Our boys are getting so good at playing together. Finn worships Kai and wants to do whatever he is doing. In the mornings Finn is normally the first one up, but he doesn't really smile until he sees Kai, and then his entire face just lights up. It's so cute to see them together. Honestly, it makes my heart smile. Cheesy, I know, but true.
Yesterday Kai needed something upstairs, but Finn didn't want to come with us. So after Kai went up the stairs, I covered my eyes, started to count, and then shouted "Ready or not, here I come." Finn was all over it! He started yelling "Kai!" and raced up the stairs to find him. I loved that I got them both up the stairs willingly. So this morning when we were having a repeat performance, I tried it again. Again, it worked like a charm. And once we got upstairs the boys continued the game on their own. Finn doesn't understand hiding yet, but he sure does love to seek. Here are some clips of their game. I love just about everything in these videos! (Note: Finn says "da, da, da" for counting and "go" for "ready or not". You may need to turn up the volume just a bit to hear it.)
Families are what make life rich. Love is what binds us together. Joy is being surrounded by both. ~Unknown

Life's About To Change
For the last 4 years and 3 months I have been a stay-at-home mom with a stay-at-home kid. And for 22 months it's been two stay-at-home kids. The reality is that the world as I know it is about to change and I'm still not sure how I feel about it. Next Tuesday I'll drive Kai to the local elementary school, walk him into his classroom and say goodbye. The funny part is that he isn't even starting Kindergarten, just Pre-K, but it sure does feel more like Kindergarten. His Pre-K class meets for 2 and half hours a day, four days a week. Just a half an hour a day (and one day) shy of Kindergarten. I feel cheated out of the "preschool" experience but, when looking at all of our options, this program made the most sense for our family at this time. I just hope that I continue to feel that way throughout the year.
I'm so proud of Kai and the kid that he is becoming. I'm looking forward to seeing him blossom over this next year and hopefully come out of his shell a bit. I love being his mom and hope that, even with all of the excitement of new friends and new adventures, he will still be happy to come home and share all of those with us. We sure do love you, Kai, and we're so glad that you're a part of our family.
Kai has had his ups-and-downs with the idea of preschool. He is more than ready for it, but I do know that he is a bit nervous and has made many comments about wanting me to stay with him. He has always been super-affectionate and lovey, but even more so lately. Although, who's going to really complain about comments such as "You're my favorite mom ever!" and "Mom, I love you" or the random "Hug!" requests. Seriously, this boy is going to be one sweet husband one day. He is normally the first one to comment on my outfits and he has told me that he likes Sundays when I wear dresses and am pretty. He tells me which shirts are his favorites and will even help me get dressed if I let him. (I don't really do that though!) Anyway, I digressed, but my point was that I think he might initially have a hard time letting go. But I do know that he is going to love it and I don't think it'll take too long (crossing my fingers). As a mom, my worry is more about getting replaced. Why can't I always be the "best mom ever" or Kai's "best friend". Seriously, I'd love it! But I guess these boys have to grow up, I'm just not sure I'm ready for it.
Today I took Kai out for a little one-on-one time. I had been wanting to take him to Mr. Bigg's for awhile and just had never gotten around to it. Today was the day. I was surprised by how completely empty it was this afternoon and at first was concerned that it wouldn't be much fun without some other kids around. Instead it provided some great quality one-on-one time for us. I got to help him pretend to fix a car, feed a pet, put out a fire, and more. We started out slow, but by the time we got settled in I had a hard time dragging him a way. The highlight of the day for me was seeing him finally jump in a bounce house and enjoy it. When I saw the bounce house I knew that I had to find a way to get him in there. So after several bribes, lots of building it up, and 45 minutes, I finally got him in. I held his hand at first as he jumped and then slowly he was ready to jump on his own. He discovered the fun of a bounce house!

