“Saucey” is the way Trey pronounces his friend Causey’s name. He still has trouble starting words with hard consonants, but it may just be he thinks “saucey” is a cool nickname.
Causey celebrated his 3rd birthday this weekend and invited Trey to his airplane themed party. There were tons of kids at their house and Trey had a good time hanging out with them all.
Earlier in the week I took Trey to the store to pick out a present for Causey. He saw a Melissa & Doug wooden Birthday Party Cake set and announced to me that we would be getting Causey a birthday cake for his birthday. I wasn’t sure how much he would like it (seems like pretending to bake cakes would be more of a little girl thing and less interesting to airplane obsessed boys). However, all the kids loved it and insisted on opening it to play as soon as Trey gave it to him.
On Friday Trey and I drove up to Sweetwater, TN to join my dad and brother David to celebrate Peepaw’s 90th birthday (on the 23rd). My dad brought a Dairy Queen ice cream cake (Peepaw’s favorite) for the occasion.
On Saturday Tommy and Betty Haun joined at the Dinner Bell (another favorite of Peepaw’s) and afterwards we ate cake back at the house. Then Trey, David, and I went down to the nursing home in Madisonville to visit Grammaw. She was in really good spirits that day and we had a nice time with her. I read the story of “Brer Rabbit and Da Tar Baby” to her and Trey and they both really enjoyed it.
I couple weeks ago I visited the Weewerk record label web site and saw they were holding a photo contest – the only rule was it had to be a picture of the letter “W”. So on our next outing we grabbed some props and made a picture to submit. And it won! Our prize was 2 CDs by the Canadian band Great Lake Swimmers.
We were enjoying a beautiful winter day at the Georgia Industrial Children’s Home and I was taking some pictures (as usual). I had my camera on a tripod and Trey insisted on taking a photo himself. This is the shot he made – of course, I took some liberties with it in post-production, but the composition is all his!
While the educational content of the Health Adventure museum was over Trey’s head, he still enjoyed all the hands-on activities. He got to shoot dust balls into a giant nose, play “The Urine Game” where he pretended to be a kidney, hear a faucet with a runny nose explain the source of snot, and slide down an esophagus, crawl through a stomach, and out a giant rectum.
