Andy's Toy - No Daddy & Mommy's Boy

Since being at the theater for How to Train Your Dragon, John has been eagerly awaiting his next time to go to the movies. We figured Toy Story 3 looked like a good one to go to and so thought we'd start by watching Toy Story and Toy Story 2 before 3 comes out. John loves them, and needed to have his feet labeled too!

Ipotty

I know, I know, but really you have to see this as it's John's fav place to do this, he's certainly his father's boy :) So he has an Icom that connects his hearing aids via bluetooth to the Ipod, surely that makes this the Ipotty!

New Fridge - New Toy

The new fridge came home and voila the boy can open all the doors and get ice for the dog and ice and water for himself - independence is awesome! Oh and the other really cool thing about a bottom freezer fridge, I don't have to wake the dog up to open the fridge doors :)

Big Eggs, Small Eggs

Our walk the other day finished with an important lesson on not putting Robin's eggs in pockets, and then on how small a Robin and it's egg are compared to a chicken and it's egg.

Mutts a growing

Mellon is growing by the day. The first pic was Mark bringing her home from the vet the first time, the second pic was about 3 weeks later in the afternoon of her next vet visit when she was enjoying giving dad a lick on the head :)





She is now 28 pounds big and yet is still small compared to where she will be and where she should be at this point according to the growth charts for both of her breeds. We are changing dogfoods for her as the current one she just doesn't like and so won't eat enough and the new one, which has actually been tested on giant breeds to make sure it doesn't cause joint issues, she loves and licked the floor where it landed and then carried the bag around looking for more.

She took her first trip into Walmart as a Service Dog in Training the other day and did rather well, we are looking forward to her going more places and learning more and eventually being just the right dog to help John. Even today he just loves her and likes to get ice for her to chomp on, and is adamant that she needs to go with us and ride by him wherever we go. It cracks me up when he is watching a movie in the truck and it's a good part and he is waking her up so that she can see too.

HS PT Dad Style

Homeschool Physical Therapy Dad Style! John loves it and just looking at the pictures was excited and ready to go do more. We have been so impressed with his increasing stamina and ability.

Cousins and Dragons

On our recent trip to visit with our family just south of us in Arkansas, John got to go see his very first movie at the theater and he and Paul and Cam's boys, Isaac and David, had a great time together!