Moves
Finn is the funniest little kid. He certainly has no inhibitions. He is quite confident with everything he does--including standing at the top of the stairs and just jumping! (One of these days no one is going to be there to catch him. That scares me to pieces!) He also loves to dance. While at the zoo with his cousins a dance party commenced. Here is just a little clip in which you can see that Finn is quite comfortable. I wish we had more of it, but I think we realized what was going on a little too late to catch most of it.
Here is another clip taken last weekend. About a month or so ago, Finn began doing seat drops on the floor. I've been trying to get a video but have failed every time. We finally got it! If you want to fast forward to the end of the video, that's where it is. Finn loves the beginning of this video, though. Every time Kai sticks his face right in the camera Finn laughs so hard he turns blue. I love his laugh!

Finn's First Movie
Yesterday I took Finn out for his first movie in a movie theatre. We choose Winnie the Pooh as he loves Pooh Bear and the movie was listed as 70 minutes long. At first we thought Reid would be able to join us, and then he wasn't going to make it, and then he was, and then finally while standing in line to buy tickets we found out he wasn't coming. I was anxious about handling the two boys by myself, but it worked out well. We bought popcorn and a drink and then settled ourselves in. The movie actually seemed even shorter than 70 minutes and we were really only there for about 80 minutes total (previews included). Finn did really well and sat on my lap for almost the entire length of the film. The last 15 minutes or so he decided he needed to stand up and so he did so, but he continued watching through the cracks in the seats in front of him. He was also pretty quite (for Finn) and only exclaimed once during a scary part. Of course, after every preview he would turn to me and say "What's that?", but that stopped once Pooh Bear came on. Overall, it was a really good experience and I would even consider doing it again. It would just have to be the right movie.

Belleview Park
On Monday we went back to Belleview Park for another fun excursion. We always have a good time "adventuring" with our friends and Monday was no exception. For whatever reason, the train and petting zoo are not open on Mondays, so we just played on the playground and watched as the kids splashed in the water. We spent at least 3 hours at the park which made for a full, fun day. Finn even joined in on the sand fun for just a little bit and then he decided he'd rather hang with the moms on the blankets. Of course, the minute I put his regular shoes back on (instead of his water shoes) he decided he wanted to go wading in the stream. Silly kid!
 |
| It's so fun to look at last year's pictures and then this year's. These kids have certainly grown-up! |
 |
| This year Kai was even willing to get IN the water! |
 |
| This was Kai's silent protest on the edge of the stream. He didn't want the kids to play in the little harbor they made, but instead wanted it all to himself. I think preschool is going to be a good lesson in learning to play with others. |
The End of Soccer
For the past 8 weeks Kai has been enrolled in a soccer class. After the roller coaster ride last time he took soccer, he decided that really did like the sport and wanted to play again. Unfortunately, the YMCA wasn't teaching soccer this summer so we went in search of another program. Overall, I was happy with the program we found and would consider it again. There were definitely several things that I didn't like either, but I guess there's no such thing as a perfect situation. This program was much more geared toward the younger crowd. There were A LOT of pretend games. The funny thing was that with each game they played the objective remained the same: kick a soccer ball from one net over to the other. They did it to feed hungry hippos or to keep balls away from aliens, but no matter what you called it, it was the same thing. There was one week that they got to do an obstacle course and Kai loved that. He really looked forward to going to soccer each week and even told me this morning that he couldn't find his jersey. He was getting dressed for soccer all by himself--amazing! I told him that once we start school and get a feel for it, if we still feel we can handle soccer we'll look into then. Until then, it's the end of our soccer season. Here are some pictures from Kai's last day of class (note that Kai is in the tan/khaki shorts).

