Mushroom Head and Other Silliness

Dev received all sorts of equipment in the last couple of days, and has been slowly sorting through it and packing it all away. He's also been treating his uniforms with insecticide, which is fun fun fun, as you can imagine.

Here's a picture of Dev in his Mushroom Helmet. Sorry it's not a very good pic. Cheapo digital cameras are nice, but aren't up to my camera's standards. Good for quick things like this, though.



He had an interesting morning today. On his way to PT, he blew a tire when he hit a pothole. So, instead of exercising this morning, he got to go to Wally World to get new tires and an oil change. Apparently all the tires had steel showing. *winces*

DC has been particularly odd today. He has been carrying his Teddy around and demanding Snake Juice for more than just going to sleep. He even demanded that Teddy have his own Snake Juice bottle. Luckily, he accepted the idea that teddies drink pretend juice, and an empty bottle was fine for that.

For those of you who don't know, Snake Juice is DC's special bottle. It's one of the ones that have a bend in it to help keep air out of baby tummies. Since it has a "curve" he decided it looked like a snake. It was very confusing the first few times he requested it, as you can probably imagine. Kinda like "Gold, with cheese, an' you eat it." That's DC speak for omelet.

From the looks of things, I'm not going to get DC into a daycare. Had to cancel the Child Development Center (CDC - Am I the only one who finds that acronym, and it's association with the Center for Disease Control, humorous?) today because DC's old doctor never sent up any of his records. Not even the shot record. May have to go home to TN just to argue with them in person. Yes, I know, I went to Knoxville at Christmas to pick up his records. Didn't realize until it was too late that the hospital didn't have a copy of the shots. *rolls eyes* I hate bureaucracies.

VBS starts next week, though. He should enjoy that.

Brian, for his part, as been very almost two today. He has an irritation, and so I left his diaper off for a little bit. He's apparently decided that he enjoys the freedom and has come running to me with a naked butt about 3 times in the last half hour. Now, if he'd only go to sleep... (Very much not holding my breath on that one.)

Dev and I are discussing when to take DC to see the new Harry Potter movie. If Dev does have parts of next weekend off, we'll go then. As it stands now, I'm the meanest Mommy in the world because the extras disk in the Chamber of Secrets box is obviously Harry Potter: P'isn'r of Ice-a-band and out of pure spite I won't let him watch it.
