Dylan's 4th Birthday
What can I say about our 3rd Grandchild, Dylan. He has more energy than the energizer bunny. He is more curious than curious George. A switch cannot go untouched, a button cannot go unpressed. He is a snuggler, which I am really grateful for, if I sit on the couch he will come from across the room to sit on my lap. He is unpredictable, one minute you are about to reprimand him and then all of a sudden he grabs your leg and says, I love you Maw Maw, you are the best. Any adult commercial on tv for baking or wrinkle cream, Dylan tells me I need it and he will buy it for me. He is very generous that way. Dylan worships his Mom, Dad and Sister, Kylie. What they say is gospel. He also, loves all his cousins, especially, Sissy. She is his best friend. They go to preschool together and get along so well. We will ask him who he plays with and he says Sissy. We ask him if there are pretty girls in school and he says yes, Sissy. They have a tight bond. I hope that continues thru life. Dylan is our first Grandson and nothing like I have ever experienced before. He is my love, my heart and my soul. He makes me a better Grandma/Maw Maw. I wish Dylan much happiness and love in his life's journey.

A Day We Don't Want Repeated
The Saga Continues:
So I thought since I feel so good today Friday, Nov. 5th, I would call Julie and tell her I will take Kylie to school. She said she would call me back and let me know. At 6:30am, she called back from home and said she was sick and Nick would bring Kylie over for me to take her to school. Julie was sick and staying home with Dylan. Kylie came and said her stomach hurts but Kylie always says this, I fixed french toast her favorite and said she couldn't eat it and wanted to lay down. I said can I fix you something else, she said oatmeal. I fixed the oatmeal and she ate 3 bites and couldn't eat anymore. Julie called and asked if I would come over and feed Dylan, she didn't feel good enough to do it. I took Kylie to school and went over to Julie's. In the meantime, Mary said they had to take her car to get fixed by our house and since they don't have heat at their house and they are getting a furnace today, she asked it they could leave Iris at our house. Brian dropped Iris off at our house and then went home. I was at Julie's fixing Dylan some breakfast when Julie called me upstairs, school called Kylie threw up. I went and got Kylie and took her home and took Dylan to my house. Soooooo who is next???? Mary, Leah or Nicholas, these are the only 3 that have not succumbed to this horrible illness.
The Saga keeps continuing:
We had a committment for Friday night we felt we had to go to, it was like a cocktail party and Brian and Mary were going with us. We were able to get ready to go and arrived at 6:30pm. We ate a few things and I was starting to feel better but after an hour, Bob said, I am ready to go home. We got home and Bob went to bed. At 2:30am I ran to the bathroom with more diahrrea. Saturday, Bob and I were feeling rotten again. We could hardly do anything. About 9am Brian called, Leah threw up. Talked with Julie, she was a little better and so was Kylie but Nicholas had diahrrea. So the only one not touched so far is Mary. Mary you win!

