Update ...

I've been terrible about posting updates! I must get better! For the time being, here's what's been going on:

• Trey has now had his second major injury. On Friday October 23 he was bending over to pick up a ball and he and the edge of our coffee table collided. We rushed him to CareNow (knowing an emergency room visit would last several hours), and he ended up having to have four stitches above his left eye. The whole experience was an honest nightmare, and I don't wish it on any mother. BJ was much calmer than me (thank goodness), so I'm glad he was here for the ordeal. Trey has since had the stitches removed, and he's no worse for the wear, but I certainly hope and pray that we're done with injuries for a long while. Being Mom to a rambunctious all-boy toddler is wearing a bit on my nerves!
• Trey has recently mastered the art of jumping ... for a while he would attempt to clear air, but both feet never quite left the ground. He's finally learned how to clear air, and he thinks it's greatest thing. He even jumps off ottomans, stairs, chairs into our arms, and he loves it!
• He's talking quite a bit more, and his vocabulary has really expanded. He loves pointing out animals, saying their names and then following up with the sounds they make. Anytime I tell him we're going to the zoo, he runs around making the sounds of elephants and gorillas!
• Trey has recently discovered new bedtime bedfellows: his basketball, soccer ball and football. He won't go to bed without them!
  

TCU Homecoming was this past weekend (Halloween day), so we headed out to the game. It was a good time of football and reunions with great friends. Since it was Halloween, I decided Trey could wear his cowboy costume, but I quickly realized I was going to be the one carrying his cowboy hat. So though he looks like he lacks Horned Frog spirit, it's only because we dressed him in his cowboy garb. Believe me, there's no lack of TCU spirit with this little guy. When you ask him what a frog says, he replies: "Go Frogs, GO!" It's really quite endearing!
