Weather Boy and Drewbie ramblings

We are doing some yard improvements in the back yard. There is a big pile of dirt in the back we have nicknamed The Volcano. Weather Boy and his favorite (and only) brother, Drewbie, had a ball getting all dirty in the wet grass and dirt on Saturday.

We did our best keeping Drewbie away from The Volcano since he kept eating the dirt. We would put him on the Nightingale's side of the yard, and he would quickly be back to The Volcano, which is on top of the former spa. If I see a baby derby contest, I'm going to have to enter Drewbie given my competitive nature 'cause I know he'd blow the others away with the right motivation.

Heath had fun using the digger the U's gave him for Christmas. He was loading the truck Uncle John gave him two years ago with dirt and then dumping it. We could have been out there for hours (ok, maybe 45 minutes), but it was cold and Weather Boy's dad wanted to go to Paneras so we called it a day.

January and February were the months of ear infections and three new teeth for Drewbie. March is the month of one big, upper front tooth, clapping, a bad haircut and ear tubes. The tooth looks HUGE in his little mouth. Hopefully, it isn't as bad as it looks, like his haircut. Sweet Lori cut Drewbie's hair on Monday. She tried her best, but I would have like to have taken him to his first hair cut, since it is his first. Oh well, we'll get over it.

Drewbie enjoys clapping now, as you can see in the above picture. I love seeing his little developmental milestones. Finally, Drewbie goes in for tubes in his ears on March 22. I'm a little worried about the whole thing. I know that it's a pretty routine surgery and a lot of kids get them. I trust that the doctor will do a great job and that Drewbie will benefit from it. But this is MY son. Anyway, enough rambling for now. Lunch is over. Adios!
