Well life is just puttering along..........
Last week was Jade's last week at work. Wednesday Audra, Heidi, Connie and myself took her to lunch. We went to the new Chinese buffet. It was YUMMY! Friday was her last day and I miss her already.
Last Wednesday I also went out to Tremonton to watch Braxton play basketball. That was part of his Christmas present, the money so he could sign up to play. So I thought I'd better go out and see if I was getting my money's worth. I so love watching little kids play sports. It is highly entertaining. I forgot my camera so sorry no pictures.
They all got on the floor and one of the coaches was putting them through their stretches. He told them all to lunge to the right. Well Braxton lunged to his left, I giggled, but he wasn't the only one. So the coach had them all stand up and raise their right hand, Braxton raised his left hand, still he wasn't the only one. So finally the coach had every one's right hand up and he said again "Now everyone lunge to the right". Yes, you guessed it, Braxton lunged to his left...and a couple of others too.
Then they were practicing blocking each other, one person blocked while the other person dribbled the ball around the key. Braxton was the one to dribble. He was dribbling the ball so that it was bouncing almost above his head.
They ran from one end of the gym to the other. When Braxton ran his face was so filled with determination it looked like he was gritting his teeth and his arms were just a pumping. He has a pretty good stride.
He is the shortest one on the team and I guess he has become quite aware about his height. He came home and asked his Dad why he was so short, and I guess that there are some kindergartners that are taller than him. Poor Braxton. At the end of the game he came over and started to cry because he didn't make a "hoop" (basket). I told him he did great but I think the real problem was that he said something about his dad promising him a toy if he made a basket.
Saturday I watched Leslie's kids while her and Paul went out for Valentines. They brought the puppy along too. We did the usual, had macaroni and cheese for lunch. Watched a movie, in which Gunner snuggled up against me and fell asleep. Then we had a treat and they played.
At one point Gunner had to go to the bathroom, I have his potty seat that you put on the toilet so they don't fall in. He doesn't use it anymore because he has to stand like a big boy. When he was done he came out of the bathroom with the potty seat on his head and said "Damma, the potty's stut on my head!" Then he pulled it off and held it in front of him and put his face in the hole and said "Ho Ho Ho, I'm Santa". Then he just turned around and put the seat back in the bathroom and came out like nothing out of the ordinary happened. He's better than TV I tell ya!
I've decided that the dog can't come back until he is completely potty trained. I got tired of cleaning up after him (I don't care how cute he is).
I also had a fun conversation with Jax and Trevon on the phone. Jamie talked to Cambria and then Gunner wanted to talk to her. She asked him if he wanted to come to her house and he of course said yes. So she told him to tell his mom to bring him to play. Well when he got off the phone with her he looked at me and said "Damma, I want to do to Damie's house!"
I'm reading "The Burning Within" by RaNelle Wallace. This is who I went to hear speak with Megan in December.
I finished testing the music Dale J sent me and sent back my input.I haven't gotten my next piano piece yet.
I love Gunnar.
