The case of Archer and the wiggly eye

May 1, 2013  - I receive a call at my office from Terry, the assistant directory at Archer school.  "Hi Teri, its Terry, well um, I don't know how to say this." Me - "Uh oh, what happened?"  Terry "Well, Archer put a wiggly eye up his nose." Me "What?!" about this time I start laughing, I can hear Miss Debbie, Archer's teacher in the background laughing, well you just have to laugh about a wiggly eye up a 4 year olds nose.

Then Terry tells me the story. Archer was sitting in circle time and started to get really upset and cry.  Miss Debbie tries to calm him down and find out what is wrong.  He calms down and tells her "I stucked a wiggly eye up my nose and it hurts"  Well there you have it!

Terry made him bend over and try to sneeze, that didn't work.
She made him look up and looked up his nose for the eye but didn't see anything.

I was able to make an appointment with our pediatric about an hour later.  She saw it way up there!!!  She tried to get it out with an alligator tool...no luck.  So she made an appointment for later in the day with an ear, nose and throat doctor at a near by hospital for us.  She warned us not to eat or drink anything until after we went to the ENT doctor appointment at 1:30pm just incase he had to take Archer to the OR to get it out...YIKES!!!

A side note to all this is that Chris had just gotten back into town the night before after being on a guys trip for four days.  Needless to say he had perfect timing.  Had this all happened when he was gone, I may never have let him leave town without us EVER AGAIN.

So Chris meet us at the ENT doctors office at 1:30.  We get called into the exam room and tell the nurse everything. She leaves and tells us the doctor will be right in.  Archer has been sniffing and sneeze a lot this whole time.  Chris hears a few sniffs in a row and says "Archer blow out."  Archer does and the wiggly eye and a bunch of snort land right on the sleeve of Chris' dress shirt!  Hooray the wiggly eye is out!

Lefty

Do we have a lefty???? Maybe so.





Archer seems to favor his left hand over his right when it comes to drawing and throwing a ball.

"That's your what for"

I had to get this down on the blog before he stops saying it....So here is the story.

When Archer is upset with you, he will tell you "don't make me spank your bottom".  Now before anyones says "Oh he must here that at home"...No he doesn't.  Chris nor I have ever said "spank your bottom" to either of the boys.

Now after he actually hits Christian when he is upset at him, he finishes it off with "That's your what for.  We really have no idea where he comes up with some of these things.

Other fun Archer words are:

bisgusting = disgusting
bustruction = instructions
I made a terrible mess = when he spills something or makes a mess it is always "a terrible mess"...he takes this from "The monster at the end of this book" (the best children's book of all time)

Archer's family tree

Archer brought home homework last week. We are supposed to decorate Archer's family tree. Here are the pictures we picked.

Row 1: Archer and his super cousins.   The smiley boy himself.  Him and his brother chillin'

Row 2: Archer and his Godfather (aka Super Shane!)  The newest addition to our family. Baby Mason!, Memaw and Dodaddy,
Row 3: US,  Gran and Pa, and more super cousins.

Getting in on the fun

Not to be left out, Archer likes to play on the new computer too.

Another year older

Just can't believe this little guy is 2 years old tomorrow.

Archer man you love your thumb, Elmo, Dora, eigo (aka Diego), Your Momma, Your Daddy and your Bubba. You talk up a storm and we know what you say about 75% of the time. You love your new big boy bed. You were a little too active to share a room with you Bubba just yet. You liked to jump on his bed while he was trying to go to sleep and liked to talk to him at all hours.

You love to play outside and you love your school.

We love you bunches little man and look forward to everything this next year has to hold.

Love,
Momma, Daddy and Bubba

"Oh MAN!"

This is a test of your toddler entertainment knowledge...


Do you know who this ????









This is Swiper from Dora the Explorer. 
According to his bio here, "Swiper is a quick, sneaky fox who tries to swipe things that Dora needs to complete her quests. When Swiper has swiped something he then hides it and it's up to Dora, Boots and the viewer to find where it is hidden. Swiper speaks in English and can be stopped by calling out 'Swiper, no swiping'. "  After you tell Swiper, no swiping three times, he can't swipe anything and he says "Oh Man"

Well this is ARcher's new favorite phrase.  You say Swiper, no swiping three times and Archer says "Oh Man".  It is very cute and I do it all the time.

Words

Sometime people ask about the boys development, one compared to the other. How early did Christian walked compared to Archer? How well does Archer speak compared to Christian?
I guess Christian did things a little faster, but not much. Christian walked at 1 year, Archer at 13 months.
First words - Christian's at 11 Months, Archer's at 12 months.

I remember writing this post when I first started this blog.
It was a running list of all the words Christian could say at 19 months.

Archer is now 20 months and his vocabulary is pretty good too.
Here are some of his words

wash hands
sit
socks
shoes
NO
Istian (Christian)
Momma
Dada
eat
ELMO
ERNIE
BERT
nom, om,mon (Cookie Monster - he acts like Cookie Monster eating cookies)
outside
baff (bath)
teef (teeth)
HEY
cow
moo
dog
truck
ball
cheese
cat
elephant
book
go
outside
apple
down
up
UP (this is what he calls Lightin' McQueen from Cars)
juice
awa (aqua - aka drink)
night-night
hat
nose
light
ear
face
head


That is all I can remember for now, but the list grows almost daily.

That's my BOY

From Drop Box

Yep, there is my son at school. Isn't he cute in his dress. They said he won't let them take it off him.

More walking

We are taking more and more steps, getting braver and bolder.

Birthday BOY!

We don't have a baby anymore :( we officially have a little boy. His first birthday party was a Luau, complete with flowery leis, tropical fruit and lots of friends and family.


Friday night before the party the Choate girls invaded the house. Boy was that fun! Christian loves taking them to his room for pillow fights. It was cute when he even asked "Hey! you want to come to my room for a pillow fight" He has never said that to us. I don't think he realizes he is on one team and they both are on the other.


It was fun watching them have so much fun.

Saturday was party day. Here are some pictures from the day.


now I have to stop and explain this one. (editors note: this was in no way staged by a grownup, Christian did this all on his own) See Batman was in some trouble. He had been captured by some Bad guy pirates and was about to get smashed in the sliding down between the bathroom and Christian's room. Luckily Sassy saw this and documented it. It has brought us a lot of laughs. Don't fear, Batman escaped, but he has now been missing again for a few days, wonder if the pirates are holding him for ransom somewhere?!?

Big brother is trying to wait patiently to open present...can you see the frustration on his face?

I love this pic!

Time for presents!
Bailey got braces!


CAKE TIME!








Sugar crash...the end of the party for the birthday boy.
