Some Good and Bad news
Well, from what the title implies, we do, have good news and bad news.
The bad news is that Jamie was sick all weekend with a stomach bug.
The good news is he's feeling much much better today. I think I got him hooked on popsicles lol.
I can't believe my little guy is going to be 3 in 8 days.. We're going to have his birthday party a little early.

VERY EXCITING NEWS!
Something very exciting happened.. and I'll tell you what.
We usually go to our in-law's house to do laundry once a week.
We were at our in-law's house and I was getting Jamie undressed for his bath. I took his diaper off. (I thought.. what the heck) and sat him on the grown up potty. I made sure to keep a hold of him so he wouldn't fall in. He PEED in the potty!!! Jamie was observing what he was doing, too. I was SO excited!!! I told him three or four times ' You peed in the potty!' I clapped a little bit.. and Daddy came to the door of the bathroom. I told him what happened.. He told me GREAT!. What's more, is that he went back to the potty a time or two more..and (actually he started going on the tile) I grabbed him and held him. and he POOPED in the Potty!!! So I was REALLY excited!
That's a great thing to happen.. Yay Jamie!!!
I'm hoping to at least take him to the potty before bath and have him sit on his potty chair at home!
I'm just all smiles.. This made my day!!!
Grandma and Grandpa may have to get a potty seat for their house!

An Update
We went to the play date. Jamie was good. Jamie hadn't met this little boy before he played with, and it was a new place. Jamie was exploring for the first few minutes, and then really started to play toward the end. The lady that we talked to that let us use the room and the tape recorder said that the tape could make a difference on the diagnosis.. but it won't be very long until we find out what's going on.
We have our next appointment in two weeks for more testing and then we go to the parent conference in which our Dr. will tell us what's going on.
In the meantime, we're hanging in there.. and hope that things get better soon.

Things have Gone CRAZY!!!
I know what you're thinking.. yea I'm a crazy mom. No I'm not going crazy, though I confess to going out of my mind now and then.
I wish it wasn't so long since I posted. Here are some pictures to give you updates on what cute things Jamie has done.
First, some updates.
Jamie's still seeing a developmental pediatrician to diagnose him, since he has completely stopped talking, and has some sensory issues too. The appointments to get the diagnosis have been crazy, but that keeps us busy. We are going to a 'playdate' tommorrow (Oct 16) where we need to let one other child interact with Jamie for 20 minutes.. and it needs to be tape recorded. This is to see how he interacts with someone his age. But we're getting things done. We have another appointment with the school district (one to assess him.. one to get the results) and we'll have a couple more appointments and then a parent conference to see what the diagnosis is. Although frustrating he still is a happy boy and a pleasure to be around. We have also learned since he has a significant 'language delay' and the sensory issues, he can attend a special preschool at the public elementary school every school day for 3 hours a day.
He can start going to the preschool on his birthday if he wants, but we'll see.
Trey's still doing good and spending time with Jamie whenever he can. He is working on his masters still.. not too much to say about that.
I'm the crazy one in the family.. I guess. I've gotten a calling for a VT coordinator.. which is basically who you call to turn in the VT reports of who people you have visited. I also run the house and keep everyone organized. I also make sure that Jamie isn't making messes left and right.. which he tends to do at least once a day. It doesn't help matters that I tend to misplace things almost daily.. and 'hide' things a little too well from Jamie (and myself). We are excited for Jamie's third birthday, We plan on having a duck themed party.. (that's his thing now.. rubber ducks, he has 9!)
I can't believe that Halloween is coming so fast.
Anyhow.. here are some pictures that Jamie's been up to.
Jamie's really into imitating me lately. He knows that I put on the oven mitt to work in the oven. Don't worry, the oven is off.. :D
Examining the cold oven.. :D
While I was doing something, Jamie had figured out how to open a little take out container full of BBQ sauce. Here he is eating it straight out of the packet..
I know.. totally gross right? He seems to love it!
Here is another picture of him!
Here's Jamie in his PJs. See his new haircut.. Cute right? I thought so.
Jamie had gone to sleep very early the other night (Oct 14) and was 'reading' Chicken Little. Cute!
There's Jamie conked out and Daddy 'napping' for the picture. Jamie likes to go to sleep with Daddy close by.

MIA... EKKKK!
I am surprised it's been so long since I posted.. I've been MIA for about a month or so..
Lots of things have been happening as always at the Brady household.. I've got a few pictures to show you what we've been up to.
My mom needed boxes to pack up stuff .. Jamie's checking out the boxes! LOL
Jamie now loves to play with the vaccumn hose.. what a kid!
I'm not quite sure why he would want to put it on his mouth.. oh well.
He's probably thinking something like.. 'Wow.. look what I built!"
These 'blocks' or Nesting blocks..have become one of his favorite toys.
He'll even carry his blocks down to the car to go to Grandma and Grandpa's house :D
What's with the tongue..?? Hmm.. He's been doing this lately...
Trying on Dad's Valero flip-flops. What's funny is I actually let him take a walk outside in them once. :D
I think he'd say if he could talk would be 'Outside, now mommy?' or something.

Lots of Things happening
Things are pretty busy as always. This weekend was not any different, but let me back up.
Jamie's occupational therapist suggested he play with shaving cream to let him feel the texture..and get the 'sensory imput' that he needs. I had sprayed it on his body before, but thought it would be fun to write on the bathtub wall too.. Here is what it looked like when we were done!
I took another picture of it.. te he he
This past Saturday, the 12th was my birthday.. We dropped Jamie off at Grandma's and went to the Library..and went mini golfing. We also had to go get Trey a haircut..so we did that..then went bowling. We ate dinner there.. but had dinner early..lol.
We then went to my mom's house, stayed a little bit, and picked our son up.
Happy Birthday To ME!!! Yay!
Here are some pictures of Jamie and I ..Just relaxing on the couch..Ugh..My hair doesn't look too good..:-P..
