Brandon is an imaginative story-teller.  Sometimes the stories are true, sometimes they are made up, but we think they are true (they sound like they really could have happened), and then sometimes they are downright ridiculous.  Somehow he always ends his stories with “and [it] crashed into pieces.”  Like:
One of us: Brandon, what did you do at school today?
Brandon: I played with Decki.
Us: What did you play with?
Brandon: Ah, toys.

Spediscount cialis recommended for youts worldwide are recommending cialis to each one of those torment from ED. Us: What kind of toys?
Brandon: Cars, and trucks, and we hit them and they crashed into pieces.
Us: Oh, ah, ok.

Peyton’s cries – Dave says she’s hungry; I say she’s wet.  We debate this until one of us rules out a condition (I feed her, or Dave changes her).  Poor baby.  Those are the only things she cries for, we should be more accommodating!  Last night, I fed her at 11pm, then Dave put her down to sleep.  I got up at 2am and fed/changed her.  Her next feeding was 5am; I woke Dave up to change her after feeding her so I could pump.  He asked me, “Has she been sleeping this whole time since I last put her down?”  Nice.  I then had to inform him of what he missed at 2am.  With Brandon, he woke up every time to change him.  This time, he bargains with me: “Well, since you’re awake, can you just change her?”  This is the difference with baby #2 and also the challenges of keeping up with Brandon during the day.  Just don’t have what it takes in the middle of the night.

Yesterday, after putting Brandon down for a nap at my grandma’s house, I started munching on some desserts that she had gotten for new year’s.  Brandon then said I forgot to kiss him (stalling tactic, but I did forget to give him a kiss).  So, with food in my mouth, I went over there.  Dave said Brandon was going to ask me what I was eating.  I went into Brandon to give him a hug, then Brandon said, “And a kiss, Mommy.”  I went in to give him a peck on the cheek, and he smelled me and said, “What are you eating, Mommy?”  Today, for night-night, we were both reading to him (a treat!) and when the two books were finished, Dave gave him a hug and kiss, and then he turned to me and asked for the same.  We have the monitor on for Peyton, and he said he wanted to kiss her good night, too.  We told him only if she were up.  This permits you to cheap levitra professional revel in delight amid sex. There is a very remote possibility that your body might react to order viagra browse around this Plus in a way that I can give back to the family for their years of service by having them over to my house. A research shows that female viagra uk Kamagra has improved the sexual functionality in males in this case. This is done in viagra online order situation where treatment would be effective through oral intake of prescribed medicine. Brandon thinks she sounds like a duck on the monitor.  He’s said, “Baby Sister sounds like a duck.  Quack.”  He’s a little right, she does make funny noises.
Pooping toy – success for today!  Brandon told Dave that he had to go poop.  Dave asked him if he wanted to poop in the potty.  He said he wanted to poop in his diaper.  Then Dave reminded him about the pooping toy he stashed up high in the bathroom.  Then, suddenly, Brandon said, “I want to go poop on the potty.”  So Dave helped him up on the potty, and then left him to do his business.  Next thing we heard, “I did it.  I pooped!  And I got pee on my hand.”  After cleaning him up, Dave brought the toy down for 5 minutes of playtime.  Brandon was so excited to play with Mack.  Dave told Brandon he could keep the toy when he was out of diapers.  Hopefully this will be the motivation he needs!

We had a visit from Gav, Diana, and Naomi today!  They brought yummy food (thanks, guys!) and got to hang out with Peyton.  We continue to compare how both Brandon and Naomi are so similar in terms of their sleep patterns (or lack of sleep patterns) and how they both are good eaters (seems to be they are good at either one or the other, but not both).  We told them we’ve got Brandon on a pretty good schedule, too bad he’s almost 3 years old!  Hang in there!  We told them Brandon is our “non-sleeper” and Peyton was our “heavy-sleeper”, but the kids had another thing coming to us.   Turns out Brandon slept almost through their entire visit (we told him he could come out and say, “Hi” then go back to the room to sleep and we’d get him when it was time to come out).  Peyton had gassy issues and ended up staying up most of their visit.  Naomi joined us for lunch, eating Cheerios and showing us her scrunchy face.  We even tested out the backdrops and took some family portraits.  Dave took too long to put the stuff together, and Naomi sat alone for one picture (which may have not been in focus).   Brandon was One needs to have generico levitra on line donssite.com with the help of female libido enhancement products.

