School field trip

Jonathon and I went to the Detroit Zoo for his class trip.  The day started out very chilly.  We wore hat mittens and heavy winter coats.  But by lunch time we were able to ditch the mittens and change to a lighter jacket.

We usually go to the zoo in the summer time as a family, and the difference is that there is a lot more animals out and about in the cooler temps.  Jonathon thoroughly enjoyed himself and was a very good boy.  I was very proud of him.

We got to see the Dora and Diego 3D/4D show also.  Jonathon did great.  He wore his 3D glasses and his headphones.  We smelled and we shook in our seats and got sprayed with mist.  It was kind of neat.  Flying in the airplane and getting hit with mist he jumped and I thought for sure he would be done.  But nope he wasn't .....he liked the show a lot.

For some reason I am having a problem getting the rest of the pictures to load.....so this is it for now.

Swimming Cancelled

Jonathon just got back into swimming last week and did a great job.  And today we got the phone call...no swimming...pool shut down...AGAIN!  Bummer!

So I sat him down and told him that the pool was broken and Miss Maggie said "no swimming today"

He must have understood me because he didn't ask again.

I guess that's one problem you run into when you use a public pool for swim lessons.

Big brother....little brother

So Kenneth had his foot surgery on March 19th and he is keeping me pretty busy with his recovery.

Surgery went well.  He was in surgery for 2 hours total instead of 3.  The Dr. lengthened one tendon and shortened another tendon.  She also put some plates in and moved the bone over.  He has a really nice arch now.

He is currently on his second cast right now.  He goes back to the Dr. on Thursday.  He went back to school after Easter/Spring Break.  First week back was a little rough on him.  By Thursday night he was sore and tired and Friday morning he had some swollen toes so I kept him home and elevated his foot all day/weekend.

He is non weight bearing right now.  I can't wait until he is able to get a walking cast.  I think he will do and feel much better then.  I am concerned that his pain level spikes up to a 9 sometimes.  I thought he would be feeling better by now.  Overall he has been a good sport about it and I hope when its all over that he is much happier.

Little brother is missing playing/hanging out with big brother.  Kenny is the one that still sits and plays legos and army guys with Jonathon.  And Kenny hasn't been able to do any of that.  But he is able to go outside finally and this makes Jonathon very very happy.

We have had some nice weather lately so Jonathon has been able to spend sometime outdoors again.  He really enjoys all the animals.  He thought maybe he would try to let Andrew's dog out for him(of course Andrew was not home)

And he has caught his other big brother to help him out in his monster truck!

BROTHERLY LOVE!!!!!  I am so proud of all three of my boys!!!!
