A Week Of Many Things

Well we have had a quiet week. After one of his brother's car broke down and had to come stay at the house for a week while his Dad fixed it, Paul had to share his living room. That was a little hard for him but he also enjoyed have someone to play video games with. He work on his bedroom making a bigger baby room for Micheal since we told him we could not build a whole new house just so Micheal could have a room of his own.

Paul dividing his room with a sheet.

Paul has decided to have a baby shower now for Micheal so he made up invitation for the shower. He made envelopes with everyone names on it and then inside was the invite. It said on the outside of folded white paper For My Baby, then on the inside it says happy to be at Baby Shower go to my home. He has given these to each of his brothers and has one made up also for his grandmother. Now his oldest brother's wife just had a baby shower in Sept. and his cousin had one this summer that he went to and his third brother is having one in February so I guess he figures he needs one too. He says Micheal needs new clothes. So we will probably come up with something.

This Sunday we fixed a Turkey dinner, just fix it, but he figures it is Thanksgiving again. He decided it was his time to carve the turkey so his dad standing next to him let him do it. He was so proud of himself and he kept calling me to come in and take pictures of him doing. He loves to have his picture taken. He really thought he was big stuff.

One problem Downs have is a weight problem. Paul has a heart defect and was told last February it would a be a good idea to lose some weight, about 33 pounds. We joined weight watchers and by September he lost 25 pounds and then the Holidays started. Needless to say all diets went out the window. When he weighed the beginning of January he had gain back 12 pounds of what he had lost, so we have started weight watcher diet again this week with his dad, mom, and Paul with weigh-in on Sundays. We made this a competition between the three of us, with this week Paul winning. He thought he was top dog but we will see how he does next week. He lost 6 pounds.
