10:01pm Added some pictures, below. Ian was alright kinda tonight… I guess we have our ups and downs. We probably would have been ok if we hadn’t tried to squeeze a bath in — plus I think we’re both tired. Last night he wasn’t sleeping good, probably had to do with the diaper situation outlined […]
MAKE SURE YOU SCROLL DOWN! PICTURES ADDED TO EARLIER ENTRIES!!! ALSO EACH DAY IS UPDATED TO KEEP MELISSA IN THE KNOW!!! 9:06pm Ian got to that point again where he was getting upset. As a parent it is hard to ignore your instincts. Your kid is telling you something he needs, you give it to […]
3:00pm Melissa is doing a couple of last minute things before she goes. The departure time for this flight will at least allow Ian to say good-bye to his Mommy before she gets on the plane. It is weird how this works. When she’s gone, she’s gone so suddenly. And while I know I could […]
The 31st was “outside project” day, and there was a whole lot of planting and digging going on. See this image larger. Ian was inspired enough to do some landscaping in his sandbox with Grandma Barb! See this image larger. We had a nice dinner and then decided it was time for a cool ice […]
On the 30th we went to the Children’s Museum, where a “Blue Man Group” exhibit was in place. Ian’s first interest right out of the gate was the ramp that you can roll golf-balls down and it rings some bells. I’ve got video of that I think… Grampa Ray found some fun stuff to do […]
On Friday, May 29th, Grandpa Ray and Grandma Barb arrived here in Rockford, and we had a great visit! Here’s some of the fun stuff that happened! Ian learned that corn does not magically appear from a package, like the way a hot dog is born. See this image larger. Sure it is hard work… […]
Hi all, today we’re going to try another video. It also happens to be a NEW and GOOD video… a little incentive to try it out this time. 😉 You can hear Ian recite the alphabet and do his best to count to eleven. This is a long movie that has been compressed a lot… […]
ROCKFORD, Michigan (Rockford Inquirer) – At approximately 11:00am on Sunday, May 31st, 2009, according to eye witness accounts, Ian Daran Chapman peed in his potty. His mother and father issued a statement to the press this morning — “We had some close calls here and there but this is his first ‘sit down because I’ve […]
So, we got home and Ian was fine for a bit. At some point I think it sinks in that he can’t ask anyone for a boat ride, that he’s down to just his parents — and they are watching his behavior very closely. He got in a bit of a funk, and I admit […]
On the 25th, there was a final boat ride and if I’m remembering my days correctly, we had some excellent waffles… Grandma Marcia cooked all kinds of great stuff over the weekend, I should really learn to take a picture or two around meal time, but it is always the last thing on my mind […]
