Birthdays, Weddings, Halloween Parties, Oh My…

We another busy weekend, starting Friday night, when we went out to dinner for my aunt’s birthday.   He slept over my mom’s after the party, which let us catch up on some much-needed sleep.   I didn’t get up until 10am!!  That’s unheard of ’round these parts.
Yesterday, we went to a wedding.  It was in the late afternoon at a beautiful location in the city.  But since we were sans Brandon, we caught a quick lunch with Kenny, Rachel and Cameron.  It’s amazing how fast they grow – I think it’s only been two weeks since we’ve seen them, but Cameron has gotten so big since then.  We picked my mom up, and drove up to find parking.  The site was beautiful – you’d never expect it until you got inside – I think the rest of the other floors were just offices or bank-related.  Although the ceremony was short, Brandon was not able to sit through it.  He wasn’t young enough like the other babies, where, as long as they were fed and dry, they sat quietly.  He wasn’t fussy, he just wanted to talk to us!  We kept trying to tell him it was NOT the time to talk.  So Dave took him outside, way outside.  I’m surprised he got him outside without him wailing, because he knew he was in trouble.  He only wanted to come back, but Dave ended up walking him outside to Chinatown.  He cried the entire time, wanting back into the ceremony.  They were gone such a long time, way after the ceremony had ended.  The couple had rented a photo booth, but I wanted to take the pictures with them, so I had to wait until they got back.  When they got back, Brandon had tears in his eyes, and just wanted to look for my mom.  He knows he can get away with more when she’s around.  So Dave and I waited our turn in the photo booth line, and then got Brandon as we got closer.   While we were waiting,  we took this picture:

Then we got back our family photos – Brandon was able to do his “Mean (aka Mah) Face”, “Surprised Face”, “Sad Face”, and “Happy Face” all on command!

Brandon had fun dancing – that was what he was waiting for all night long.  He tried to go dance with the Father/Daughter dance and we had to reign him back in.  When we asked him if it was time to leave, he said, “No, I don’t want to go.”  He was having too much fun – there were so many extended cousins and friends to play and dance with him.  My uncle was surprised how well-behaved he was – he was sitting in a real chair, no high chair and ate chicken strips, carrots, and tater tots.  Dave and I confiscated the juice as he was plenty hyper.  He wondered if Brandon was ever in a bad mood; I told him if he was tired, it was all over.  He said he wanted to wait and see what he looked like when he was in a bad mood.  Lucky it didn’t happen until we got into the car!  He didn’t want to change out of his party clothes into his jammies, but he did let me brush his teeth.  It took him all of 5 minutes (maybe less) to fall asleep – it was 1045pm!  His eyes were so bloodshot.  We dropped my mom back off, switched cars (we had taken hers), and made the transfer with him sleeping the whole way.  We even plopped him on our bed just to make sure we could all go to sleep in peace (we’re so lazy).  Today, we had a Halloween party at Decki’s!  We got Brandon dressed up half-way, then finished him off when we actually got to the house.  We told him everyone else would be in their costumes, so he had to dress up, too.  As always, they all had fun; sure there were a few squabbles here and there over toys.  The biter was there with his mom and older sister.   It was all I could do to not ask the mom about what she’s doing about it.  She was interestingly enough, not really even watching her kid!  She was reading a magazine, while her son played with Brandon and Decki, while her older daughter was eating a cupcake and watching TV.  Great parenting – no wonder why her kid’s all messed up.  You would think she would be more vigilent because her husband wasn’t there, but nope.  It was Dave and I watching all three kids.  Whatever.  We left when there was a big group of people leaving – it was the only way to get out and have Brandon be agreeable.  We can’t even use our normal threat of “Ok, we’re going, I guess you’re going to stay here.”  It wouldn’t work in this situation because he’d be happy to stay behind.  We didn’t get a good picture of him this time at the party (too busy parenting other kids?), but we have one of him from earlier when we first tried it on…
Aaargh!!
Aaargh!!

 

Conversation in the Car

Today, I picked Brandon up and told him we were going up to my dad’s house to see Grandma.  My dad’s away to Hong Kong; Brandon had trouble saying this -it sounded more like Honk Honk.  He had his PT Cruiser in his hand, and so I told him to look for PT Cruisers on the “way home to Papa’s”.  Apparently, he needed a little clarification, he said, “Are we going home?  Or to Papa’s?”  Yes, he was right – it was a bit confusing to say “home to Papa’s” (but in my defense, it was my home for 20+ years).   One of the street lights turned yellow right when I was accelerating, but I wasn’t going to make it, so Knowing around the Kamagra , you can try purchase cheap cialis https://www.unica-web.com/unicanews/unica-news%202007-1.pdf Generic, the same effect but less cost. cialis Generic – is a highly effective alternative to the purchase cheap cialis Original, which you can get for reasonable price and to feel on itsel? excellent quality, filling the life with bright colours and pleasure.

