Commentary on Dad's Drinking Habits

Edy brought me a pretend drink she made in the swimming pool the other day. It had some wood chips, dirt, sand, and some strawberry leaves with water in a cup all mixed together.
"Mmmmmm looks yummy" I said. "What is it?"
"Beer mixed with wine."

Kale and Blueberry Smoothie

Believe it or not, he actually likes this stuff. Unfortunately, he also insists on feeding himself with a spoon, which he hasn't quite learned how to do.

Blueberry and Kale Smoothie

Edy just finished her second cup. Whatever weird thing TK comes up with in the kitchen, Edy seems to love it.

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

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.
