“I am thankful I have consequences because I know my parents love me.” – Enzo, 7
ps. I know you’re thinking how sweet this is and it is…but it cracks me up because earlier today he was complaining about consequences and mom not being fair EVER. LOL

Oh Lizzie and Enzo. I am so thankful that God chose me to be your Mommy. I know it’s still hard to understand why you couldn’t grow in my belly. You both are even more special than that. You grew not just in my heart, but in your Daddy’s and Kuya Ethan’s too. You’ve made our family complete.

Enzo is so excited that he gets to play t-ball again this season! Not sure if it’s the play he’s excited for or his social hour with the cousins 
Lizzie is so nervous about being able to play. This is her first year we’ve been cleared to play sports. In the past, her trach was always an issue with any contact games. But since she got her new tube put in, we don’t have to worry about her trach being knocked out. Look at her confused face..”What do I do with this?…You want me to do what??”
Look at that focus on Enzo’s face! Now if I can just get him to hyper-focus like that on other things Lizzie is just a nut and she runs like a girl!
These 4 crazies are so excited to be playing t-ball this year….Let’s play ball!

Enzo was recalling the run-in his daddy had with a flock of birds (seagulls I think) in a Target parking lot one weekend.
* my phone needs a better camera
This year we decided not to let Enzo get caught up in the countdown to his birthday. He gets too wound up with the countdown and always ends up upset. So for my sanity, this year we adopted a “don’t ask, don’t tell” policy. I waited till he was tucked in bed the night before to tell him it was his birthday. He was so excited to find out his birthday was just a sleep away!
This year we didn’t get to put up our traditional blow-up birthday cake. We couldn’t find the plug! I was kind of bummed because we’ve done that since Ethan was 5 or 6? But that’s ok, a birthday movie with the cousins made up for our lack of props.
Dear Motorola,
My Cliq needs a better camera or at least a flash.
Love, Me =D
He even got to take a trip to the store to buy his birthday present, just like he did last year. He loves being able to pick it out himself and getting to pay for it on his own. Although this year, reinforcements came to help him pick out his present.
Not only did he celebrate his birthday at home with us but he got to celebrate it Desuyo-style in the middle of the Target parking lot too! Jordan and Asher wrapped up a bunch of little presents for him, even a corn on the cob (which Enzo thought was just the sweetest thing anybody had ever done for him) and made him a few birthday cards. He totally enjoyed all their goodies more than any of the presents we got him! The Desuyo boys definitely know what little boys like.
Then of course we had to celebrate again with the rest of the family. Although I did forget to take a picture of the birthday boys – Enzo, Zeke and Dashy.
What a way to celebrate his 6th birthday!
Happy Birthday Baby-boy, hope you had a fun filled weekend!
I can’t believe it’s been 3 years since he’s come home with us. Seems like it was just yesterday he was running around the house in a Pull Up because he refused to potty train. He always gets so excited and so worked up about his birthday. On August 1st he was double checking that this was the month of his birthday. But here we are on his birthday eve and he’s forgotten all about it! I think I’ll wait until he’s tucked in for bed to remind him. We do have a “don’t ask, don’t tell” policy around here when it comes to Enzo and excitement and changes.
One more sleep and he’ll be 6!
** Clarification: We’re not gonna let him miss out on his birthday! We just choose not to let him get caught up in the count down….trust me, we need it for our sanity! I’ll tell him when he’s in bed tonight that his birthday is tomorrow =D
Oh the drama! We’re eating dinner last night and Enzo goes into a spaz and runs to the bathroom hysterical. Turns out his bottom front tooth was suddenly loose. He cried and whined through dinner and we eventually decided that dinner was done for him and he wanted to save his dinner for breakfast. He cried and whined while getting ready for bed. Although he stopped long enough to stare in the mirror. Then cried and whined again while getting into bed.
I was really glad to see he wasn’t hysterical anymore this morning (really really glad! not sure how much of that I was gonna be able to take). He has spent much of the morning in the bathroom staring and wiggling his tooth. After one of his many bathroom trips, he ran out to say:
“Mommy my tooth is gonna fall out soon because it keeps on giggling all over like this *he proceeds with a silly dance*!”
Enzo was describing this long black worm with a whole bunch of legs that he saw on Animal Planet. He says the males are huge. When asked what it was he insisted that it’s called a ‘milipeder’.
So I look up this new fascination of his…. when I showed him a few pictures online, he verified that it indeed was his ‘milipeder’
Enzo’s ‘milipeder’ (aka milipede)
I know one day I’ll miss Enzo’s mispronounciations. So for now we’re content with his wankagoos, eye-tacs, and milipeders.