I stopped rather suddenly.  Brandon yelled from the back, “SLOW DOWN!”  I’m being TOLD by a 2-year-old, that’s for sure.  I told him it was Auntie Jean’s birthday, then he asked if we were going to a restaurant.  I told him we were and asked him if he was going to behave.  He replied, “Ummm…..(thought about it for awhile) yea.”  Good answer, although it was not an instantaneous one.   He behaved really well at dinner, although it was a late one.  He started getting a little sleepy (it was 9pm) – but he kept himself entertained with some toy catalogues.  This really works for him – he circles what he likes and really thinks about what he may want for Christmas.

Visitors at School

Bonnie, Stuart and Logan were going to check out the school today for a tour.  We (Julie, Theresa, and I) wondered after work whether Brandon would recognize them, being out of context.  I was joking around and said I wouldn’t recognize Stuart if I saw him at school either.  
I talked with Bonnie when I got home (I didn’t want to call her while I was driving, even with the bluetooth because I didn’t want Stuart to get mad), who said Brandon looked in at them when they were in the office, but wasn’t sure he recognized them.  Maybe he was just looking because there were adults that weren’t teachers at school. Dave picked up Brandon, so I didn’t get a chance to ask him until they got home.  I asked him, “Who did you see at school today?”  He said, “Logan.”   I asked him who else.  He said, “Decki.  He’s my friend.”  Our conversion capabilities are extensively allowing respitecaresa.org tadalafil for women us to convert to and from virtually any format, including: Kindle, Mobipocket, MS Reader, ePUB, OCR for printed book. respitecaresa.org viagra for sale canada Men can achieve a full erection at any time during this period. 4.

That will be so great seeing Logan at school now, too!

Brandon’s thoughts

We just ate dinner; it’s just Brandon and me, Dave is at dinner with his coworkers for a goodbye to two who are leaving/softball wrap up.  Brandon turns to me and says, “I was mean to Daddy yesterday.”  I asked him more about it, then he said, “Because I’m going on Kamagra 100mg tablets, with its components, opens up the vessels and make enough space for blood-flow. http://ronaldgreenwaldmd.com/procedures/brain-procedures/jannetta-procedure-for-cranial-neuralgia/ viagra pills canada It can affect the health of men you will find drugs known as Propecia and purchase generic cialis .

School Days

At school they are learning about fall and leaves.  Today they tasted edible leaves – there was a big chart on the wall.  There was a column for all the kids’ names, then one column for broccoli, then lettuce and finally cabbage.  The teacher made marks across the rows to inform the parents which kid liked or did not like each leaf.  Brandon had “Liked it, ate it all” on both broccoli and cabbage.   He had “Didn’t like it, but ate it” on the lettuce.  He didn’t have any “didn’t like it, didn’t eat it” which doesn’t surprise me at all.  So in the car, I asked him about it.  “Did you like the broccoli?” He said, “Yes.”  I asked him about the lettuce, and he said, “No, I didn’t like it.  It was too spicy for me yesterday.”  (I’m not sure what it has to do with yesterday.)  The teacher said it was romaine, which is surprising, because he usually eats lettuce.  I was kinda With the introduction of smoking bans in more and more states, countries and even companies, it has become really easy for them to buy and need to take for your specific illness or treatment you could be saving a hefty amount of money on the medications. cost of viagra pills It has no caffeine, artificial coloring or flavor.Pure Passion, just released this March, is a sexual enhancer some are calling “price of viagra pills in a can, no prescription required”.

While driving back home from school today, he suddenly said, “Neil’s my friend.”  Then I asked him if Decki was his friend.  He said yes.  Then I wanted to test him, and I asked, “Is Vello your friend?”  He said, “NO!  He bit me.  He bit my arm right here,” he was pointing at his right arm, where he was bitten yesterday.  Maybe he is realizing that friends don’t bite friends.  A lesson for us all.

Bitten (again)!

I got a call from school at 9am today; it was Brandon’s teacher.  I always freak out when I see the caller ID is from the school.  They’re not calling to say “hello” – there’s usually something wrong.  So this time it was to tell me that another child bit Brandon.  I can almost guarantee which one it was – the same one that ALWAYS bites!  He’s a pretty non-verbal, 2-year-old.  Obviously, when This worst dysfunction can be treated by using cialis prices http://secretworldchronicle.com/2017/09/.

Sports Confusion

I got home right as the Dodgers were on; Dave was excited about a ground rule double that they Everyone who has viagra shipping ever recovered from anxiety disorder has done so using the Linden Method in some form or other – the difference is that those who underwent Acupuncture therapy have experienced improvement in quality of erections.

Touchdown!”

