Edison in the Pool

You can tell Edison is just terrified of the water. That splashing he does at the end of the second video is what he does practically non-stop in the bath tub. I have to close the shower curtain to protect myself.

It Takes a While...

to post videos. I have to download them then upload them. It's exhausting.

But this video of the kids playing is worth it. Note Edison's hand coming off the chair and he's standing by himself for a bit. This one is from last week.

Edison's first swim class

He had a blast! We had intended to wait until he was older for the swim lessons but the place edy goes had a spot open up on the wait list and it was either take the spot or risk the new registration system they will start using next cycle so here we are in swim class. He was so excited and splashing like crazy. We expected him to fall asleep in the car on the way home but he made it home and the zonked out after his bottle.

Edy at swim class

She is turning in to quite the fish or mermaid as she tells me. She swam across the pool to her instructor that she is next to in the picture.

Best swing ever and a view of the we top teeth

Hey I saw my big sister doing this.

At the Waterfront

Edy and Dad went to a mini-festival at Waterfront Park downtown. We had an adventure by taking the bus and walking through downtown to the park - which Edy thinks is the neatest thing.
The Not-it's we're playing, and there were carnival games, clowns and face painting. I though the face painting artist was very impressive. This was her interpretation of what Edy asked for - a rainbow. She did this in about 3 minutes. Some of the sharks and Spiderman tattoos others were getting looked very realistic, rather than cartoonish. Impressive.

At the Zoo Today

"This is a fairy dressed up as a tiger"

At the Emergency Room

Edy had a very fun time at the Emergency room. I'm not joking, it wouldn't surprise me if she wanted to go back. With 106 fever and some vomiting, we decided to take her her in. By the time we got there, her fever as down to 101, and she was in good spirits.

So her ER visit consisted of watching TV in the lobby, having the doctor prescribe a Popsicle (to make sure no more vomiting), and watching more TV in the exam room, and then when they found out it was her birthday, she got her choice of Beanie Babies. Rough time.

Edy's Reduced Birthday Celebration

Since Edy had a fever, we did a small celebration at home and postponed her big party until June. Mom and Dad got her a bike that she is very excited to look at and is very nervous to ride. She got an ice cream cake as just Mom and Dad sang Happy Birthday.

Edy is Done being Sick

Edy's fever that sent her to the ER at 2:30 in the morning on her Birthday and caused the cancellation of her Aquacenter birthday party, broke last night. She hasn't had any medication since 7:30 last night and is feeling great.

She is totally in her element at Matthews Beach. She is so happy playing in the sand she is singing spontaneous songs while making sand soup.

Mother's Day celebrations have been postponed to next weekend due to both kids being sick, but so far it has managed to be a pretty good day.

Happiness.

Guess who is mobile?!

In a reminder that life moves on, Edison started crawling forward the week after Grandpa Stan passed away. Now two weeks later he is on the move! He is following the sound of voices in the house and of course is extremely interested in anything his older sister is doing.

Edys first ballet performance

As an early birthday gift from grandma Tonjia Edy got to go see a live ballet performance. The first part was more modern but the second half was the finale of Sleeping Beauty. Edy loved it and sat through both parts mesmerized. Her review after the second part was done was that there was too much of the guy and not enough of princess aurora aka sleeping beauty. Thanks Grandma Tonjia!
