Boston graduated from Terrific Tots at the Little Gym yesterday. I was such a proud Momma. He did fabulous. He did his entire floor routine in front of all the parents. He wasn't the best in the class and not the worst (one kid just sat down and cried and wouldn't do his routine at all. Boston did great!) He actually sang the songs most of the time and did a lot of the actions. He was so excited to get his medal and certificate! Yesterday was one of the best days I have had in a long time. I felt like Asperger's/Autism left us for a day. Boston got his hair cut in the morning with no complaints. He played well with Holden, went straight to Little Gym graduation, then looked for bugs with the neighbor boys while I sat on the lawn with the Momma's! That's right I got to sit on the lawn and he stayed right with the boys for a good 20 minutes at least! He then went on a walk with our neighbor Erin and a bunch of the boys around the block. They found some bugs and Boston shook his bug catcher and then dumped his beetle out and squished it and the other boys thought it was so funny that they wanted to shake up and squish their bugs too! After that his friend Taft came over to play and they had so much fun playing at the park, riding their bikes around the block and playing in the hose. Taft started crying when his Mom came to pick him up because he didn't want to go home!

We welcomed a new cousin/nephew this past week. Boston was excited/nervous to see baby Grafton. He told me he was scared he would hurt him, but I talked him into holding him and he was such a proud cousin! He was concerned when Grafton's lip would quiver and he kept telling me to warm him up! Jocey hated the whole thing and threw herself on the ground and cried. (That's our girl!) Congrats to Kelli, Lyman and Taylor!
We got a trampoline and the kids have had so much fun with it. Boston keeps wanting to sleep out on it so he brought out a blanket and pillow one afternoon and pretended to watch a movie and sleep on the tramp. Jocey had other plans and just started wrestling. She is a tough little sucker... watch out boys!


It's suppose to finally be summer with the crazy weather we've been having so hopefully we can sleep on the tramp soon. I love summer and could have 90 degree weather year round! I have to throw some of the funny/strange things Boston has been saying lately because he says the craziest things! He keeps pointing over to the field by Lowe's and saying "Winnie died" in a sad voice and then he says "she smelled a stinky skunk and Daddy had to give her a bath. " He will randomly tell me all the time "It was fun at your birthday party Mom." Although if you ask him if he wants a birthday party he screams "NO!.. No friends No Birthday Party!" (He's getting one anyway whether he thinks he'll like it or not!) He randomly throws out "We love Snuggles" all the time and always wants Snuggles to sleep in his bed. He is always telling people to "Follow Directions!" or "you need to work for your _____(prize)" He'll tell me "Good job working for your bicycle Mom or good job working for your golf clubs Dad" when we eat our dinner. Jt asked Boston if he wanted to play baseball the other night. He shouted "No!" When I asked him "Why?" he said "It's too scary, it might hit me in the eye!" Man I love that boy! Jocey still says nothing.. eats lots of Popsicles, never sleeps and dumps everything in her path!
