The whistler

Sorry this video is grainy, it was taken with my circa 1998 phone, but it was too funny to pass up!
One day O, was making these funny noises and I asked what he was doing, and he said whistling. It is just too funny not to post!

It still makes me laugh!

A nickel for your thoughts

Remember a few posts back when I said how Owen was our "trouble child?" Well here is MORE proof!

That would be a foreign body aka a penny to Owen and what the Dr. thinks is a Nickel.

I was driving to my church for a night of enlightenment on dutch oven cooking when I got a phone call from Nate asking me what our pediatricans number was. THAT IS NEVER A GOOD WAY TO START A CONVERSATION WITH YOUR WIFE. Especially when said husband is a doctor himself.

He told me Owen had possibly swallowed a coin while playing with Liam's piggy bank.

I turned around, so I could help with one of the kids and Owen decided he wanted me to take him to the hospital after the ped. office said we needed to get his chest x-rayed to make sure the coin was in the stomach and not stuck along the way.

After a 2.5 wait, one X-ray later, you can see that he really did swallow a coin, and now it's the wait and see game, but was told that kids can pass quarters even.

My favorite part of the story was when Liam asked me when he was getting his coin back and I told him that Owen was going to poop it out and he might not want it back. He started to cry, so I made him a deal. He could have one of my coins as a replacement.

Anyone want a sweet but active, mischievous little 3 year old for a few days???

He knows now that coins are to be in his hands and pockets only!

Here is the phone video we took while in the ER to let Liam know that he was ok, and said quarter was ok...

Owen vs the blue marker

Owen has been what you would like to call our trouble child. He likes to make messes, get dirty and do the opposite of whatever you tell me to do or not to do.

Here is said example:

Lets not forget what he was wearing.

I have to say I am impressed with the washable markers. It ALL came out. Owen looked a little smurf-ish the rest of the day, but other than that, not the worst thing he's done to date.

NoNo

I thought this was funny and needed to be documented. First, today I went to the post office to mail a birthday package to my niece, I explained why we were going to the post office and that they were going to ship the package to her.

When we got to the counter Liam looks at the guy and says, "Now are you gonna fly this package to Camie's house?" I couldn't help but laugh!

Second, when you ask Owen to say Liam he calls him NoNo? I don't know if that's how he hears it, or if that's what he hears me say the most to him, so I guess that his new nick name is NoNo.

Owen's theme...

No need for an explanation, (and yes he is sitting on top of a table and this is how I found him...)

A pirate says...

I was getting Liam ready for school today and Owen walked out
wearing this.

Liam LOVES to dress up and I think Owen is picking up on that. I'm telling you this kid has an old soul and I love every bit of it. He keeps me laughing, crying and screaming No NO NO (which is one of his new favorite words.)

I have a bunch to post about but will have to get to that later this week. So enjoy this for now!
