Pool Party

Thank you Jackie P for all the great pictures of the pool party at Ray's!! We had a great time. Ray, thank you for having us. (sorry for the dirty towel)
These were taken a couple week ago at our friend Ray's house. Derrick had a blast. He flirted with all the girls, and hung with the boys. He would give his new BFF Sarah CHEERS and tickle he toes.

UPDATE



OK we just got word that the house will be ready June 9. 3 WEEKS EARLY. After all the paper work is complete we should be able to get moving within two weeks after. Every other day I am getting another call to pick out something else. Today was door knobs. Sounds easy right??? There are 5 different finishes in half a dozen styles and to lock or not to lock. I love the lever knobs but did not think that would be ready to child proof when needed. So I have the levers on the closets and knobs on every thing else. The first coat of paint is on and looking ok. One of the colors is looking like it has a slight pink tint in it that I am not feeling but we will see when the second coat is on. I guess that $150 ultrasound money might have to do a color change.


Today was another quick trip to the DR. Nothing big to report. I gained 3 pounds this time and was told to get 2 on in two weeks. I still think this kid is just sucking all the fat off of me. The heart beat is back up to 155. We will go back in 2 weeks for the Diabetes test. Everything feels ok so I am not worried. I still mostly wear regular shirts and pants. I do wear the preggo clothes to work. Some days I look very preggers, others, not so much.



Derrick George is a hand full. He had some shots last week and the effects are hitting him now. Not much of an appetite and small fevers here and there. He has discovered the word no and MINE and loves to use them. His climbing skills are insane. Last night he managed to get on top of the hood of his power wheel Jeep. Look out PC Beach Spring break 2027.


He has begun to show interest in the potty. Last week he took his step stool from the bathroom to the hall, sat down and began to, how should I say it, make poo. I picked up a training potty and he made one pee in the potty. I cheated the system a bit. Just before the bath and we take the diaper off, he makes a pee. Most of the time it is in the tub or on the floor. So I took the diaper off and slapped his hiney on the potty and he did it, like clock work, pee pee in the potty. I yelled " Oh Sh#@!!!" scared the daylights out of the poor kid. We flushed the pee pee bye bye in the potty. Now every time I flush he comes running to say "bye bye" to the pee pee. By no means am I rushing the Little Man to become trained this fast, but if it happens I will keep on.


Thank you for reading all the boring text I will get some DG3 pics up soon.

Is this our child????

We have come to find out that this kid loves to clean. I have taught him to wipe up his tray, hands and mouth after he eats. Now he has noticed the I sweep and Swiffer the floors. He wants to jump in on the action so after breakfast, he pulls out the broom and goes to town. He helps take out the pots and pans out of the dishwasher too. Daddy and I are not the biggest fans of either but DG3 LOVES IT. The other night he pulled out the Swiffer and wanted to use it on the carpet. He was MAD and I mean MAD when I had to show him it should only be used on the floors. Don't ever pull a boy away from his Swiffer.

Enjoy.

Our First Swimming Adventure

Last weekend we headed south to visit Grandma. The car ride was for the most part great. I have to give a thank you to Sylvia for letting us borrow the DVD player for the car. Darn my kid loves a Baby Einstein DVD.
Anyway, Derrick George was able to go swimming. HE LOVES IT!!! He saw the pool and said "bath bath" so we kicked off the diaper and went for a dip. Man was that boy in heaven. Sunday we went to Derrick's Aunt and Uncle's house where Great Grandma Weena was in from Jamaica. Derrick George had a blast with his cousins Nicole and Michelle. They also had a pool and Derrick George got to take another dip. I know it has been a few weeks with the pictures, so I will give you all a fill. Have a great weekend folks. Thank you for reading.



















He has now figured out when he sees a camera to say CHEESE!!!

I AM MAD AS ALL GET OUT

I will make this short and sweet. The Fuel South/Flash Foods gas station on I -75 exit 18, 1201 N St Augustine Road had on one sign gas was $3.58. The Pump read $3.64. I went inside to pay for the $3.58 gas and was refused the price and was told that there was nothing that they can do about it.
YOU WANT TO BET????
THIS WAS ILLEGAL!!
DO NOT go to ANY FUEL SOUTH/FLASHFOOD AND SPEND YOUR MONEY. THERE ARE 150 LOCATIONS IN GA AND FL.
