I am finally having a little time while Cameron sleeps. A lot of fun has been going on in the Gibbons household. Especially with me. On the 3rd and the 4th I had to have a colonoscopy. I had to have two since I wasn’t cleaned out the first time. After the second one the doctor told me that I have a redundent colon. I am not even sure I spelt it right. Basically I have a long colon. I am always full of “crap”! Ha Ha. I am glad to know that there is nothing else wrong. Now I hope to have my intestinal tract taken care of. Now I am onto taken care of my eyes. I started to get blurry eyes at the end of my chemo. I didn’t say anything at the time to anyone because I didn’t want to have to stay longer. Now I have tried everything and am giving up. I have an appointment this afternoon to see an eye doctor. Hopefully it will be something small and easy. The biggest problem is that my eyes are totally clear one time and then totally blurry another. I can’t predict when it happens either. I have used a lot of eye drops to help thinking they were dry. They helped at first then stopped. Anyway enough about me.
I took a picture of Cameron’s potty award. I can’t believe it!!! I have tried and tried to get hhim to go potty before bath and it never worked. He even went #2! I know at the ARD, they mentioned they would help me potty train him. I think they ARE potty training him. That would be so nice. He is loving going to school. When the bus comes down the street, he runs to the end of the driveway to get on. He is so happy. The first day I was a little worried how he would be so I followed the bus to school. He was so happy when he got off. Then his teachers greeted him and off he went. I love that the bus driver, Ruth, let me go on the bus to see where he will sit and how they buckle him in. He leaves at 7:15am and gets home at 11ish. That gives me special time with Michael. He loves doing preschool. He is a fast learner. I think he may even read before he goes to Kindergarten. He loves to play with the Wii. What kid wouldn’t. He’s my little man. Ricky started Basketball. He is doing really good this year. He got a really good coach too. He is still wanting to play football this year. Randy is worried about him getting him hurt so young. I don’t blame him. We are trying to make him be a little tougher though. Let me just say he is a little tender hearted. If you know what I mean. So now when he cries over nothing we always say “football” and he stops and says “I know”. I think he may be ready this year. If not for sure next year. Tonight is his Pinewood derby. He is so excited. He painted his own car too. It looks ok. I guess I don’t have an 8 year olds taste in design. He likes it and that is all that matters. We will see how it goes. Last but not least, My sweetest husband Randy is doing great. He went to Denver for their Marketing Event. It was very cold but he had fun. He thinks this will be the only trip he will have to make this year! I hope so. Last year was hard on me. When I got home he had to take trips a lot. I had a hard time taking care of myself and the kids. But now we dont’ have to worry about that. He loves that his workload is light. He is impressing a lot of his co-workers. I love it. He helps out at home so much. This weekend he cleaned the bathrooms for me and vacuumed. What a man. on February 2nd is his 32nd birthday. I am making him something this year. I hope I can get it done in time. When I am done I’ll post pictures. Well after his birthday of course. I would hate to have him spoil his present form me and the kids. I will keep posting! Look at the pictures!!!

Sounds like things are going well for your family. That’s great. Any updates on Cameron?
Yay for potty training!!! oh wait… not so much yay here at my household with the twins! Yeah, not going so good with the potty part! 🙂 Anyway, how exciting though that your little guy went number 2! So glad things are going great for you guys. Can’t wait to read about the Pinewood Derby – Brandon had his first Pinewood Derby a few weeks ago and it was a TON of fun. He actually won 1st place along with Bishop Woodfield’s son! I’m so happy for you guys that things are going well!
Also, I wasn’t sure of your email address, but wanted to let you know that Dale and I and the kids now have a personal blog. Here’s the addy: http://music-n-musings.blogspot.com