The Boys Lately
Kai
Lately Kai has really gotten into coloring. When there is no structured activity going on, it's not uncommon to find him with crayons and a coloring book. He is also getting quite good at drawing on his magnet doodle pad (I don't know what else to call it!). I figure he has to have inherited it from his daddy because it's definitely not from me!
Kai has also grown by leaps and bounds in this last month. I seriously felt as if he just woke up one day a better behaved boy. It was so strange. I wanted to find out who kidnapped my 4 year-old and replaced him with this one. Although, I do have to say, it's been great to have him so well behaved. He's consistently sleeping through the night (again, finally!) and he even sleeps in a good portion of the time. He listens better and has been super affectionate and sweet. He even is enjoying being my big helper again. I sure do love my time with my Kai.
Kai is also just super talkative. But that's not new! When he's playing he can most often be found narrating everything that's going on, even if no one is listening. He loves to play pretend and if you listen in on the stories he's telling himself you're sure to smile. He's got a great imagination and a too-large-for-a-4-year-old vocabulary. It makes it interesting.
Yesterday we had friends take us to the YMCA as their guests to go swimming. At first Kai was not having any of it, but after about just 10 minutes he warmed up and had a great time. He walked around confidently in the shallow kids' pool (about 2 ft. deep) and learned to splash and throw the plastic rings. Then we went into the deep end (only 3 1/2 ft deep). We put Kai in a life jacket and he loved holding onto my friend's hands and floating around kicking his feet like a boat. We spent about an hour and a half there and he was doing great. He is so ready for swim lessons!
Finally, Kai told his first real joke yesterday. I had asked him to help me look for something and he replied, "Detective Kai is on the case!.......the PILLOW case! Hahahahahaha!" It totally made me laugh and it still does. I love this kid!
Finn
Finn is becoming more and more of a handfull. He is full of energy and just a lot of fun...and a lot of work. He has learned many new words in the last month, including "cheese" when mommy is taking pictures. Some of his words aren't exactly right, but they sure are cute. He uses the word "go" for a car and "foo" for a dog, for example. It's totally cute! He has also learned to say words like "show" for a TV show, "silly" for when he's silly, "Ho" for help and so many more. He also has phrases, like "It's just dirty." I love listening to what he says and how he says it.
At the beginning of July Finn was consistently sleeping through the night. And then he stopped. After a couple of weeks of not sleeping well, he finally started sleeping through the night again (knock on wood). He's learning to eat, but he's still not doing great. It is better for now, though. And he's mastered the art of climbing just about anywhere you can imagine. He can even climb the metal rope ladders on the play sets at the park. He's my handfull and I have a feeling he always will be. But he sure can make you smile!