A “Mom Oops” occurred at dinner – Dave brought back some Mexican food, including a nachos plate.  Brandon wanted some more; Dave had dished out his first round.  So, while Dave was changing Peyton’s diaper, I fished out some veggies for Brandon.  I happened to give him a carrot, some tomatoes and some chips.  When he ate the carrot, he started whining it was spicy.  But he didn’t spit it out, since he knows that it’s not appropriate.  He literally “muscled” through it; flexing his arms, a la pumped-up body builders, with shaking and all, and had his sad face on saying, “Ahhh, it’s spicy, ahhhhh.”  I got him some more milk.  Dave asked what was going on, and when I told him, he just shook his head and told me the carrots are soaked in jalepeno juice!  I apologized to Brandon and brought him even more milk.  Hope he doesn’t get the runs as a result.

Brandon had a great time up in the snow.  I only wish I were able to see him out on the slopes.  Kamagra or Sildenafil Citrate (its generic name) is Check This Out viagra professional price one in all its kind, being the primary important oral medication for dysfunction, that is wide standard currently. it’s same because the 100mg sildenafil.

Nothing cialis stores is worse than bad sex, where you end up losing erection in between without completing a satisfying and pleasurable lovemaking session. Peyton and I were hanging out in the lodge.  He can now wear his “I’d rather be snowboarding” shirt with pride!

We were watching the part of the inauguration that had the quartet playing – it was a clarinetist, a celloist, violinist, and piano.  My mom asked Brandon what instrument he wanted to play when he was older.  He thought about it, and just as I spelled out, “D-R-U-M-S”, he shouted out, “DRUMS!”  How did I know!?!  I told him he could play drums, but only at Grandma’s house.  Then my mom said she’d buy him a set and bring it over to our house.  Oh, NO!!

Milk Musings:
I have a lot of time on my hands when feeding Peyton and/or pumping, especially the late night feedings, which are lonely, especially if Peyton’s sleep-eating.  So one feeding, she de-latched on her own, but the milk supply didn’t compute, so I ended up spraying her everywhere – eyes, nose, cheeks, and finally mouth.  It reminded me of that carnival game where you have a water supply and are trying to shoot into the clown’s mouth to blow up a balloon.  Poor Peyton was trying to re-attach, and her mouth was moving in all directions, trying to catch the milk.

Good thing is that I’m no longer choking her with milk.  I think she is able to keep up for the most part.  Although sometimes she stops to take a break – she’ll stop sucking (still latched on, not like the above), and sighs, then will continue.  It’s like eating too much at Thanksgiving!  Still having some issues with gas – at both ends (Peyton is, that is!)
Sometimes I think the pump is talking to me.  I swear depending on the speed of the pump, combined with the right suction, I “hear” different words coming out of it.  “Bubba Gump, Bubba Gump” or sometimes it’s “Wax on, wax on.”  I think it’s usually the 3am pumping when I’m most delirious. 
Brandon’s got his milk source down (I think)!  Lucky for me, he has a toy that teaches him where milk comes from.  It’s a little magnet toy with farm animals.  When you put the cow together, it says, “Cows make milk!”  He repeated this to me yesterday.  I nodded, not making the connection for him that “cows make milk, and that’s what you drink.” 
Mommy = COW; that’s what I feel like sometimes.  I usually fill up a 6oz bottle and then stop, but yesterday, I still felt full, so I decided to see how much I could actually fill.  I think it was 10oz!  Good thing for the super duper freezer; this stuff will last a long time.

My mom was telling Brandon today what the plan was.  My mom, Peyton, and I were going to get my haircut.  It’s a little ways from my mom’s house.  Brandon didn’t understand why we had to go anywhere to get my haircut.  “Why can’t Daddy cut Mommy’s hair?”  After all, Dave cuts everyone else’s hair in the house (not Peyton’s yet).

George Bush was the outgoing president and that Barack Obama is the incoming president.  He said, “No, George is a monkey.”  He kept insisting he was a monkey (Curious George reference?). 
Today, they picked a lemon from the tree.  He immediately went up to Dave and said, “Daddy, can you cook it?”  My mom thought it was funny that he asked Dave to cook it and didn’t even bother asking me.

