Little Ham Bones

Happy Thursday!

Your probably thinking, Ham Bones?... I tend to call my boys my little ham bones because that is what they are : ) They each have their own little personality. It amazes me each day to watch how different they all are, yet how much the same they can be.

Harrison has grown up so much in the last month. He is really showing so much interest and love for Hunter that it brings tears to my eyes. He's at that difficult stage where he is too little to really understand, but old enough to realize that he's different. He's old enough to want to try and play with him, he is old enough to try to feed him french fries, and he is old enough to wave good-bye and give him kisses. Soon he will be old enough to really understand and explain to everyone else that he is different, and that is OK because we love him.

Hunter is old enough that he looks at Harrison with those eyes like can't you just leave me alone, old enough to know he can't even defend himself, and old enough to know how much his brothers and Mom and Dad love him.

Then there is my loving Hayden. He is old enough to tell his brothers that he loves them, old enough to help Hunter stop scratching his face or wipe his drool, and he is old enough to tell everyone everything they could possibly want to know as long as they keep listening : )

Even though by the end of the night we are tired, exhausted, and as hard as it is to believe sometimes crabby : ) It is things like this that remind me that these are my greatest gifts. To see the love and compassion through my three boys reminds me just how lucky I am to be there Mom.

Have a great day! God Bless

It's been so long....

Sorry it has been so long since my last post. As usual life has just been rocking.

We saw the GI doctor last week. We are going to try 1 tbls of Milk of Magnesia every morning along with our daily suppository and see if that helps get Hunter's bowels going on a daily basis. He is just so consistent at being inconsistent. For the most part, Hunter goes potty every other day, even with getting a suppository daily. Since he is already on a strong ducalax adult suppository there are not too many other options out there. We will give this a month and see how things go. He has not had anymore blood in his stool so hopefully we have turned the corner and will be done with that for a while. The plan is to try to get Hunter to go daily, and go and be done. So, we will continue to pray that we get this all figured out. If this doesn't work and we continue to have issues with Colitis we may have to talk with the surgeon to explore other options, but we aren't there yet.

Hayden is doing good. He is now officially going to be a Kindergartner. I cried at his preschool graduation... I will be a wreak next year I am sure. Soccer is almost done for the season, and T-ball started last night. Hayden informed me that he like T-ball much better than Soccer so looks like we will not be doing soccer next year. That is OK, I told him to find what he enjoys the most. Hayden continues to be my compassionate one... he read to Hunter the other night. He choose a cookbook of all things and then sang him a Lullaby before he went to bed. Things like that are priceless.

Then there is Harrison.... TROUBLE! We are going through that wonderful biting stage again. He drew blood on Hayden yesterday! I sure hope this phase passes fast. He is a little stinker all the way. He continues to amaze me by how many words he can say. He still loves dogs ... and cracks me up when he tries to put Haydens Ben 10 timer on his arm. He could really care less about his toys, it's all about Hayden's toys. They are finally starting to play together better, at least sometimes. Harrison is also starting to become much more aware of Hunter. He is, for the most part nice and gentle with Hunter... it is amazing how they just know at this age.

So, overall life is good in the Woldt house. I promise I will get some new pictures uploaded soon.

Have a fabulous week. God Bless
