Happy to report that A seems to be feeling better. He’s not even half way through his
antibiotic, but he definitely seems more himself. If you sent him some good vibes, positive
thoughts, prayers, or anything else, THANK YOU!! All well wishes are so very much
appreciated. I suppose A’s not
completely “out of the woods” – I always worry about viruses affecting his
lungs, but at least I know he’s feeling better and that’s most important.
Our weather on Friday was crazy. It got up to near 80 degrees and then within
an hour, it was in the 50s. The boys
spent as much time outside as possible and it was so nice to have a (very
brief) taste of spring/summer. We even
got out for a long family walk.
Saturday, it basically rained the entire day – so
depressing. I took S to preschool and W
went to swim class. Both activities went
well. I scheduled a haircut for the boys
and was absolutely dreading it since S screamed through the entire haircut last
time. Even W was complaining about not
wanting his hair cut and liking it the way it was. I told him he could have a juice box, gummy
bears, chips, whatever he wanted if he cooperated and promised the same to S,
though S doesn’t really understand bribes yet.
Anyway, much to my relief (and thanks to all the junk they consumed),
both boys did relatively well. There
were still tears from S, but it wasn’t the scream fest we experienced last
time. And they both looked so cute!
I called my mom and begged asked if she’d mind if we
came over for a bit. I was just tired of
being stuck in the house, but wasn’t sure what else to do. She told us to come on over. The boys played with Meiko the cat and had
fun playing with a mix of toys they brought over and the toys Grandma keeps on
hand. We ordered Chinese food for dinner
and relaxed. It was a nice way to spend
a rainy afternoon.
Sunday was church and Starbucks. Since it was pouring rain again, we headed to
the mall. I had hoped to get a photo of
the boys with the Easter Bunny. W
obliged, though I think he thought the whole thing was ridiculous. S just repeatedly yelled no and refused to go
anywhere near the Easter Bunny. Yet
another photo fail – though I do think W looks adorable… maybe I can photoshop
S. ;)
From there, I had to return a shirt and pick up my wedding
ring, which was being repaired and polished (I had realized earlier in the week
that one of the prongs was bent and the center stone was loose – so thankful I
noticed!!). When I got my ring back, I
couldn’t believe how sparkly it was!
Guess I should get it cleaned and polished more often than every few
years!! I snapped a couple photos
because I’m a dork, but also because I love things that sparkle. Can’t believe I’ve had this ring for 10
years! I still love it!
Then it was off to the indoor play place. It may be a cesspool of germs, but the boys
LOVED it and couldn’t get enough. W also
experienced his first crush when he fell in love with “the girl in the polka
dot dress”. As we headed out of the
mall, he asked several questions and chatted on about her… “Where did she
go? I don’t see her. Did she park by us? I think she’s 4 like me. I like her.
Where can she be? How many exits
are there? Why don’t I see her? Did she leave through a different exit?” It was adorable and I felt sad for his 4
year old broken heart. Maybe they’ll
meet again someday.
The day would not be complete without an S meltdown because
I wouldn’t let him ride the escalator over and over. I’m so mean.
(And I’m joking – both boys are usually really good when we’re out. But poor S loves to have fun and just CANNOT
understand why anyone would ever make him STOP having fun). I was that parent getting all the looks
because she had a screaming toddler in tow.
Oh well. No one goes to the mall
for peace and quiet, right?
All in all, a fun weekend in the books.
