Halloween





Today was Halloween and you had a blast. You were a little D.I. complete in urban gear. You had your black boonie cover, black long sleeve shirt, urban color cammie trousers and your black and white vans. How cool are you? First we took you down to the Stonewood Mall here in Downey. It was crowded, but not too overwhelming. We got there around 6:00p.m. and the most of the stores were already giving out candy. It seemed that most were already out of candy before we even got there. It didn't matter because all you wanted to do is walk around the mall. There were lots of different costumes in the mall including other little military people such as yourself. While in Macys one kid came up to me and asked if you were a soldier. I told him you were a little Drill Instructor for the Marines and he said cool. Later we passed by another kid who was dressed in full desert digital cammies. As we passed them the older guy said "Look, he's Special Ops" referring to you. I thought that was pretty funny. Candy was very sparse so we made our way through the whole mall and took off. Next we went over to Nancy's house to go hang out for a while. You were actually there just a few hours ago with your mom. We got there and your homie Sebastian was sitting on the steps in his spider outfit giving out candy. We mingled a little and then we went around the block in search of more candy. We were able to acquire a little more on our little trip and then it was time to go. We said our goodbyes and we were off back to the casa. We fed you some more stuff since you seemed hungry and didn't really eat much today. Well you were pretty tired and so we put Sesame Street on for you while me and your mom were watching a documentary. As expected she fell asleep while I was still watching the movie. I guess Sesame Street ended so you came into the living room and I asked your mom to put you to sleep. She asked if I could brush your teeth and you started to climb up on her while I went to the bathroom. I went towards your room and noticed a funky odor. Mom started yelling for you to get off and started saying Yuck....I go into our room and there were wet poop stains all over our duvet cover. Mom starts yelling that you've got poop all over you. Panic mode sets in. We bring you to the room and I open up your diaper and there is just a huge amount of I don't even know what to call it. All I know is that it smelled so bad that it could have woke the dead. I clean you up and decide you need a quick shower. I take you in and wash your body off and you're as good as new. I wish I could say the same for our sheets and your pjs. You also ended up getting poop on your mom's pjs. Hilarious! I threw the sheets and your mom's pjs in the wash and your pjs in a bucket with soap. Tomorrow morning we'll take the comforter to the laundry mat to get that cleaned that up. I guess this was our trick for the night. Well everybody is asleep right now and the time on deck is 11:20p.m. I just want to say that you looked so handsome and I can't believe how much you've grown to this point. Hopefully you'll sleep in since we put the clocks back an hour tonight. A tentative plan for tomorrow is to take you to Knotts Berry Farm so we'll see how that goes. Well it's time for me to go. Good night! One more thing, the house still stinks like death even with all the Febreeze I sprayed!

Sleep Over

This past Friday night, you had your very first sleep over courtesy of your godparents Robert and Marissa. In the meantime, your parents were out in Hollywood at the House of Blues for a rap concert starring Tech N9ne who happens to be your dad's favorite artist. We actually planned to pick you up after the concert which was about 1:15a.m., but you were asleep and they were kind enough to let you spend the night. The report back to us was that you did very well, missed us a bit, and ate a whole lot of food. Your homeboy Joshua seemed to enjoy your company and would try to emulate the things that you did. You ended up watching Transformers with Marissa before falling asleep. We were awoke around 7:00a.m. by a phone call telling us to come and get you. I'm very happy you did well and hopefully more and more people will enjoy your company in the future. A great night of music for us and a first for you!

Happy 2nd Birthday

Well you did it Vladimir! You made it through another year. You have changed so much throughout this last year. It's been quite the ride seeing you grow up. There's been the good and funny times, and the not so funny and cranky times. All and all, you are growing up into this special little man that knows how to make me smile whenever I look into your eyes. And though you may be the size of a three year old, you still have a long way to go. I can't wait to see you today after work and just enjoy being in your presence no matter what crazy things you might do. This is your day and I hope you know how much I love you!!!
