Why hello! Grayson's been a bit under the weather this past week. It hasn't slowed him down at all, and he's been as fun and energy filled as ever. However, he does have pink eye. It was pretty bad on Thursday, which is when this picture was taken. Obviously this picture was not about his eye, but we never took a close up of it. I feel like I've been really bad about taking pictures of interesting things lately... hopefully I get better at it. Anyway, yes he is wearing a dance recital bow, but also, if you zoom in on his left eye it's super red. It was really red all day long, and it was all red around his eye Thursday, likely from him rubbing it. I took him to the doctor and got prescription eye drops on Friday and it already looks like it's gone! We've still got 3 more days of eye drops though, and I'll try to remember to get a picture of that because it's quite a chore. He always gets a treat for putting them in, and without that I don't think I'd have ever even come close!
On Monday Monica took Winry and Grayson to the zoo. While they were there they walked down a path we usually pass over. I thought that we saw everything the way we went, but it turns out that along the path there is actually another exhibit, and it has VULTURES! So this is not something we will continue to miss in the future. Winry was loving it. Just imagine if you can, going to the zoo and seeing DOUBLE VULTURES! I can picture it, but it's not too hard for me to see double of anything right now... Anyway, so many rounds of Happy Birthday!
The kids also checked their wingspans. Winry was pretty close... and Grayson looks like he's just going for a full body high five!
In the afternoon Winry tagged along to school pickup to get Brooke. It ended up being a little colder than Winry had planned for, and she borrowed Monica's coat while they were waiting for school to get out.
We've done some playing in the backyard this past week. There is still ice all over, as the backyard doesn't get too much sun, and it snowed again on Wednesday. Grayson went ball hunting, and started to gather them all in a bucket. The bucket also had quite a bit of water in it from the snow, which wasn't a big deal until Grayson wanted to dump the balls out and got himself all wet... I asked if I could dump the water out for him, but I guess he REALLY wanted water in there still. Who needs dry gloves.
Here's Grayson having some breakfast! Every time I give him something with a spoon I always remind him "small bites so you don't make a mess." Sometimes it works, sometimes not. He was having yogurt and apple sauce, and I couldn't mix them, but he did every bite.
I took Brooke to the dermatologist to have her warts checked out on Wednesday. She also did her presentation on camels in school on Wednesday, and got to bring her camel mask back home. She wore it to the doctor so she could show it off. Everyone asked her about it, and she got to teach her camel facts many times. There was even a guy in the lobby eating a pizza on our way out who looked up and said "I like your mask!" So stylin'.
Monica got Grayson a second swim diaper in his size this past week, and he was really excited about it. He wore it over his pajamas for a FULL day... well, until his inner diaper suffered a blow out. But the next morning when he woke up he needed it right back on over his pajamas again.
Brooke is getting close to needing some new dance shoes, so Monica got some in a few sizes for her to try on to find the right ones. Jelly found them on the ground, and apparently they were very appealing to her. I know cats have scent glands in their cheeks, so I don't know if this means she really liked their smell, or if she really wanted to fix their smell.
I found some thin lemon cookies in our cupboard on Thursday and encouraged Monica to get white chocolate raspberry ice cream when she went to the grocery store. We made some great mini-ice cream sandwiches with them. YUM! It's a truly amazing pairing.
I made pancakes on Friday morning, and in exchange for eye drops I put chocolate chips in Grayson's. He was not the cleanest of eaters that morning.
Winry has been doing the lions share lately, and been putting Grayson down for his nap pretty often. Grayson will almost always pick Winry to do it. She does all the things we do, reading him stories and singing him songs, though the reading stories part usually takes MUCH longer than it does for Monica or myself, and the singing is always very brief. But you know what? Grayson loves it, so it's great! I love how well all our kids get along!
