Swimming Machine






I am obsessed with swimming! I swim everyday..except if it is raining! I have been very busy this summer..learning new things, going to new places, it has been a roller coaster of a summer. Last week, I had my yearly urodynamics test done and I did great! My bladder looks great....I have low bladder control that is why i leak between caths but Dr. Rudy said that if all goes well that as I grow up...probabaly around 12 or 13 my prostate gland will grow and I will be able to control my bladder and maybe only have to cath myself 2x a day...WOW! He does not want to see my for another 1 1/2! Mama and Dad got a A++! I have a MRI on Wednesday which Mama isn't really looking forward to...but we need to check some stuff out! I have a kidney ultrasound next week and a couple of other appts...like eye doctor...etc. Stuff that Mama wants to get out of the way before school starts! All my teachers and therapists are going to fall out of there chairs when they see ME!!! I am a talking, walking machine!!!! Another I have been obsessed with is STAR WARS...I know at least 15 characters by name! I can also count to 16 and doing really well with my ABC's.!

Oklahoma City...I had a great time!




Mama and I went with Fleetie and Grandpa to visit Aunt Margaret Ann and Uncle Bob. My second cousins Isabelle and Thomas has came to visit me...I had a very good time with them...I was sure tired after my trip and was glad to see my Dad!

The best part was I got to hang out with my Cousins Jeb and Hoak...they are cool dudes! Aunt Crystal has Baby Gideon in the oven....due in December! I got to walk alot which was great...I was a machine....Mama and Dad had to chase me all over the place!

Hotel Valencia...Super Cool!




We stayed at a super cool hotel. So, if you are ever in San Antonio it is the place to stay! They had great pillows and Mama liked wearing there robes! I loved the waterfall and the rocks...Dad let me play with them. We went out to dinner both nights and had great food! I was a very good boy...I ordered french fries and water...and they were great!

SEA WORLD....Shamu..How i Love you!








So after we left Port Aranas...we were off to SEA WORLD! I had the best time....i saw Shamu, fed dolphins, saw sea lions, sharks, sting rays. I was such a good boy that Dad took me shopping and bought me my very own Shamu. I have been sleeping with Shamu ever since I got it!
The Shamu program was my favorite...i got alittle emotional when I saw there trainers hug and kiss...I wanted to hug and kiss my Mama and Dad. I think I get the emotional stuff from my Mama... she was even crying!
