Day 1 of our "Stay-cation"

Ken has taken the week off and since I am not watching any babies anymore, we are able to have a "stay-cation"....rather than going away for a vacation. On our first day we had our first Ear Nose and Throat Dr. appointment. The doctor is located in Oviedo and he was extremely kind and funny to Thomas. He prescribed Thomas a special decongestant along with a special nasal ointment for the next month. Then we will go back to see if his nostril needs to be clotorized. I was so afraid that it was going to be a big ordeal to get him to take the medicine, but last night he proved me wrong. He took it with no problem and even asked for more. Hopefully this will end our nose bleeds.

After going to the doctor we went to my school to unload the last items from my storage unit. Since Ken was with me it went real quick. Thomas just loves seeing all the ladies there and has a hug for all of them...even my principal!

Thomas wanted to go swimming so we went to the Riverside Community Swimming pool for a few hours. It took Thomas a good 45 minutes to warm up to the idea of being in the pool. He must have forgotten that for the last two summers he has had swimming lessons. Ken helped him re-learn to climb out of the pool and to jump in.

On the way home from swimming Thomas fell asleep. He only slept for about 30 minutes before our friend Jackson and his mom came over. She was sick on the day of Thomas' birthday and wanted to bring him his gift. He got a set of "Critter Prints" by RoseArt. They are the neatest things. They strap on over the child's shoes and they have an animal print stencil on the bottom with a pad of chalk dust. Then when the child walks it leaves a critter print. So cute! It was neat to walk out this morning and see "raccoon" prints.

As you can see, we are off to a fun yet busy start to our stay-

cation!
