He just keeps going, and going, and going!!!!

Wow!!!! It has been a long time since I updated!!!! I assure you we are all still very much alive and doing well. Our days are filled with trucks, balls, stories, bubbles, and of all things Mario!!! Yes Mario. My two year old is addicted to Mario Kart and as of the last week he is now addicted to Mario Galaxy (flying Mario). It is the first thing he asks for in the morning and it continues all day. Of Course he can't actually play the game, so mom and dad get tortured. I don't think Dad minds as much as mom though;) Though that is what his number one request is, I can only take so much of it and we have had to limit the Wii time. It is getting nice outside, so we frequent the park, and we play outside with the bubble machine. Yesterday we went to the park and they have turned all the splash pads on!!!!! Yeah for water, boooo that it was too cold to play in it. This morning we got ready to go to the park, I had Trystan completely dressed and ready to head out the door. I was making his water and he comes running in the kitchen pantless with his swim trunks in the other hand telling me, suite mommy. It was only 60 degrees outside and still too cool to play in cold water. After fighting to get him dressed again and explaining for the nine hundreth time it was too cold to play in the water. We were finally on our way, but after Trystan screaming and spitting at me all the way to the buffalo exit to the butterfly park, mean mommy took park priveleges away for the day and we went to run errands instead. Maybe Friday we will make it to the park, and it is supposed to be 90 so we can play in the water. Trystan is getting so big and talking so much and so clearly too. He thinks its fun to tell Mikie and I to cry, the other day I told him no I was going to cry he raised his hand like he was going to slap me and said make you cry mommy! Seriously??? He gives the best hugs and kisses though. And he is the life of every party! We went to St. George Saturday for my Cousin's baby's blessing and Trystan had a group of about 10 people young and old alike surrounding him the entire time. He was sticking cars up his shirt saying booboo's his version of boobs!

We went to the speech therapist/feeding specialist a couple of weeks ago. She was amazing and got Trystan to eat things I never thought would be possible. She did not feel that Trystan needed continual therapy for his eating, but felt that his lack of interest in food and eating was a behavioral thing/ control thing! (which is what Mikie and I have thought the entire time). She gave me some great tips and tricks. We play lots of games at our dinner table these days, including puzzles, basketball, blowing bubbles and building towers, but they are working!!!!! Trystan is now eating three full meals a day when he is at home and at Grandma's!!!! Even better than that he is enjoying it, and gets so excited when he finishes his plate!

We went back to the GI specialist right after seeing the speech therapist and he still wanted to do an EGD to "make sure there were no ulcers in the esophagus" I scheduled it really apprehensively as it meant that Trystan would have to have an IV and be put under for the procedure. After talking to Mikie, I called and cancelled the procedure. Neither one of us feel that it is necessary at this point. Trystan has never had reflux problems or shown any symptoms of any kind of gastric ulcers. My mom came out the end of March for a week, so I took the week off and we headed to Utah. Trystan had so much fun playing with my cousin's little boy Torsten. Torsten is only a month older than Trystan and they had a blast. We stayed at my Aunt Margene's and they ran around playing race cars and motorcycles. My mom was letting them jump off the brick fire places, My child has no fear and I love the look on his face in this picture. Thanks for playing with us guys!!! Trystan is still walking around the house with my cell phone calling Torsten!!! ( We wished we lived closer!)

Torsten and Trystan even shared pretty good for the most part!!!

Look at this boy! He looks so big in this picture laying on the floor playing with the computer.

We also got to see all of my mom's sisters and Aunt Brenda drives a hummer!!!! One of Trystan's favorites, so of course she let him play in it!!! He was in heaven.

Uncle Monty's Chickens had baby Chicks that we got to go play with!!! They were so cute, but Trystan was not to sure about them, he thought they were cute from a distance, but did not want to hold them or touch them. Torsten was the complete opposite and wanted to hold them and pet them. It was fun to go to the farm and see the chicken's, cows, & chickee's!

Margene Farah and Torsten!

Trystan shying away from the baby chickee's!

Grandma and Trystan checking out the cows.

It fits him so well too he bounces around and has the energy of 12 tiggers!
