July 26, 2006 Day +1,211 Day #909 off treatment

Two new articles added to Taylor's bulletin board. Update coming later tonight!
Today was a fair day. Taylor gets so wild at school. He will just scream out in the middle of a quiet time. I don't know if he is looking for attention or is trying to be the class clown, but it bugs me and I know it will bug a kindergarten teacher. Once we got home Taylor was okay. He ate goldfish and popcorn and watched cartoons. Logan took a long nap. He was trying to sleep at school which is very odd for him. He didn't act like he felt bad, but wasn't quite himself.
Gam maw and I made our run to Curves and to tan. Logan was mad that I was going to "turves", but he was over it quickly as he learned that daddy was going to take them outside. We have the gator and 4 wheeler here at home on charge. We also have plans to go to Guh's after school tomorrow to ride the motor and 4 wheeler over there. I haven't told them that yet as Logan will repeat it over and over and over until it happens and I don't want to hear it. I think I will tell Taylor and that should calm him down a bit. I had to get on him again about whinig and being mean to Logan. I asked him why he does the same things over and over every day to get in trouble and he said he didn't know. I know that all kids do it, I am a teacher, I see kids do it over and over, but when it is your kid and you can't stop it, it is hard to deal with. We have worked out a new deal. He wants to save his money to buy a blue power ranger. I told him on Friday nights we will give him $1 if his room is clean and he has been on green light at school all week. When he gets enough to buy the power ranger we will go buy it. I hope this is enough incentive to make him behave. For those of you that don't have small kids the green light system is what they use at school these days. It is a traffic light and all kids start on green light. When they get in trouble they move to yellow and if they are bad again they go to red. It is not good to be on red and most of the time it works. We used to have a red light in Taylor's room and it really did work for him. It kept falling off the wall, so we took it down, but I think we will put it back up if it seems to be working at school.
We recorded a special on the travel channel about the Disney cruise ship. We watched it tonight and Taylor was loving it. He is ready to see the water slide and pools. He also liked the ice cream that is available around the clock! 43 days and counting!!
Please continue to pray for Taylor and his success against NB. Pray for Avery who will get another MRI soon to see just where they stand. Pray for Christi who finished her new drug today. She also saw a ped. who said the new lump on her head is a swollen bug bite. Praises! Also, lets rejoice with Ralph who has finished treatment!!! http://www.caringbridge.org/al/ralphcook

Be sure to listen to Taylor's Red Cross commercial on WDJC 93.7. It is finally airing and several people have heard it. I think JIm put a link on the web site so you can listen on here if you are not local. I must say, it turned out good. Taylor's voice it priceless, it should bring in lots of donors!
