The ENTIRE bottle was on the floor and our new recliner....(i.e. empty bottle)
As a result, Kyler had to sit in time-out....(notice the wet bubbly pajamas)
Finally, he had to clean it up....you can't tell in the pic but the vacuum isn't even touching the floor. He's still learning that part of the clean-up process.
Thanks for the bubbles boys.
He has this fetish thing lately where he LOVES to take off his clothes. His shirt is usually off within minutes of getting off the bus - then his pants (and diaper) shortly thereafter. What the?
Every now and again I have to re-accept the fact that I have a child with Ds. When Kyler was 1 1/2 my mom gave me a book called "Gifts: Mothers Reflect on How Children with Down Syndrome Enrich Their Lives". It is a bunch of entries from mom's about the time they found out their child had Ds. Since reading this book and it's sequel "Gifts 2" I have been wanting to write my story. But whenever I try...I can't. Not because I don't want to but I can't put my feelings into words. I can't pick the moments that I would want to share and the ones to leave out. I can't describe the immense pain and sorrow I feel at times but also the amazing amounts of love and joy. I have written my story a few times and it never fully captures the essence of what I want it to say. Mine's not going to be published in any book - I just want it for me. I want it for Kyler. I want it for Taegen.
What a difference 3 years can make...Look what a big boy he is today!! 
Now I wish I had an 8X10, coasters, wallets and a huge blanket with his picture on it. I just think they are so cute. He looks so grown up and big. My baby boy...getting big school pictures. Aww!
Kyler started school today. We got to go meet his teacher, Mrs. Laura Lehman, yesterday. She is the same teacher that he had last year but they are at a different school in a new classroom. There are 8 kids in his class - all boys except one little girl. He was really excited to be able to ride the bus again. Poor Taegen - keeps asking when he gets to ride the bus.
Waiting for the bus. Luckily this year he gets picked up at 8:35 instead of 7:50. We are actually in walking distance from the school but lucky lil' Kyler gets to ride the bus instead. 
This was 9 piglets. They were so cute. The poor mama finally gave in and let them all eat. Poor lady - it's hard enough having to feed one or two but NINE!!
Oh...the baby calf.
Kyler petting a horse. The lady holding Kyler is named C.J. and she is the owner of Cornerstone. She is a Physical Therapist and does Hippotherapy and stuff too. She is SO great with the kids. Taegen was too scared to touch the horse but he touched all the other animals. I love watching Taegen with Kyler. When Kyler is scared Taegen says "come on Kyler. Hold my hand." and then he walks with him. (refer to the above pic for an example)
At the end, each kid in his class had to order and pay for their snacks. They really do work GREAT with these kids. I'm going to miss it when it ends and Brownsburg School starts. This is Strider looking a little leery of the bunny.
So fun...it actually was fun to go to the fair and have help with the boys. They got to see a ton of animals (horses, cows, sheep, goats, pigs, hens, bunnies, turkeys, ducks, etc). They LOVED it. One successful field trip down....five thousand and thirty three left!
Taegen and Kyler had their 3 year well check visit last week. They are both doing great and are healthy as horses :). Here are their stats:
