Purse
Okay, I am copying my friend's Kristen's blog on this one....she listed out what was in her purse a few months ago..I was laughing, thinking are you kidding me? UNTIL..I cleaned out my purse. This is what I found:
NO wallet
NO sunglasses
Kaitlyn's headband
a pen that barely works
empty ziploc bag
list of pediatricians from Children's Hospital
Anderson's shorts
pic of Ryan from Chuck E Cheese
hairbrush
toy car
lip gloss
sunglass case holder (still with no sunglasses)
Anderson's socks
hairtie x 2
Advil
toothpaste
tooth cleaner (for my braces)
hairclip
diaper
pic of a volunteer dog from Children's Hospital
empty raisin container
empty cracker wrapper
floss
lego man
toothbrush
more crackers
hairtie for me (opps, this now makes 3, I think)
Peanut Butter Crackers - crumbled to pieces (or actually powder)
2 more pens
My headband
** all of the above listed as found ;)
HA! Who knew this would all fit in my little purse (not a diaper bag, purse!)

Ryan Puke update
Okay...well, Ryan's no puking streak has come to an end. Today, Nov 26th at midnight...he had his 1st puke. He made it to our bathtub (yes, bathtub...but, hey, I'll take it...easy to wash down!) And, why am I complaining? My SWEET hubby handles the pukes while he is home b/c I puke right next to the kids while they are puking, I puke...can't handle it! I am hoping by the time they are...oh, lets say 18,I can handle it!
PS - Kaitlyn ended up with it too. The end weekend count was :Anderson 10 AM Saturday, Kaitlyn 1 AM Sunday, Ryan 12 AM Monday, oh yeah...and then Anderson again 5 AM Monday (not sure what that was about!)

SNOW IS WHITE
Everyday Kaitlyn dresses herself. I have to say, she does quite a great job. Sometimes it gets a little "wild", but for the most part, just great. Well, last week, she got dressed for school wearing a pink and white skirt, white shirt, white socks, etc. She wanted to wear her WHITE SHOES with the outfit. (For those not checking, it is WAY past Labor Day!) I tell her that white shoes are not meant to be worn in the winter, those shoes are Easter shoes, and we wear them in the Spring Time.....winter we wear black. Kaitlyn looks right at me ands says, "But Mom, SNOW is WHITE, I do not understand WHY I can't wear WHITE shoes in winter time".
Well, then Kaitlyn, you have made a very VALID point...go ahead, wear your WHITE shoes to school today ;)

Signing
This is incredible.....
We have been trying to teach Anderson sign language for about 6+ weeks now. The therapists want me to only give him a few pieces of food at 1 time so that he is forced to ask for "more". So we have been signing more with him. Last week, Char was in NY, the kids and I sat down for lunch together. I gave A only a few pieces of grilled cheese. RYAN actually noticed A's tray was empty. Ryan asked Anderson "Do you want more little buddy?" (As Ryan says this, Ryan is signing "more" to him). WOULD YOU BELIEVE that ANDERSON signed more RIGHT BACK TO RYAN?? Kaitlyn, Ryan and I were SCREAMING with delight. IT was wonderful. Makes me teary thinking back to that moment. It was terrific!
The following day, I was leaving Children's Hospital with Anderson. He had a sippy cup in hand. I had to take it to buckle him in the car seat. He started screaming. I said, "A, tell Mommy MORE". ( I DID NOT SIGN IT THIS TIME). Next thing I know, Anderson is signing more to me!! HOLY COW, I was THRILLED!!!

New Tricks
Anderson has SO many new tricks since I last wrote. I am going to try and remember them all and make a list:
1) Climbs on our child chairs in the playroom, stands up, turns to you, you say "1, 2, 3 JUMP" and he will jump to you
2) Saying "Da, Da"...very clear, loud (thru the grocery store), and 2 Das together
3) Points to a dog and says "D", "D", "D"
4) SIGNING MORE!!!! That is another blog entry to come!
5) "Walks" up the stairs while someone supports his trunk (he takes these BIG steps up ech stair)....always with a HUGE smile!
6) Tries to climp the ledge in our family room
7) Floats at swim lessons for more than 10 seconds (it is actually long time)...he screams while he does it, but he floats!
8) Turns pages in a book
9) Starting to "release" toys into a bucket
All I can think of now. Will add more later if I think of them.....But, LOTS of new things going on around here!

1st Pukes
Okay, I have been VERY behind on my blog. LOTS and LOTS of great stories to catch up on. The 1st for tonight is our day today. Whew. Poor little Anderson. His 1st stomach flu. Poor honey woke up from a morning nap with it all over his bed and himself. then, continued about 6-7 more times. Finally went back down for another nap, and woke up ready to go and ready to eat. Had to be careful what we fed him. Funny how a 16 mo does not understand that ;)
Note that Kaitlyn was over 3 before she had her first pukes. Ryan TO DATE has NEVER puked!! WHEW! LUCKY
