Lauren has recuperated wonderfully from her surgery to insert tubes in her ears and have her adenoids removed. We had her post-op appointment yesterday (2 weeks), and she can now bathe and swim with no restrictions! And she attended gymnastics class yesterday. (see photo below)
Our focus now will be to try to keep everyone healthy! I hope to get the kids the Flumist next week, and avoid the shots. I'm not sure what the recommendation for the Swine Flu shot will be, and I'm not sure I'm comfortable giving my kids such a new vaccine, so we'll see.
Ryan is doing great in 1st grade. He has his first spelling test this Friday, and today dressed up as a Ninja for a Storybook parade, carrying the Magic Treehouse book, Nights at the Ninjas. He was very excited. He loves these books, and they mark an important corner we turned....when he realized that books without pictures could be exciting! Mark, Lauren and I went to the school and took pictures. He was clearly happy we were there! (Not!)
One more note about the Magic Treehouse Books. The kids love the songs from the Magic Treehouse Musical. I play the CD in my car and they especially like the sweet song, "What Would I Do Without You." They would belt it out together!
