Sorry for the radio silence folks. I've been trying to dig out after last week. Lew's surgery was successful. Tests were normal, so we've had some closure there. Honestly I never heard anything else the surgeon said regarding the procedure; I was kinda in la-la land from hearing "normal". It's not something I usually hear these days. The following day we had snow and ice so there was a two hour delay for school. We've also checked off an IEP meeting, a night of sleeplessness due to who-knows-what, a solid day of trying to make up for the lack of sleep, Kindergarten night, Josh traveling for business and of course the Super Bowl. Nate was a happy camper because he invited two of the neighbors to watch it at our house. More than the game (which incidentally none of the boys watched) I enjoyed seeing LJ use his gait trainer as he chased the three boys to the other end of the house, returning back to me proudly & then the boys engaging in a fun game of sneaking back up on him...only to be chased back into their room again. I so wish I had recorded a voice memo of LJ's giggle.
One other fun note, LJ told Anna earlier today what he wanted to do with his life. He conveyed that he wanted to open up a donut shop in Arlington and give Dunkin' Donuts a run for their money. I said, "why yes, that's a fantastic idea! and mom and dad will help you start your business". Uncle D, you will be his best customer;) Bring all your buddies! LJ wants to call it District Donut. He then told me he didn't know how to make donuts. This was a major business flaw. So we watched about 8 shows on baked goods, donuts and the like. District Donut website under construction and flavor profiles in the test kitchen.
Some snapshots below from the rest of the week. I find it a bit odd that the Tasmanian Devil is prominently placed on the hospital gown when all that's expected is for your wee baby to take a snooze. While my guess is its supposed to make kiddos smile, we'll take any good, crazy energy we can get, Bugs Bunny and all. Oh, popsicles also sorta help.
