Today is the first day that Payton noticed his hair is coming in. We were driving in the car and I could see him in the back rubbing his head. He said, “Mom, my head feels soft.” He continued to rub his head and laugh and said “that’s silly, mom, I have hair.”
My sister Kelsey flew in on Wednesday and the kids were very excited to see her. She is going to stay with us (my sister Jennifer and I) for a couple of weeks and we are so excited she is here. Last night we had a girl’s night out and went to a movie, it was a lot of fun to get out and spend some quality time with Jennifer and Kelsey. It’s nice to have all of us back together again.
Lately Payton is bound and determined that he is Payton, nothing else. For example, if we say to him, you are such a good boy he will reply “I’m not a boy, I’m Payton.” Payton also has a mind of his own. When getting in or out of the car, he has to do everything himself. Payton has to open and close the door and buckle himself. He is very stubborn when he wants to do things himself.

My two great kids!
I am a mother of two wonderful children whom I absolutely adore and cherish every moment that I get to spend with them. We have had a rough year, one that has been a test of our faith but we have learned how to rely on each other. We all have such a close relationship because of what we have endured together.
Savannah
Our sweet little Savannah is 9 yrs old. She is getting ready to start 4th grade. Savannah is a peacemaker, is tender hearted and always concerned about the feelings of others. She is a great helper and always willing to do anything you ask her to do. We are so blessed to have her be a part of our family.
Payton
Payton is our sweet little boy that has tugged on our heart strings and made our faith grow strong. Payton was a happy normal 2 year old little boy old when he started running a low grade fever, which eventually lead to the discovery that he had a rare kidney tumor (Wilm's Tumor) on June 1st, 2007. Payton was diagnosed as stage 2, unfavorable histology (diffuse anaplasia) in his right kidney. He has undergone a radical nephrectomy, radiation and chemotherapy. At Payton’s 2 year after treatment checkup they found a growth on his liver. We were extremely scared. Payton underwent another major 10 hour surgery in April of 2010. We were so relieved to find out that the spot was benign. The spot was an iron deposit left over from his multiple transfusions. What a relief and blessing.
Payton is doing great and will continue to have scans every 3 months for the next 3 years. We are staying very optimistic and love our little boy more than words can say. Payton has been a brave and courageous trooper through all of this. We are constantly reminded every time we look at him what a little miracle and true blessing he is to our family. We are so grateful that he is a part of our lives.

Such a handsome little guy. So cool that he picks up on things like that and can giggle about it. Simple and meaningful pleasures. What a great blessing to notice it.
It's funny that he noticed it now. :-) I bet it feels funny to him.
I am sure that you and your sisters sill have tons of fun! Enjoy.
Hey Emily
Its your cousin Andrea, I just read this about payton insisting he is just payton and I thought that was so funny because my son Ian always does the same thing. I will tell him "you are so silly" and he will reply adamantly " I not silly I IAN". Anyway I thought that was so sweet.
