Baby Poopy

The first part of June, I took Owen shopping to pick up Liv a birthday present. He really wanted to get her a new doll. We wandered the aisles and I would be lying if I didn't say it was a bit creepy that all the dolls babble and move as you walk down the aisle. Owen picked out the Baby Alive that comes with a stethoscope, a spoon with disappearing medicine, band aids and a shot. Imagine that.

As we were walking out of the store, Owen said "Where's my baby?" The next day, when I ran back for the forgotten sunblock, he insisted we go back down the baby aisle. He really, really wanted the baby boy doll with the bottles of disappearing liquid and diapers. Owen had some money from Grandma stashed away so I let him buy his doll.

He immediately named him "Baby Poopy"... such a boy thing to do. He fed him, burped him, took his clothes off, sort of changed him and then back in the bag he went for a few days or weeks. I lose track of time around here.

While I was making lunch this week, I heard him talking to Baby Poopy and I came in the room to find him feeding and changing his baby. It was too sweet, so I grabbed my camera.
While he prefers to crash cars, throw balls, and fight with his swords.. it's nice to see him pretend play daddy. His wife will thank me one day.

Our summer has been a busy one and I am so sad that today is the last day of June. The time just flew by! We've been to the movies, swimming with friends, going out to lunch, cleaning house, watching netflix and just enjoying our quiet time together. It's been amazing!

The air in Carson's car died, so I have been trying to find days for him to take my car to work and we just stay home. Those are turning out to be some of our favorite days. No where to go, no money to spend, just playtime with the kids and getting our house in order. It's the simple days that are becoming the best ones.

I went with Carson to the urologist yesterday and the stent will remain in his Ureta for another two weeks. On July 14th, he'll have another surgery to remove this blasted kidney stone. I'm sure he's going to be thrilled to have it gone for good!

We leave for Stanford in four weeks!! I am so anxious to find out what's going on in Owen's heart. He has been doing so fantastic lately!! Carson and I watch him in awe. He is up and playing all day long, takes a short afternoon nap and is up until bed. He plays hard, he eats a ton and he is just a new boy. I can't even imagine how great he will feel after having the Fontan.

I am going to follow in other bloggers' footsteps and do a week full of blog posts on our everyday life. I think it would be so fun to look back in 5 years and remember how we spent our summer days. Unfortunately, today is not one of those quiet days at home so I need to get a move on.