Wrapping Up July
Somehow July just seemed to escape from me. We certainly kept busy with play dates and adventures. Of course, we also had the boys' cousins here. While there were no really big events in July, the month sure seemed to fly by. And somehow, I didn't take that many pictures.
Kai began soccer classes in June and continued those through July. His soccer class meets every Friday at 9:30am and lasts 50 minutes. Despite some initial rough moments, he has grown to absolutely love going to soccer! He has told me it will make him very sad when he is done with soccer this Friday.
On July 11th Finn had his quarterly clinic visit. He weighed in at 22 pounds 2 ounces and was 32 inches tall. The nutritionist would like to him weigh 24 pounds for that height! According to their records he had a 2 inch height growth in the last 3 months. Unfortunately, in that time he didn't even gain a full pound. They adjusted his medication a bit to see if that could help and then they sent us a case of Boost Kids' Essentials 1.5 (which is Pediasure but with even more calories) to try. Other than that, he's doing fabulous. No growing bacteria, no coughs, nothing. He's having a fantastic summer!
Also in July I was called as the new Wolf "Den Mother" for our ward. We have had several day-time den activities that have either had me bring the boys or have taken me away from them for awhile. One day for a pack activity we went to the park to launch water rockets. I took the boys and our babysitter and we all had a good time. It was nice to have Megan there to play with the boys while I did the scout thing, and it was also nice to have my boys there, too. A week after that we had a scout field trip to Hillside Gardens. What a fascinating place! The scouts brought picnic lunches and then we got a tour of the Gardens. That time I had to leave the boys with friends, and they seemed to have a great time, too.
Finally the end of July got a bit crazy. On Thursday the 28th Reid worked late. I put the kids to bed and then settled in to watch a chick-flick. Reid came home after 9pm and laid down on the couch. He said his stomach wasn't feeling well. Well, I stayed up a bit too late but finally headed off to bed around 11pm. I woke up to Kai tapping me around 3:20am on Friday morning. I took him back to his bed and noticed that Reid was missing from ours. Just a few minutes later Reid came upstairs obviously in pain. He told me where he hurt and said he was thinking about heading to the ER. At that time Finn woke up. I asked Reid if he needed me to drive him and he said no. So, I headed to Finn's room. Unfortunately, Finn did not want to settle back down. After an hour, we left the bedroom to check on Reid. He was still feeling poorly and unsure what he was going to do. I grabbed a bottle for Finn and headed back to Finn's bedroom. After another hour, Finn was in bed and I headed back to mine. Reid was still not looking good.
Kai woke me up again but this time it was 7:30am. And Reid was still in the same position. So I told him I would call his doctor. It was at that time that we were told they were booked for the day. We then decided it would be best for Reid to go to the Urgent Care up the street. Reid was out the door in about 5 minutes as the Urgent Care opens at 8am. Around 8:40am Reid called to tell me that he was being sent to the ER, and then about 20 minutes after that Reid called for help with filling out his paperwork.
After that, I didn't hear from Reid again for 2 and half hours. During that time the boys and I were at Kai's soccer class and playing on the playground. We've been taking a babysitter to soccer and so while we were doing that I checked with Megan to see if she was available the rest of the day, just in case. Thankfully she was. At 11:30 Reid called to say that the were waiting on a CT scan. Around noon we got the results of the CT scan which showed that Reid had appendicitis.
Megan arrived to watch the boys shortly after 1pm and I headed to hospital to be with Reid. I arrived in his room right around 2pm and he was scheduled for surgery at 2:15pm. Of course, they were late. I visited with Reid and helped out a bit while we waited. Once he went into surgery I sat in the waiting room. After a bit more than a hour the surgeon came out and told me that everything had gone well and that Reid was doing fine. After another 20 minutes or so the nurse came out to tell me that they were moving him to a room on another floor. I beat him to his new room and waited for him to come in. Once we got him settled and dinner ordered and I saw that he was doing ok, I headed home to get back to the boys. I ended up back home at 6pm, so I just threw a frozen pizza in the oven.
The next morning Reid was ready to be released from the hospital, so thankfully Megan came to stay with the boys again and her mom drove me down to the hospital (since I needed to drive Reid's car home.) It was nice to get Reid home and to see him looking more like himself. Of course, he has some restrictions (like he can't lift the boys for three weeks!) and he's still a bit sore, but he's doing better. In fact, he's heading back to work today after 5 days off.
So, that's our July in a nutshell. It ended a bit poorly, but we're all doing well and looking forward to August. Just for fun I did a count. July had 1 dentist appointment, 2 Urgent Care visits, 1 CF clinic visit, 2 CT scans, 1 ER visit, 1 overnight in the hospital, multiple episodes (too many to count) of kids sick to their stomach, 2 mild colds/runny noses, and 1 kid with a fever for 2 days. And none of that counts me! It was a busy month despite the fact that I don't have much to show for it!
Kai began soccer classes in June and continued those through July. His soccer class meets every Friday at 9:30am and lasts 50 minutes.

Visiting Cousins
We were lucky enough to have Reid's sister Kristi and her family come to visit us for a couple of days. They arrived around dinner time on Wednesday the 20th and Kai was so excited! He quickly made friends with his cousin, Owen, who is also 4 years-old. Thursday the 21st was mainly spent playing at the house. Unfortunately we were awful hosts and totally slept in, and then Kai got sick. So our day was pretty much shot. We did try to go to Garden of the Gods in the afternoon but got rained out. It turned into just a really long car ride instead.
Finally on Friday the 22nd we got ourselves organized and headed to the zoo. We had a great time and I'll admit that it was probably my best visit to our local zoo ever. We saw more animals in their cages than I can ever recall seeing. We spent a good 4 and 1/2 hours covering every inch of the zoo and eating lunch, too. It was a good day and we were in good company. Kai had moments where he enjoyed playing with Ethan more, and then it would switch to Owen or Bryn. He really loved all of his cousins and he just kept saying how cute Isaac was. Kai would have loved for his cousins to stay forever, but unfortunately they had to leave bright and early on Saturday the 23rd. He sure missed them that day and it was certainly a dull day compared to the previous two. Here's to hoping that we see them again soon!
