Temper, temper

Mr Damon has been throwing temper tantrums lately. He also has this incredibly high-pitched scream that is oh-so-annoying. And it's pretty much a waste of anyone's time to try to discipline him because he has no regard whatsoever for "no" or "don't". He just looks at you and give this ornery grin and does it anyway. Are all miracle children this difficult, I wonder? Is this the price we must pay for living with God's handy work? Perhaps. Regardless, he's worth it and I find myself trying hard not to smile back at that ornery face. Yes, forgiveness comes quickly, even when he breaks my glasses and leaves me with nothing to wear but my old "Elton John" glasses (as Hank calls them.)

We went on our vacation this week to Tulsa. We did all we could do in 4 days and had some fun. He and Myles both got used to sleeping with mom and dad every night and so when we got home it was not easy getting them to go into their own beds. Damon has a dr appt w/ Dr Tong on the 10th and I expect everything to be just as it was before. I'm sorry we haven't been updating as much as we'd like...our home computer isn't working so I have to borrow time on others' computers. Talk to you all later.

Granny and Pa say: Praise the Lord that he has a temper! We are thankful that he is alive and well, and that he can scream, even if it is annoying! We are glad that you got to enjoy some vacation time, too. Damon is just starting his "terrible 2"s" a bit early, sounds like.
