The Erratic Afternoon

The boys and I had a fabulous afternoon expending energy with a prairie walk to the Erratic. Of course, there was a lot of climbing. Gasping and "Get down please!" could be heard very clearly. Some other sun worshippers laughed and also encouraged a little boy to stay safe.

This child is so sure of his footing and where his body is at.

It amazes me.

I would have fallen for certain, not having near the grace or agility that W has.

Bup loved exploring as well.

He was too cute.

Running to keep up with big brother, running to escape his mother, and of course a little climbing too.

"Monkey see...Monkey Do!"

The second highlight had to be the "ikeem" from Marv's Classic Soda Shop. Very quaint, 50's style diner, with a heap of memorabilia from that era and the boys didn't touch any of it! They were extremely patient while waiting for the 70+lady in her pink, mini shirt-dress uniform and black sheer stockings with the once a week coiffed hairstyle to scoop their cones.

Spring is here and we are loving it!

The erratic outdoors, a scenic drive and "ikeem"....perfect afternoon with two perfect boys!

Medical Degree

Once again I find myself wishing for a doctorate of something other than just life in general.

Yesterday evening we discovered these covering W's little body basically from head to toe.

Any ideas?

Hives?

They're itchy. Benadryl did the trick at bedtime but I hate to just bandaid the situation without knowing the cause. Maybe it's just toxins being released.

Who knows?

Not me.

Our Little Timbit

Here we are...soccer parents, a soccer family. We've joined the suburban stereotype.

W had his first soccer practice and game on Saturday. It was too cute seeing all these little Timbits in their too big soccer jerseys. Of course, our W was unique and insisted on wearing his shin pads outside of his pants! Next time, there'll be shorts and soccer socks...official uniform.

Bup was tired and sad the whole hour. He finally gave in and fell asleep. Apparently, he's not a big soccer fan!

And the soccer dad was a little tired....of chasing boys and rounding them up back to the stroller or the soccer field. We're learning so much patience and endurance, my favorite husband and I.

All in all it was a good event. W had some fun which is evident by the adorable grin on his face during the race.

As well as, when he told his coach he likes Nickelback and then proceeded to dance and sing at the top of his lungs in the middle of the game.

"Nickelback, the band?"

"Yeah! Walkin' out the back door...."

Tuberous Sclerosis Free!

May is Tuberous Sclerosis month and what a wonderful way to recognize it by having W's TSC tests come back negative!
Wuhoo!
The abdominal ultrasound and MRI were both clear, with no concerns.
Such a relief.
Even though at the time, I wasn't even considering what the outcome could be. I was only thinking about how we would get through those tests with limited fear and fighting on W's part. He made it through the examinations and now he has perfect results. Yay!!
