Takeshi: Good all around. Weighs 37 lbs and measures 40″ tall. Cried and cried and cried after his shots. No amount of consoling could help the fact that “that needle HUUUUURT!”
Kenji: Ugh. Weighs 22 lbs, 9 oz and measures 32″ tall. He is not gaining weight or growing and has actually “fallen off” the growth chart. May need to see someone regarding his lack of eating/growing/speech.
The boys received a few Toys R Us giftcards for their birthday so we spent Sunday morning picking out new toys. They didn’t want to leave the train section but I saw something that caught my eye. When we got home, Jay and I spent a good while trying to piece it together…and the boys haven’t stopped playing with it.
Enjoying the weather and took the boys out to break in a kite Takeshi got in his Easter basket.
While out picking up Jay’s post-surgery meds, I saw a little bug kit at Rite Aide (which should just be called Impulse Buy Central). I made the mistake of purchasing it and now there are 2 wasps (one very much alive) and one very healthy, web-full spider sitting on our kitchen island. Oh joy!
Jay was sliced open yesterday (Friday) to remove one of the lumps from his neck. They’ve sent it in for testing and should have results by Tuesday. The doctor says he is 75% certain it is a form of lymphoma (most likely Hodgkin’s). We have our fingers crossed that it’s just some sort of infection. In the meantime, he is slowly recovering from his out-patient surgery. Luckily the weather is nice enough that I can take the boys out for some fun in the sun. And here is the obligatory post-procedure picture.
Stopped by our CSA farm today and we got to see the mama goat and her kid. Farmer Carol said she expected 2 kids (since this goat has big babies but she’d expect 3 if it was another goat) but we only saw one. Didn’t see Carol to inquire; guess we’ll ask next time.
