It's been a long day..........I woke up early and threw out all of my friends, blankets and pillow from my crib in attempt to find my binkee....no such luck. So, instead, I cried out to mommy. Gee, that worked! She got up, came in and got me. She changed my diaper and clothes and then let me up to play while she got ready for work. It was lots of fun to run around in the morning while she was getting ready. Of course, she kept busy chasing after me..... :-)
At school, we made barn yard animals for the wall and got to play all day long. Mommy was later picking me up because she had lots to do at work. Don't know why, I thought she would be able to get off on time since that Hague thing is over, but no luck. I guess when you are the Executive Director other things come up? Oh, well......she got there just in time to see me in the time out chair. Darn! Ms. Amanda told her I didn't listen. :-( Really, I was just tired from getting up so early. That's why when she walked in the room she saw me yawning while sitting perfectly in time out. :-)
This is going to be a fun long weekend!!! Don't kow what we are doing, but I was promised we would have a fun one! So, I can't wait!! Yeah! Bye for now.

It's been a a good week for Mommy!!!
I got home today....and WOW! There was a BIG BIG box in my back yard! Mommy calls it a hot tub.....She's really excited to have it! She says I will enjoy it someday.
Momy has been working really hard at work for the past year, since we got here in Boise, getting ready for a big meeting related to work. I'm going to let her get on here to let you all know how that went - this week was THE BIG WEEK for her.......
Hi everyone! Monday and Tuesday the COA sent out the auditors for our Hague Accreditation site visit. Yahoo - it's all over!!! I'm so happy that it is all over. I was told at the end of the visit that the visit went "tremendously well!" That was then followed up with, "you can expect no deficiencies when you receive your review back from the COA." They were extreamly impressed with how organized and well written all the policies and procedures were! :-) My mouth about hit the floor. I felt sooooo proud! I truly cannot believe that we had no areas that we will need to correct. This is essentially not heard of - and remember, we are talking about all the agencies across the NATION! Oh, my gosh! I feel very proud of myself and my staff! It's been a huge year of accomplishments for CASI! Now I can move on to bigger and better within the agency itself, now that I can move beyond "Hague!" Yeah!!!!! That excites me too! I do have to say, the families talked with the auditors highly about the clinical services that I've brought to CASI, thus far and during my interview with the auditors I got to speak about my goals to continue these services. They were very impressed by this as well. :-)

Missing my friends
Today was a hard day for me. I went to school and cried and cried and no one could figure out what was wrong with me. Then I screamed louder and louder. The teachers gave me my pacifier and my elmo, which they ONLY give me elmo at nap time and NEVER give me my pacifier!!!! So, you know it was bad! They didn't know what to do. They then called mommy to ask her if I was ok. I could hear them talking to her. Of course, it was on the big day of her audit so there was no mommy coming to pick up Tucker for the day! :-(
But, after awhile, grandmommy showed up for me. Yeah!!! I was so happy. I was so unhappy at school because my best buddy Cameron, who has been with me since day one (we even have the exact same birthday) left the daycare for good! I'm so sad and I miss him so much. But at least Reece is still there with me. The three of us are like the three stooges! Last week was the first week Camerson was gone, so it was a hard week. Then all of a sudden Lexi left and didn't come back and then so did Elese! All the kids I have been in class with since day one of going there!!!! One day I show up and poof, they are gone! Then Monday I show up and by best friend in the whole wide world and girlfriend, Reece wasn't there - I just lost it!!!!! So, I was glad when grandmommy came to pick me up. We had fun play together after I woke up from my nap!
When mommy got home, she talked to me about Stella and Emily, the two other little girls in the class and promised me that Reece would be back the tomorrow. So, I will go back on tomorrow and have a better day, but I still miss my friends who are gone :-( !!!!

Visiting Dr. Warren from KU
I forgot to update you all on my 18 month check up to my favorite doctor!! :-)
Dr. Warren from KU - who grew up in the KC Metro area, so Mommy feels better about having her take care of me! She went to school with my old doctor from KC....small world, huh! Anyway, after such a rough first year with all of those trips to see the doctor because of my ear infections, I didn't want to go on Thursday to see her. Mommy was excited to have me go, 'cuz she wanted to know how tall I was! I've been growing this week alone!!! My bones have been streaching this week and my clothes are all of a sudden showing more of my legs off and people at my school are telling my mommy how I'm "slimming out" whatever that means?? Oh, well, all I know is she wants to know how tall I'm getting.
When she took me to get measured I threw a fit and screamed and wouldn't lay out straight for the nurse. I didn't want to make the situation easy for them, because I'm not done growing for this week! It's my secret and I don't want them to know yet! So, the nurse measured me at 31 inches.....ha - little does she know! I'm bigger than that. She'll be surprised at my next check up! But I still fell in the 50% range, so Dr. Warren wasn't worried.....I'm in the 75% for weight at 27 pounds. I'm a big boy - Dr. Warren noticed how much muscle I have!! :-) Just like my mommy. Mommy didn't share with her how I'm pushing over the big wing back chairs in the house - that's how strong I am!!!! (well, I pushed one over one time, but mommy got on to me - so I haven't done that again.) Everytime I push over furniture, Mommy gets on to me, I think she must be serious about not wanting me to push over furniture.... I guess I'll stop.
As far as an update on my ears.....my tubes are beginning to fall out, but the ENT doctor said he will just watch me and next visit - in three months, if they are still there, he will probably take them out. Then hopefully, I wont get anymore ear infections! I've felt so much better all around without those nasty things!

Growing taller
I went swimming last night again and this time when I went down the slide I was able to touch the bottom of the pool without going under water ~ EVERYTIME! I'm getting taller. It's so much fun to swim, I love it! Today I heard Mommy say we were going for a bike ride because it is going to be in the 60's in the morning and then warming in the afternoon. So, I'm looking forward to this, for sure!!! Yeah!!! Don't know what else we are doing this weekend, but maybe it will have to do with swimming - if I'm lucky!
