1st Dentist Visit for Big D!!

I took Dalton for his first Dentist visit today. I really want to make sure we are doing everything right for his teeth. Darrel & I have bad teeth so we want to make sure Dalton does not go thru what we have with fillings & such. He did great. They were so nice & he has 16 teeth & the 2 year molars should be coming within 3 months. Then we are done with teeth issues for awhile. He said that Dalton's teeth looked great. So we are headed in the right direction with him on the Dentist front!

2nd birthday party plans!!

OH my I did not know how hard planning a kids party would be. I want to take him to the jumping place but it is rather expensive for a 2 year old party. So I am really thinking about just having it here at the house. I want to do the Thomas the Train theme. Dalton just loves trains!! Too bad I can't bring in a real train (ha ha). Nothing too big for my boy. So if anyone has any suggestions I would love to hear them!! I have just 2 months to plan & execute!!

Wasp Sting!

**UPDATE** Dalton is doing much better today. His foot looks good! You can still see where the wasp stung him but he feels no pain from it. What a trooper! OH MY GOODNESS my POOR little BOY stepped on a wasp this evening! OH was it horrible for both boy & mom!! It stung him between the toes! Dumb wasp. At first we did not know what happened. We were getting him ready for bed when he walked towards our room it must have flown in when we had the door open today going in & out. We did not see it & neither did Dalton. He came screaming & hopping over to us & I thought he might have stepped on a pin or something. We finally got a look at his foot & saw the sting. It took awhile to calm him down & take care of the foot. His little foot turned red & his toe swelled up. So we fixed him up & let him stay up awhile to make sure he was not allergic. Now he is in bed sleeping it off. Poor baby! POOR MOMMY!! My first real trauma. We have had a busted lip but this was much worse. I need some sleep now too!

Fun Birthday Party!

Wow Dalton got to go to a fun birthday party yesterday. One of his playgroup buddies turned 2 yesterday. There was a petting zoo & pony rides. At first Dalton did not want to ride the pony but after awhile playing with the animals in the petting zoo he got comfortable. He actually rode the pony. He was so cute!! You know that has got to be scary for them being they are so little & the animal is so big. I can't wait to have his 2nd birthday party. Still in the planning stages!! Thinking jumping place or maybe even little gym where he used to go!

Swimming Lessons!!

***UPDATE***: Today the teacher said that he might move up in late September early October. She will let me know in mid September. WOW my little fish!! Dalton is doing great at swimming. He has been in since the first of July. We are going to keep him in until November then start him up after the first of the year. He was only in the first class 2 times then they moved him up. He will move up to the class where I will be outside when he turns 2. He is great at getting the rings off the bottom of the pool. He can even float on his back for a short time. He is a fish at heart. I think having a pool in the backyard helps too. We have had so much rain lately we have not swam in our pool in over a week! We are getting restless!! We have to get all we can in before it gets cool!

Fish Fry!!

We had a fish fry today. BOY was the fish good. Dalton liked it too. I was surprised because he does not want to eat much these days. Darrel had went fishing with some friends & they caught lots of fish. We had Flounder today. He fried it with some french fries & hush puppies. Grandma, Grandpa & Great Grandpa came over to enjoy the fish. Then we hopped in the pool to cool off. Hats off to Daddy for a great lunch!!

Down at the Boardwalk!!

Wow was it HOT at the Boardwalk!! It was about 100 degrees but felt like about 110 degrees! We took Dalton & his big sister Laura down for some fun by the water & rides. We rode the train & a couple of other rides. Dalton only liked the train. The other 2 rides were to much for him. He does not like the ones that moves around allot where he feels out of control. The train is like a car so he is OK with it. He loved the train. We ate at Joe's crab shack & went to the Aquarium. He loves the fish. Here are some pictures from our fun family day!
