th)!!!!

Funny Faces

I never knew a rubber band could provide us with so much entertainment! We were rolling with laughter for at least a half hour.

I was surprised at how much Corbin "liked it." I think he thought it was funny too- or maybe just the idea that we were all laughing at him.
