Our Sunshine Boys: Out of the Mouth of Babes

Out of the Mouth of Babes

This past weekend, Ryan was disciplined with soap in his mouth. Of course, he cried. As he cried he told me that he had swallowed some soap. I said, "OK." And then

he said

"the soap is going to my heart."

I told him that it wasn't and

he said

"it is and the soap is going to wash Jesus away from my heart."

He is crying harder as he is telling me this....thinking that it must be true.

Of course, I told him that Jesus will always be there.....no amount of soap will wash him away.

Then he went on to tell me that God would not like me putting soap in his mouth.

One day soon I'm going to post about Ryan's fear of fibs. All due to Veggie Tale's Larry Boy and the Fib from Outer Space.

About the boys

As of 3/31/08

Ryan is 4 1/2 years old. He is in preschool and loves every minute of it. He loves to color and he loves Larry Boy, the superhero from Veggie Tales.

Jack is almost 3 and he is the aggressive one. He likes to pick on his older brother. Even though he picks on Ryan, he likes to do whatever his big brother does.

Evan is 4 months old but is the size of an average newborn. He was born 9 weeks early. He was only 1 lb 15 ounces and 12 1/2 inches long at birth.

All of the boys have had their medical issues.

Ryan was diagnosed at birth with hydrocephalus. He was shunted at 3 days old. That shunt failed at about a year old. That is when the docs performed a third ventriculostomy. That failed one month later and was redone. His last surgery was January 2009 when he was 5. He has MRI's annually to make sure the hydrocephalus is under control.

Jack was diagnosed at 3 months old with hydrocephalus. He was shunted immediately but that shunt failed at 7 months old. They performed a third ventriculostomy and he has not had another surgery since. He has MRI's once a year.

Evan was born Intrauterine Growth Restricted(IUGR). He was born at 31 weeks 3 days gestational age. He was only 1 lb 15 ounces and he spent almost 2 months in the NICU.
