Ian Airk M. Dewey * November 2001
Nov 1 – You went off to school. Later Connor and I picked you up and went to McD’s for lunch. We paid some bills and took Connor to school.
You wanted to see A Joey & U Robert. They kept you while I went to WM. You and I went home after a bit. You were coloring and U Robert gave us some dinosaur books to take home.
Ian and I ran to the library and WM to buy our new TV antenna. After Dada put up the antenna we ate at Golden Corral. We are back home and going to bed.
Nov 2 – Off to school and home again! We went to find a carpet for your bedroom. We ate and Connor came home and just had a regular afternoon and evening. We had pizza for dinner. You and Connor went with Dada to pick it up, watched TV, and then off to bed!
Nov 3 – We went to garage sales and got a lot of books, a basket ball game and a shooting gun toy. We got breakfast too and Dada some. We saw Grandma and U Robert at the craft show and PaPa as well! We came home and you and Connor decided to smear toothpaste in my bathroom, dump puzzles, and my Q-tips! Drove me nuts today! :) A little TV, dinner, bed.
Nov 4 – Boys and I left for White sands. Now we are about to go. They played a bit and argued a bit.
Nov 5 – Ian went off to school. Mommy didn’t get much sleep and you came in and said, “Am I going to school today?”! After class Connor and I picked you up; you were blowing bubbles. I took you and Connor to A Joey’s as mommy has to go to the doctor. You are, played and had a very good time as you always do. We were late and you ate dinner as well.
Mommy and Dada picked you up; A Joey was about to go to sleep! We came home, took a bath and by tooth brushing time, you BOTH were very grumpy. I read and you went to sleep! You had a new carpet in your bedroom and it looks nice!
Nov 6 – It has been so warn you barely need a jacket. We get your “dry diaper” sticker and I hold you by the mailbox as we wait for your bus. I give you a hug and a kiss bye and off you go!
Today when you got home we looked at vans and you had quite a time looking at them. After Connor got home we ALL drove to Ruidoso with Dada to look at more vans. We ate dinner up there at a place we love. You accidentally spilled your soda, but all was okay! We got home, bathed, brushed, and off to bed!
Nov 7 – Dry diapers. It may be time to try regular unders! You got dressed for school, got your sticker, and off to school!
You got home and spent the afternoon playing. You fell asleep a while, played, and had dinner. You did a couple of puzzles and took your bath. Currently, you are picking up some Fruit Loops you spilled! It is 1 ½ hrs before bed. We will probably play Lego’s. Love You! Mommy :)
Nov 8 – We got you up and ready for school. We sat on the porch. You picked your dry diaper sticker and swung. I held you by the mail box until the bus came. You have a cold again.
After school I got you some lunch. While I was in another room you went to sleep. I had to get Connor from school; he was sick, so I had to wake you up.
Dada got soup and chicken and we ate it for dinner. After Lego’s and Scooby I read Dinotopia until you fell asleep.
Nov 9 – I kept you both home today. You were coughing so bad that you were up by 5am. I popped in a video and got up shortly after that. I got you dressed and I tried to get you and Connor to “rest and drink”, but you both make it VERY hard! You kept trying to sneak outside!
Dada is fixing pizza for dinner. We are about to eat. We had dinner, took baths, watched a Scooby video, and went to bed. You still aren’t feeling well.
Nov 10 – You were up early, coughing. I got you dressed and heated pop tarts and got tea. Mommy had a “patio sale” this morning. You watched cartoons and played. After the sale, we went to see Grandma and A Joey at the craft sale. You and Connor got an animal balloon. Your balloon was a mouse. It came undone several times! Then on the way out you got a cute lizard you walk on a metal stick.
We got McD’s and came home. We are watching a movie. You are watching Dada who is in a bad mood! And sitting in your chair. You still have a nasty cough.
Nov 11 – Sick, sick, sick. TV, a little playing, no outside, and medicine. That was pretty much how it all went today. Connor wounded worse and you sounded a big better. We will see on Monday.