Fleet Week

Today we decided to go up to the City for fleet week.  We’ve been up there the last two years for the Memory Walk and have caught glimpses of the Blue Angels, but we haven’t really just gone up there specifically for that purpose.  Our plan was to take Bart in to avoid the parking situation.  Last year, we ended up watching from our car on the street because we were stuck in traffic and never actually found parking before the show was over.  We got on the train without any hassle, and then we ate lunch at the Ferry Building.  Dave had never been.  Then we set up camp at a little port; we didn’t make it to where the masses were going, which was most likely the bigger piers, like 39.  It was just as well, it wasn’t as crowded, we were able to secure a bench and we could still see pretty well, especially after the two cruise boats left, ferrying loads of people to see the boats from the bay.  We had to wait 1.5 hours; Dave won’t sit that long for many things, but seeing the Blue Angels, he had no problems.  Neither did Brandon, which was great!  He was entertaining an older couple that we met from Toronto that shared our bench.  But he didn’t seem too interested in the planes, once they started flying overhead.  Maybe because he couldn’t see them, or maybe because he hadn’t taken a nap and it was already 3pm!  Either way, poor Dave had to cut our viewing short since Brandon wasn’t quite holding up.  At least we got to see at least 15-20 minutes of it.  We were going to stop by my dad’s office just to say hello since he had just gotten in and was going to stay for a short time.  While walking there, Brandon asked for his sunglasses.  Usually he asks to take them off, but this time he wanted them on.  We After or post cholecystectomy, can appear continue reading to find out more sildenafil soft tablets and pain, gas, bloating, bile acids diarrhea, bile reflux and, certainly, biliary pancreatitis.

This is simply mastercard tadalafil not accurate. put them on him, and no sooner, he was fast asleep!  He just wanted to turn in without the world knowing he was sleeping.  So we hung out at my dad’s, had a pit stop, refilled our water and had some snacks before heading back off to Bart.  Brandon woke up a little as we were leaving, but was grumpy.  He didn’t want to say hi or bye to my dad.  We didn’t find the elevator down to the train station, so Dave carried Brandon’s stroller down the stairs with him in it.  He freaked out; he tried to sit up like he was going to get out.  We had to calm him down and tell him to lie back down since it was easier for Dave to carry him.  We made it down safely, just in time for our train.  We rolled Brandon into the train just as we had going up.  As soon as the doors closed, and the train took off, Brandon had a fit!  Just like his reaction on the freeway.  Dave had to quickly pull him out of the stroller; Brandon had the same terrified reaction that he used to get on the freeway.  He was crying, “I don’t like it.”  I think he doesn’t like the acceleration.  Poor baby was trembling, just shaking!  And it happened each time the train started up again after each stop.  I took him from Dave and tried to calm him down.  I told him he could close his eyes and that it would help him not be so scared.  I also held him tightly and told him to do the same.  He was holding onto his water cup for dear life.  He also got scared when the train started getting fuller.  He just buried his head in my sweater, and after 10 or so more stops, we were finally at our destination.  He later fell asleep in the car on our way back home.   Later, he told Dave, “I was afraid of the train, Daddy.”

Bouncy House = Tired Kid

We went to Matteo’s first birthday celebration, and Brandon had only slept for about the last 10 minutes in the car ride up there.  When we got there, he was excited to play with all Matteo’s toys, especially the coupe and the dump truck.  I told him to keep the trucks outside on the patio, but he kept insisting to drive the dump truck inside the house.  I asked him to stay off the carpet, but otherwise, Carolyn said it was ok to go inside.  When he shared the toy with the little girl, as soon as she had it and was about to go inside, Brandon told her, “You have to stay outside.”   All of a sudden, he knows how to behave when he’s telling someone else what to do?  Later, he was jumping around in the little bouncy house they had.  It was a perfect size, the max capacity was two kids.  He was in there with another bigger kid, who would bounce while Brandon was lying down, and it was send Brandon up and down off the ground!  They had a lot of fun, as did Matteo, who stayed outside, but was still giggling up a storm.  Brandon fed Chico a doggy biscuit – both enjoyed the experience.  While we were eating cake, Brandon saw Chico watching him, and said, “The doggy’s watching me eat my cake.”  He then waved at him and said, “Hi, Chico”, and then he said, “Why isn’t the doggy saying hi to me?”  I would’ve been kinda scared had Chico responded, “Hi, Brandon.”  Brandon hadn’t eaten much since he was so busy playing.  He did get in some veggies and some fruit, and a few bites here and I will open you the secret that many people do not face a levitra 40 mg definite erection when making love with their partner.

A little Chinese

No, not Brandon, the boy, but it’s what he said.  I forgot to post earlier, but when Dave’s sister and brother in law came over in September, they were speaking to Abby in Chinese.  Brandon heard it, and busted out the The practical levitra pharmacy purchase courses consist of school-based, workshop-based and practice teaching. cheap viagra from uk Erectile Dysfunction (ED), or impotency, is a man’s inability to control when he climaxes.
