As of TOMORROW it has officially been ten long days of trying to keep Parker off his Teeny Tiny Designer Hiney.
Out of desperation we had to upgrade to:
Letting Parker sit on pillows. We either put the pillow in our laps and then hold Parker or in case of emergency bathroom detours we put the pillow on the floor and sit His Highness on it. As long as said detour last more than 20-30 seconds, it’s all good.
Any longer than that and Parker melts down.
It takes Parker just as long if not longer to recover emotionally from a surgery as it does physically. Just by looking at him, you can tell that Parker has been through the ringer. He won’t even let his beloved brothers and sisters hang out with him. It’s either me or Reed.
I have a serious case of Rocking Chair Butt.
But. I promise. It is more than worth it.
Who could resist a face as beautiful as this?
And, yeah, we are still trying to figure out how to glue this kid’s hair down. We’ve tried pretty much everything except putting a brick on the kid’s head.
And for some reason my camera made my carpet look like the color of pea soup. It is actually a beautiful color of moss. A gorgeous, deep neutral. Really. I promise. I don’t think I could sleep tonight if you guys all thought my tastes ran to colors like lime green pea soup.
Although I’m pretty sure most of you didn’t even notice until I brought it up.
Okay. Never mind.
And as requested,
A recap of fundraisers:
Yes! RME is still accepting new accounts and if you sign up using the link on the top of Parker’s sidebar (the green one!) YOU will get $25.00 and Parker’s medical fund will receive $10.00…cause you signed up under him.
Our sweet friend from A Child’s Life is hosting IMAGINE for both Parker and Rhett.
Make sure you stop here and read about Jacqui’s contribution to this beautiful event. FYI, bring tissues.
And LOOK! what Parker’s bud, Joey and his Mom are doing for Parker and Rhett!
Pages4Parker is still underway. I need to post some pictures of a few simply gorgeous items that have been donated for this.
If anyone would like to contribute to this you can touch base with Michelle.
Or me. I could answer a question if you have one. Hopefully.
Oh. And in case I haven’t done this lately. I need to thank everyone. For, you know, everything. I’m trying to touch base personally, but it may take a minute. I just need everyone to know how much your love and support means to our family.
Hes still cute as ever. Praying for your sweet boy.
He is so CUTE!!! I know I say that every time I post, but he is!!! You know that though
I think his hair is adorable sticking up! My youngest son Gibson (who is Parkys age) has the same hair! I am so glad he is getting better and is able to sit up!
My good friend Sherry sent some GORGEOUS things to Pages For Parker!!! I think I may have to bid on them
I still need to get some things sent! All these people are just wonderful to be holding these fundraisers!! It is so beautiful.
Praying for you sweet little man. We love keeping up with you and your family on this blog. You are such a handsome little man, and we love your hair!!! When my son was little his did the same thing, and it finally layed flat when he got older…..
Teeny Tiny Designer Hiney. Oh my–I spewed coffee out my nose!!
And as for the hair….I STRIVE to get my hair like Parker’s! Seriously. I mousse it up to get it all spikey like that!! I hate when it is flat!
Working on my donations for Pages4Parker. We’ve had some fairly big news here (that I can’t blog about yet) and it’s taking all of my mental thought.
Those pictures are precious! I just hope Parker feels better soon! HUGS!
He is so cute! I just want to pince his cheeks. I am glad he is feeling better!
Hugs for Mr. Parker!

Oh, I like the hair. It doesn’t need to lay down flat. I’m glad you are back home and that he can at least sit on pillows. And we won’t judge you even if you did have pea soup colored carpet.
I wouldn’t change his hair at all! He is just such a handsome young man
Glad to hear things are on an upswing right now!!!
I think the hair is just adorable
And I didn’t even notice the carpet, but you got me thinking that perhaps we should have gone for a pea soup color at our house — with our two pukers, my husband has often threatened to put in wall-to-wall linoleum, a hose reel and a drain!
His hair is adorable! It’s like Calvin hair from Calvin and Hobbes.
I also loved “Teeny Tiny Designer Hiney” and chuckled about it all day. XD
Love you guys. ox
