I am pretty sure, that for as long as I live, this will be my all-time favorite picture of Alex and I. He was only about 4 months old in this picture, and I, of course, just as bald as he was. We were looking outside, which we were prone to do a lot during that time, because we couldn't go out and play as much as we wanted since I was sick.
Thursday marked my 6 year "Cancerversary", and I found that the whole day I was reflecting on how much Alex and I have both grown in this time. We have had many ups and downs in this time, but we have managed to always make the best of everything and we were always still together on the other side.
But lets get back to our main man.
On Monday, he brought his wedding gift to Matt and Stacey, and he worked really hard on it! It turned out beautifully too!
He was more sociable than normal when we were there, which is good because normally if a lot of people that he doesn't know are around, he will clam up. He stole Stacey's phone, took a video of himself counting along with the timer for the recording.
Everything at school went well this week, and he even had a substitute on Monday. It is good that he is getting into his routine so that he can start making progress at school. He even comes into the school all by himself and (most of the time) remembers to hang his jacket and backpack up, bring his folder in, and even answer what he wants for lunch (which he doesn't eat, he eats his lunch from home still).
We have gotten some fantastic homework sent home, and although our first shot at trying to get him to do it at home ended in screaming and a ripped paper, we have another project that he has to do before tomorrow where he picks what he wants to put on the bus (for the Wheels on the Bus book him and his class is making) and draw it, along with choosing what noise it makes. We have settled, I think, on "The Oxhorn on the bus goes 'ROFLMAO, ROFLMAO, ROFLMAO'", but we will see what he decides when it is time to sit down and draw it. One of my favorite things he has brought home this week was this piece of work:
I told him I was so proud because the picture looks just like Fat Cat! So I had to take a picture and share it with the masses. He also got a letter from his two (4th grade?) buddies, and one of them signed his name "Starkiller 9000" which intrigued me and a couple of my friends when I shared it. I think this is one of the most fun things about being a parent, is getting to see what their little minds come up with.
Yesterday he was sick, and he still is not feeling the greatest today. So that means movie and cuddle time with me, in an attempt to get him to feel better for Lauren's Birthday Party this afternoon. Last night, he even fell asleep in the fort under his bed:
It is hard when he is sick because he doesn't take medication well. Cough syrup, or anything of that consistency makes him gag and eventually throw up. So when he is sick, we turn on the humidifier, rub him down with Vick's, and cuddle as much as possible.
I am looking forward to telling you all about his trip to the Fire Station this next week, and to let you know how the Oxhorn art project goes today. We hope you all have a great week!
