daddy and son day!

Saturday there was an event at The Orleans called "touch-a-truck" and J really wanted to take Ty. I kinda thought he would be to little, but apparently i was wrong! I decided to stay home because i wasnt feeling the best (Don't worry about me, although it was rough having the house all to myself with no son or husband, i managed to cope.. ;).
So, here is some pics from the boys day out. Ty had a great time climbing and exploring the different cars and trucks...

cheez!

Yep, that's my boy! posing just like his mommy used to do!

Bionic baby

Well I don't know how many of you know about Ty's leg braces. Ty was pretty much born bow-legged. My aunt even commented when he was only four weeks old "Is that baby bow-legged?"

SO, as he got a older and started walking it was really noticeable. I kept asking his doctor about his legs and he said Ty would straighten out. Fast foward to Ty's 2nd bday and he got fitted for leg braces. 

Needless to say he was not happy about having his legs in those things....
It took him a couple of days to get used to them. And once he learned he could still run and jump with them on , he was back to his normal bad self . Ty even knows how to take them off and out them on....grrrr...I thought keeping pants on him would deter him...not so much..

Joel was not happy at all about the leg braces. I think he thought TY might be looked at as handicapped or something and that people might feel sorry for Ty when they see him. But, ya know, he is only two and should only have them for a year and most likely he won't remember any of this. Now, if he were a little older and in school, I could understand the anxiety about them.

I wish i had better before pics of his legs, but he has straightened quite a bit now, even Joel has noticed the difference. He even calls them "bionics" because it sounds more empowering than leg braces or forrest gumps, lol.
