You will have significant experiences. I hope that you will write them down and keep record of them, that you will read them from time to time and refresh your memory of those meaningful and significant things. Some may be funny. some may be significant only to you. some of them may be sacred and quietly beautiful. Some may build one upon another until they represent a lifetime of special experience. - President Hinckley

The Doodle Turns 2!

Holy smokes! It's been 2 years since he got here. I love this kid. He's a crazy one and probably more "normal" than all of my others in the way of getting into things, fighting back, and just being 2. He was so sick - vomiting and diharrea. His room was transformed . In fact on Monday (the day after this birthday) I took Dallin, Gwendalin, and Tyler to the pediatrician. I came home with 9 perscriptions. Today they are all feeling much better. I am pretty proud of myself, Dallin had birthday cake and got 2 presents which I spent a total of $10 on ( a great craigslist find!). Here are a few pictures of our small gathering.


While in "puke mode" the room looked like this....(below) garbage bags to catch the nastiness and all bedding removed except the sheet.










Here are a few things about Dallie Doodle at 2.
*He loves to scream (happy or sad, it makes no difference) - MaHm!
*He loves his siblings.
*He has the determiniation of 5 determined people....he WILL accomplish whatever he's trying.
*He has to be "tented" into his crib or he won't stay.
*He lays on the kitchen floor to have his milk - but his blanket must also be present.
*He adores being outside
*He loves riding bikes
*His giggle is contagious
*He likes to swing and swim
*He loves "seetza" (Pizza)
*We can't keep him in the house b/c he knows how to unlock every door.
*He loves to get in the fridge and smear yogurt on the carpet.
*He is cuddly.
*He hates nursery.
*When the vacumn is out - he wants to be using it.
*He speaks very well!
*His smile can melt you.
*He cries if mom or dad leaves and wants to go.
He's such a sweet baby. I am so glad he's mine!

I hope you feel better soon, I think you fly home today- love you too much- and that Dally, Maesyn kept hitting the screen and saying, "Dalnin!" (with her binky in her mouth, I'm sure you can just hear her!)
