gotcha day celebration

Ephram is getting four eye teeth and two molars and hasn't really been wanting to eat lately. For breakfast on his Gotcha Day he asked for a poptart and a nana (banana) and ate both of them! This is the first time he's used the 'B' plate and he was pretty excited about it after he saw the kids reactions. We sang, "Happy Gotcha Day" to him and watched his video all day long!

Ephram did play doh, colored, did stickers, painted with water, did chalk, 'played' a game, and I read lots of books to him on his special day. He still wasn't feeling great so he gave out lots of extras snuggles too:).

I couldn't get Ephram to eat anything for lunch...not even his favorites because he was just hurting so much. Thankfully he made up for it at dinner.

Brian and I couldn't stop thinking about our time in Korea and really felt like this gotcha day brought back wonderful 'REAL' memories for us.

For dinner he wanted eggs, rice, and apple. Strange combination but he actually ate it so that's all we cared about! Poor guy is hurting so much he doesn't want to eat. He didn't even want to eat ice cream or fruit snacks (his two favs) when we offered them to him.

Pictures with three of his fav's! Daddy, Doggie and Panda! AND...I got
some real smiles! He's actually 'learning' how to be bribed and 'will work
for m&m's' when he's in the mood. BUT he def has to be in the mood to participate!