Halloween at the Magic House
Toothless Beautiful Kylie
On Thursday, October 29th, Kylie had the opportunity to meet "Big Time Rush", it is a kids show with 4 teenage guys. Kylie was so excited, her and Julie stood in line outside Best Buy for 3 hours waiting their turn to get them to sign her CD. She was so excited and they were so nice to her.
Sissy the Angelic Middle Child
Sissy is something else. She is very independent. She has the face of an angel but can turn in the blink of an eye. Mary would tell me stories of Sissy telling her she was not the best Mom in the world but I had never received that treatment from her. Well, I am no longer a virgin. A couple of weeks ago, we took Dylan, Charlie and Sissy to Suson Park to play on the playground and visit the animals, this is one of the favorite parks for the kids. It was a beautiful October morning. The kids were happy and having a ball. After a while, Dylan and Charlie went for the swings. I told Sissy, lets go over on the swings. Sissy said she wanted to climb the rock. Now this rock is about 12 feet high. I hate it. Sissy is not the most coordinated child. I said no lets go to the swings right now. She started screaming at the top of her lungs. People started looking at me, I didn't even have my hands on her. She proceeded to scream and then it came, "You are not the best Maw Maw in the world." I was heartbroken, I immediately guided her by her shoulders to a bench and told her to sit over there til she calmed down. She kept screaming on the bench. After a few minutes I went over to her and tried to explain why I didn't want her to climb the rock, that I didn't want her to get hurt. It wasn't helping. Finally after about 10 minutes she started to calm down and she went for the swings and all was forgotten. Later that day I told Mary that I was not the best Maw Maw in the world and that GiGi is now the only best Grandma in the world. She told me no, that wasn't true, that GiGi was also told she was not the best GiGi in the world. So I didn't feel so bad, I am in good company now.
Another cute story about Sissy. When she broke her finger or should I say when Charlie broke Sissy's finger, her fingernail turned black and blue. Well, on Oct. 29th, we took the kids to the Magic house and while they were playing in the water, Sissy told me look Maw Maw my fingernail, I looked at it and she was lifting half her nail up. I got her a band aid and put it on her finger because I didn't want it to get torn off. Later that night she showed her Mom and Dad her nail and told them her nail was winking at her. I rolled when they told me that. Her fingernail winks. Toooooo funny.
About a week ago, Mary told me that Sissy knows when she needs to poop on the potty but sometimes they think she gets lazy, so if she poops in her pants, I need to spank her. Well, a few days later, I was putting Dylan and Sissy down for quiet time. We always go to the bathroom before we go down. Dylan peed and Sissy pooped and peed. All was well, until about 10 minutes later Sissy comes out with a smile on her face and said she pooped in her pants. I said you know what that means... she said she gets a spanking on her butt. I looked at Bob and said I can't spank her. I went into the bathroom and cleaned her up and I gave her a talking to about how disappointed I am in her pooping in her pants, nothing seemed to phase her. We went back into her room and it was a mess from the 3 of them playing in there earlier that day. I told her, your punishment for pooping in your pants is cleaning up this room by yourself. She started screaming, I don't want to clean it up by myself, I said too bad. You don't get a snack or go home till it is cleaned up. She continued screaming, I walked out and closed the door. I heard screaming for about 20 minutes. She then came out of her room, all smiles and singsonged, MawMaw I cleaned my room, can I get my snack now. I immediately hugged her and let her have her snack. She goes from evil Sissy to Angelic Sissy in a blink of an eye. It is so funny.
The last funny story happened, I think it Monday night 11-1-10, Mary was making supper and Sissy asked to play with play dough, Mary said no, you can play with it after supper. Sissy immediately went to her room and got out the play dough and started playing. Nora saw this and said to Sissy, didn't your Mom tell you, you couldn't play with your play dough? Mary heard this and replied, yes, Sissy, put that away. Sissy screamed "No!" Mary said fine, if you don't put it away, I will throw it away. Mary left and Sissy turned to Nora and said, "Nora, my Mom just don't understand me." She cracks me up.
These are some of the adventures of our middle Grandchild.

Past Funnies
When Kylie and Leah were starting to talk they called hamburgers, hangaburgers and they still do.
Last week (7-12-10) Kylie was eating dinner with us and was biting on a piece of garlic bread (she loves my garlic bread) I was watching her because she has to use her side teeth because she had a loose tooth in the front on the bottom, when all of a sudden I saw her wince and saw a dark spot in the front on the bottom where a tooth was, she immediately put her hand to her mouth and spit out a tooth, that was her third tooth she loss. A few days later, they stayed again for dinner and again I had garlic bread and Kylie looked at the bread and looked up at me with sad eyes and said "Grandma, I can't eat the garlic bread because I don't won't to lose another tooth." We fixed the problem by just scooping out the soft bread from the crust so she could have her garlic bread and not lose another tooth.