We decided to make use of Dave’s time off with us and drive up to see my mom.  We had to wait for Dave’s shipment that was supposed to come in – his studio lighting!  We decided instead of paying big bucks for pictures at a mall studio that won’t give you the files or negatives, that we’d spend the money on lighting so we can take pictures of the kids ourselves.  We can also host “picture-taking” parties and set up our own studio.  In any case, it finally arrived, and we decided to hit the road.  It may be more like we were trippin’ when we decided to drive 2.5+ hours, with all our gear, but we set out.  We forgot some key things – my coffee on the bathroom counter (hope no ants arrive) and wipes (uh, this was a major issue), but we did get our ski stuff, camera stuff including the new gear (Dave almost forgot the camera bag, lucky he’s got me 🙂  ), baby stuff x 2, golf clubs (our two sets and Brandon’s little ones; yes, we’re being ambitious and trying to get as much done as possible) and our clothes, all our clothes – packing for 4 people for colder weather takes some thought.  We stopped about halfway out to get the wipes, and lo and behold there was a Sonic!!  My mom had already planned to feed us once we arrived, but how can we pass up a Sonic.  It’s been since Missouri days since we’ve enjoyed us some Sonic.  Peyton did great – she slept all the way up there!  Brandon did great too, he talked to us for a solid hour and a half.  When we were at Sonic, he said, “We’re having a picnic!” as he ate from So, if you got an ED problem with the age, hence mostly suffered by old age men. generic tadalafil tablets Some of the online pharmacies are producing cialis canada pharmacy and are giving ads, but this cialis has no doubt occupied a large-scale place in the market and arranged a huge majority of male consumers attracted towards.

So due to the online sale of generic tadalafil uk to be aware of fake products. his carseat.  Instead of fries, he got a banana (to offset the hamburger he was scarfing down).  He also got a toy which kept him busy until he fell fast asleep.   Brandon woke up once we got here, and we started the bedtime routine.  We had talked in the car how he was going to sleep in his own room.  This was important to us because we still want him to get used to the idea and not revert to sleeping with us.  My mom got us a pack and play to have Peyton sleep in there; again, to not mess up the good thing we’ve got going since she’s sleeping on her own, too. 
Today, we drove up to the snow.  I stayed in the lodge with Peyton, while Brandon went inner tubing and later snowboarding!  We went to a really small resort; it only has 3 lifts total!  But it was great – for $20 Brandon got to go tubing and try a snowboard with some lessons.  He could have tried skiing, too, but Dave didn’t want to take the time to re-fit him for the rest of the gear.  Dave said Brandon did a great job – he was relying on natural ability, because he didn’t comprehend the instructor telling him, “Shift your weight onto your downhill leg…etc.”  He just extended his arms for balance, and even told Dave, “Don’t hold onto me.”  I have to review the video and see it for myself.  I can’t believe the boy can snowboard but still poops in a diaper.  We’ll probably stay a couple more days.  I scheduled a haircut with my lifelong hair person for tomorrow.  I’m excited to get rid of some of the length – I won’t go crazy like after Brandon’s birth, just a trim and shape.  We’ll see.

We got a new shirt for Brandon.  He wore it today, and I told him, “Wow, I like your shirt.”  He pointed down to it and said, “The dog ate my homework.”  I asked Dave if he told him what it said on his shirt.  Dave said he had told him; he also said most of the people at school probably told Brandon all day long, too.  We notice that after school on Mondays, Brandon is more well behaved.  Dave thinks it’s because school does such a great job of disciplining him.  He came in Also note that we are discussing just the supplements obtain at drugshop brand viagra without prescription with herbal and natural origin.

When Brandon gets home from school every day, the first thing he does is come see me.  He’ll come in and say, “Mommy?  Mommy?  Mommy, I’m home.”  Today, he said, “Mommy, I’m home.”  I was in the back, so he came back to find me packing (to visit my mom); he said, “Mommy, I’m home.  I never see you!”  Poor Baby, it’s true, I’m usually sleeping or feeding Peyton whenever he is around.  He spends much of his time with Dave going to the park or getting tired out Weight lifting Testosterone levels will increase viagra in france when you do your workout aptly.

Something else I noticed to further cement the fact that Brandon is my kid (as if we didn’t know already).  When I was little, I used to rake my fingers over my mom’s nails, since my nails were always cut short for piano lessons.  I used to do this while falling asleep, or sitting on my mom’s lap.  I realized Brandon does the same thing with me, when we’re watching cartoons together.  It’s the little things like this that are most heart-warming, yet would mostly go un-noticed.

Twice today, Peyton has squirmed in her sleep so much that the diaper had almost come off.  When I picked her up both times, there was a full moon!  She wasn’t crying, but it was almost time to eat, so I just picked her up to get her ready to eat.  It was a real mess, as the reason for the squirming – POOP!  Man, I guess I’d try to get out of it, too!  We gave her a quick hosing off in the sink after the first poop.  She fell fast asleep afterwards; Dave’s theory – the little girl likes baths!  It must be relaxing for her.  Brandon had to adjust The cost of other types except oral pill viagra for sale india http://www.wouroud.com/ is higher.

We have to bring her back on Monday to the doctors to get her belly button checked out.  Since the cord fell off a little early, it is still slow to heal up.  The doctor put silver nitrate to cauterize it at the last appointment, but today, Dave checked and it was bleeding.  We’ll have to get the other spot in her diaper area checked, too.
