Jesus Loves Me

This morning Ollie's choir sang for the church and Ollie actually went out there this time. Last year he would scream and cry when he figured out what was going on and he would not make it into the sanctuary. He did not sing but he did stand in the front row! After Sunday School Ollie got to play in the park outside the church. Check out the video below!

Mail from CA!

Tonight when we got home there was a box on the front porch for Ollie!

Maw Maw & Papa Stu sent the Penquin action figure that goes with his Batcave! There was also M&M's, a magnet & pictures in the box. So far Ollie cared about was the Penguin!

He took him straight up to his playroom to play with his Batcave.

Labor Day Pool Party

Yesterday we went to Barb & Larry's for their Labor Day pool party! It actually turned out to be a perfect day for the pool party. It was not extremely hot but the sun did come out in the afternoon.

Dad & Pati were able to make it too! Yesterday was their 6th anniversary! Ollie got Papa to get in the pool!

Jill & Bel are taking a break from swimming. Although right before the Burke's were leaving Bel was over driving Uncle Larry & Dad crazy and Larry held her upside down for awhile and then put her back down and pushed her right in the pool, clothes and all! It was pretty funny!




Ollie & Vivy played very well together after it was time to get out of the pool. They played on the trampoline and got Uncle Larry to get out the little 4 wheeler for them to ride, although it ran out of juice pretty quick.
I didn't get any pics of Aunt Erin, Uncle Kevin, John, Paula, Daddy or Tyler but they were all there too. Aunt Erin & Uncle Kevin had big news! They are having a baby!!! The new baby is due April 29th! Congratulations you guys!!!

This & That

Earlier this week Ollie was able to recite his address (minus the City & State) and spell his name OLLIE out loud and then he said I want to get some icecream. So off to Fritz we go! Ollie got a fishbait sundae. Which is vanilla icecream, oreo cookies & gummy worms! He only at the gummy worms - good thing I paid extra for the special sundae!

Yesterday was Papa Great's 88th birthday so we woke up and went to see him this morning. Papa Great was all smiles to see Ollie and he was more awake than I have seen him in a long time, but he was still snoozing on us after about 5 minutes so we headed off to Papa's house. We hung out for awhile then went out for mexican. Ollie was all excited when it was time to go because they gave him the check and Papa gave him the money to pay the bill all by himself! Then he used some change to splurge on candy!
The other night I found a superhero website that sold juvenile t-shirts. I ordered a Batmat t-shirt for Ollie & one for me to wear when we go to the Batcave in CA! We got the shirts today. Ollie's is a little big but it will work. Here he is showing off his new shirt with his "mean batman" face!




Of course we had to put the new shirt on right away and had to put it back on after he got out of the shower!

Head Injury

This morning I got a call from Ollie's daycare and they said he went down the slide head first and landed on the top of his head in the rocks. He was bleeding alot and should they take him to the hospital or did I want to come. I said I'll be right there and I was there w/in ten minutes. He wasn't crying anymore and the bleeding looked like it had stopped but there was still blood in his hair. His doctor was not in so we went to the urgent care. We had to wait over an hour but when the dr came in he checked him all out and cleaned up his head. He took some gauze and some kind of cleaner and just scrubbed on the top of his head. Poor Ollie had his eyes squeezed shut and his face was all scrunched up. I was thinking, geeze you could be a little more gentle than that. When it was all cleaned up it was just two little red boo boos on the top of his head, he did not need stitches, thank goodness! I can't believe that much blood came out of these little boo boos. Anyway, Ollie is fine and we took the afternoon off, he will go back to daycare tomorrow. Hopefully, tomorrow will be uneventful!