Nov 12 – I kept you both home one last day. Your colds are bad. I can’t get them to stay away! I had a school meeting with Connor’s teachers and Dada watched you guys for a while AND my house was in one piece!
We went to Golden Corral for dinner, but just as we got to the door Connor started throwing up. (I think it was Active Duty and Veteran’s eat free). So, we went home and you and Dada had dinner. You and Connor were very tired and we went to sleep very fast. I love you!
Nov 13 – You went to school today. You were cranky this afternoon and evening. You want your birthday. I keep telling you it is soon, but it doesn’t help. You and Connor were fussing with each other a lot and eating popsicles with Dada.
This is the 2nd night in underwear! Yah! :) You quickly went to sleep.
Nov 14 – You were sleeping pretty well this morning and I had to wake you. We got you dressed, brushed, stickered, and on the porch for the bus. I love the mornings with you! :) I sang “Doggie in the Window” while I held you by the mailbox. You keep telling be how big you are getting! True! Today you turned around and said bye and waved. I wasn’t sure if you wanted me to go.
I am going to the doctor and A Joey will pick you up from school. You had a great time as always. You were whiney when we had to leave. You and U Robert were saying dinosaur names out of a book! All the syllables and everything! :)
We got a Happy Meal for dinner, took a bath, watched a Scooby movie, and had a story. You came in our room about 12:30am. And then Connor did too! I love you!
Nov 15 – You got up a little after 6am. You got ready for school and you were off!
We saw U Robert and Grandma at the shop. (We had to take her a book!) Then we went to the library. You were playing with a little girl. Then to Hastings where you got very upset that I didn’t buy Shrek. Then the line was long and you kept asking for all sorts of things and I told you no. You cried the whole time and had a nap when you got home. The evening was fine. We had dinner and watched “Lost in Space” and then off to bed.
Nov 16 – Up at 6 am watching the space movie with Connor. You got ready for school and we did our regular thing. At lunch you brought me papers home. Since you have watched TV you have had snacks, done puzzles, and been silly! You are playing with Connor just now wanting pizza for dinner.
Nov 17 – You were up way early and I was way tired. You are watching cartoons. You, Connor and I laid down after lunch and you finally went to sleep. Then watched Mighty Joey Young with Connor and I.
We went to see A Joey at the shop. She gave you $1 to get something at WM, which did. You got silly putty and I got milk!
You played outside with Connor until dinner. Had both and watched Mulan. You listened to stories and to sleep.
Nov 18 – You got up at 6:30am and watched mommy do her Tae Bo exercises, then watched TV a bit. Connor got up, fixed breakfast, colored, played and watched TV. After lunch you played outside. You were anxious for Grandma’s birthday at Golden Corral.
We left after our baths. A Joey, U Robert, John and Chris were there. We ate and A Tess and Grandma and PaPa came. Grandma got a “bird” tea set from A Joey and U Robert plus money; a larger bunny tea set with a basket from A Tess; and from us a Sound of Music and 60’s CD, and a Pooh Top.
We are home for a Scooby movie, a little playing, and to bed. Mommy loves you!
Nov 30 – I have not written in a while. We had Thanksgiving at our house. It was very nice. Grandma, PaPa and A Tess were there and it was a very nice day.
We have visited A Joey and U Robert and seen Grandma and A Tess off and on.
Yesterday the 29th Ian and Mommy went to the kennel and came home with a lab/Shepard mix. She looks like Mommy’s old dog, Merlin, but she is smaller. Her name is Sandy. All is going well except for the cats. We are fostering her.
Today after school you, Mommy and Dada had lunch. You got mad in Staples when I wouldn’t let you have candy and we came home. You swung a bit. You played with Sandy and are watching a Magic School Bus now. Connor will be home soon.
Dec 1, 2001 – You, Connor and I went to WM and a few other stores today. We had spaghetti. Later you were out playing with the “little hammer. Connor said you hit him in the back. I told…………
