New Boots

Well this week is Western week at school. Tonight we have our 1st school prgram. I am really wondering what all Cooper's program (the 1 year old class) is going to do in this program. Cooper's part will probably be screaming his head off!! That is why momma is sitting close just in case I have to yank him off the stage. No matter what we will have our cameras and video cameras ready to capture every anticipated moment!

So I bought Cooper a pair of boots for western week. I searched everywhere and finally found some at good ol' Walmart, and they were actually cute. Toy Story characters all over them. I brought them home yesterday and showed them to Jennifer and we both thought they were darling, and Cooper would love them. Much to my suprise his words were "don't like." I shoved his foot in there anyways and he kept telling me "all done, off, off." I thought you little monster,you are going to wear these!! This morning I asked him again, do you want to wear your boots to school? HE shouted out Noooo! I guess he will celebrate Western week in his converse!

We have Blinged Our Band

Here are some cute pics of Park rolling around with his band. Just thought everyone would want to see the front and the back.

update on Parker

Parker is doing great in the band. It does not bother him at all! We had a little bit of a heat rash the 2nd week, but nothing a little cortisone could not clear up. The back of his head has already rounded out after only 3 weeks. I think we only have 8 more weeks left. I am so amazed how quick this treatment is!!
They have told us that the facial features take a little longer to straighten up. He still has quite a bit of assymetry in his face ,but we are hoping it will start moving along a little faster since the back of his head rounded out so fast. The main issue is his ears. He doesn't look like Chunk from the Goonies, but there is a significant difference in the placement of each ear. Way to go Cranial Technologies for making my baby's head a little rounder! We have blinged out Parker's band, thanks to blingyourband.com. HIs band features the flat tires, with "just fixin my flat on the back." I thought it was too funny to pass up, and we have gotten so many compliments. People actually understand the purpose of the band when they read his, instead of blank stares, or what is wrong with your baby?
Needless to say his head will not be perfect, but whose is? As my sweet friend Lauren says, just tell them to leave a little more hair on that side when he gets a hair cut. No one will ever know the difference!

Life's little adjustments

Many of you know that Park got the Doc Band. Well we are adjusting!! We have not made it up to wearing it 23 hours a day,but we are getting there. I am amazed how light the band actually is. Of course we are hoping that we get it off soon, but Parker does not seem to mind it. The only problem with the bands are they are very hot. It is like wearing panty hose on your head. Thank goodness for Aunt Michael who has been babysitting this week and checking his band every hour. His poor little head gets so hot we have to wipe the sweat off. No more long jammies, he is now living in onesies with light blankets so he does not have a heat stroke!! HIs body temp should adjust soon. Hopefully sooner with the Arctic blast. I cant imagine how parents keep their babies cool in the dead of summer.I guess if he has to wear it, no better time than right now! I think the hardest one adjusting is Josh. I keep reminding him as perfect as Parker is, somethings just need a little tweeking.

Today Big Brother turns 2!! Wow,where has the time gone? Happy Birthday Cooper!! Now we must get ready for our big party. Mom of the year here planned to blow up his bounce house for the party on Saturday. What in the world was I thinking it is going to barely be above freezing... well I guess we will bundle up!!!
