One Guess

I will give you one guess who Demitri is obsessed with:

D's 3yr check up

Demitri had his three year check up on 9/20. He is 37.5 pounds and 40 inches. They also did a vision test which was the cutest thing that I have ever seen. I wish that I had brought my camera but I forgot it but D looked adorable covering one eye and reading the shapes off of the wall. When he had to say star, he would say "shooting star". The doctor also did a hearing test and he got vaccination for hepatitis A and a flu shot.

I brought up my concerns about Demitri being pigeon toed and the doc watched him walk and said it is very minor and does not warrant anything being done. Hmmm.

I also mentioned his allergies...keep giving him Claritin.

The doc also said that his tongue is healing beautifully.

Have to bring a urine sameple back in.

We got a yellow lollypop and we were off.

D's trip to the ER


Demitri decided it was a good idea to climb on the nightstand. Just as I was telling him to get down, he fell and bit his tongue. The result was a 2cm laceration that needed 3 stitches. We had to sedate him to get the stitces in but the other choice was 2 weeks of letting the tongue heal on its own. No thanks. He did really well but had a minor allergic reaction to the ketamine that they used to sedate him. His face got all swollen and blotchy. I still can't believe my son has had two sets of stitches before he turned three. I think I am going to be in the ER a lot in the next 16 years.

D kicked the pox in the A$$

D came down with the first pox on Sunday. I can happily say that almost all signs of the pox are gone. When our pedi said that breakthru chicken pox were mild he was serious. D was pretty itch and had a fever but he was a trooper. I am super proud of my little man. He kicked that chicken to the curb.

LMAO, A Lil Pox Humor to Lighten the Mood!

Sigh, the pox are no fun but luckily D is a model patient. He listens to me when I say "No scratching". He is keeping himself occupied in the house and the yard. I don't think I could ask for a better kid...well there is the sleeping issue but I guess we won't get into that here.


Look Jojo, there is even a picture of our pox party. Is there traffic???? Where are are you guys?

Demitri has the POX!

My little man ...my little vaccinated man...has been attacked by the chicken pox montser. How can this be??? How can a kid who has been poked and prodded by needles in order to become immune still get the nasty disease? Well, its called BREAKTHROUGH CHICKEN POX , my pediatrician says he doesnt see it too often but I have spoken to a few mothers today alone that have had vaccinated kids get the pox more than once.

Good news: Breakthrough chicken pox is usually milder than regular chicken pox. Woohoo for us.

Here is a picture of Demitri as we waited in the outer waiting room at the pediatrician today. We had to be taken in thru the file room. Demitri insisted on wearing his helmet, he said that it needed a checkup too.

Breakfast of Champions

My mom was making conversation with Demitri this morning and asked him what he had for breakfast. He had eaten a Nutri Grain bar and a banana. His reply...............

Demitri: Sausage and penis

Nanma: Sausage and peanuts?

Demitri: NOOOOOOO, sausage and PENIS

LMAO, well ... my mom thinks it is cute that when she changes his clothes or diapers she always tells him to protect his "sausage" from Firetruck. Well, the kid made a joke and it was actually pretty funny. I think he is gonna have his fathers dirty sense of humor.

Get Well Gracie

Our good friend Gracie has been fighting breast cancer in the most courageous way. She just recently had surgery so Demitri made her a card. I provided the stickers but everything else was all him. I think he did a FAB job!

D and I love you Gracie and are so proud of you. You are so brave and an awesome woman!

Some Manly Stuff

Demitri and my dad are BFF's. They love to do boy things together like play with tools and dig and talk about things that I don't understand. My dad has really been a wonderful support for Demitri since Joe has left and I will never be able to thank him enough. Demitri LOVES construction. Loves does not really explain his obsession with all things construction. He has a DVD about a construction site and he knows most of the names of the trucks and he just LOVES trucks and dirt and rocks. There is a new Home Depot being built not too far from us. My dad has been taking D to the site every Saturday to monitor the progress. The second picture is them looking in at the Home Depot. That day a digger drove over to them and lifted the bucket with rocks in it and waved to them. The third picture is D showing me what happened when he got home that day. D is still talking about it. D treasures his time with Pa. Thanks Pa! We love you.


Demitri and the "Eazy Bunny"

Demitri was very excited to see the Easter Bunny or as he calls him the Eazy Bunny. He had a bunch of goodies to show the bunny including a Santa ornament , a backhoe and last years picture. I dont know what happened, he was smiling until the moment he sat on the seat.

Haircut #2= Success

The haircut went much smoother this time. Demitri remember where we were going. He remembered the cool train set and he remembered Jessica, who is so good with him and who I really like. I also think she does a good job on his hair. He cried a little bit but we brought his own DVD from home so he watched his construction dvd and was happy. He actually stayed in the firetruck this time.

900 Days Old

We did not do anything special like somebody (Jess) I know but I tried to take a picture at the exact time of his birth (7:37pm) and I missed it by 5 minutes. He was enjoying a late night snack of turkey and cheese.

Wish Us Luck

We are going in for haircut #2 tomorrow. The last one was a disaster, D cried the whole time. Fingers crossed that tomorrow is smoother. Will update with pics afterwards.

Word Cloud

Thanks Margaret for this cute idea. I had this word cloud made from the most common words in my blog at www.snapshirts.com

Playing in the Jungle

Demitri has named the patch of dirt and trees in the backyard his jungle. He likes to spend as much time as possible digging in his jungle. D requested the gloves because he does not like to get his hands dirty.
The man in the second pic is Uncle Jeff (Joe's bro).



OMG! Too embarrassing.

I can't bring myself to write what he is describing here. If you want to know just message me and I will tell you the story.

Demitri Teaches Firetruck To Drive

They really do go everywhere together.


Demitri's 1st Shot Behind The Lens

D decided that he wanted a turn at taking the pictures. After so many months at behind the one in front of the lens he decided that he wanted to be the one in control. I think that he did a pretty good job for his first try.

Gratitiude Week 3: Musicals

My mom took me to see Wicked for my birthday. I have always loved musicals and this was no exception. Wicked tells the story of Elpheba, the future Wicked Witch of the West and her relationship Glinda, the Good Witch of the North. The story will make you laugh, cry and leave you wanting to see it again. It is playing indefinitely here in LA so if you get a chance you should go and see it.
