Loganism of the 3rd grade?

I was at the boys' school this morning doing a few things and ran into Logan's teacher, so I chatted with her briefly. They're working on writing various stories right now.

On one assignment, she asked the class, "Does anyone know what a rhetorical question is?"

Logan raised his hand and said, "Oooh I know this one! It's like when you ask, 'How many times do I have to say no?'"

😂😂😂😂

My own med schedule

I feel like maybe I should've charted my own med schedule, similar to how I used to do Callum's! 😂😂😂

Signs of a stroke?

Or maybe just a face that's half numb. 😜

I stopped by the bathroom on my way out this morning, after another (successful) gum surgery.... And was surprised to see how much the right side of my face was drooping! I even tried smiling for this pic!! :)

Hopefully this will be the last gum surgery I'll need for at least another 10-15 years. *sigh*

Hungry!

Apparently several hours on neuropsych exams works up an appetite. 😜


Today's round of testing was a follow up from tests Callum did about 3 years ago, at the start of his treatment. Back then, I had the hospital conduct some tests so we'd have a baseline of his neuro cognitive abilities before treatment. Today's test will give us a baseline post treatment. 


One of the bigger (and long term) side effects of Callum's chemo is a delay in learning abilities. And, I want to make sure we track it closely (and create a paper trail for me/the schools) in case we run into any issues down the road. 


Thankfully, the Drs don't have any concerns right now (nor did back when we started treatment). In fact, what the Dr told me after the tests today was, your kid is super smart... but is chatty/has a short attention span. 


I laughed and almost said "Have you met my husband?" 😂😂😂

Another tooth gone!

Early this morning I saw Callum leave his room, head to the kitchen, then come back to our bedroom all squinty eyed and half awake. He was holding something in one hand and a paper towel up to his mouth with the other.

With a muffled and sleepy voice he says to me, Mom, I lost another tooth!

Whoa cool! Did it fall out just now? While you were sleeping?

Well I woke up and it felt loose so I just pulled it out.

And there ya go. This one is the gaping hole you see to the right of his big front buck teeth. It now nicely matches the big gaping hole he has to the left of his front buck teeth! 😂😂

No, I don't have a teenager....

Yet! But check out this big kid of mine!! 😳

I was taking a pic of the beautiful spring flowers on our neighbor's tree while we were waiting for Logan's bus (earlier this week) and caught him (and his bus) in the snap.

I forgot I had taken this because I've been having major phone issues this week where I've lost pics and couldn't receive any texts. All of which is to say I was totally lost without either of those things! ;-) I finally had to take my phone in to have it looked at/repaired. They got me back up and running for now, but I'm not 100% confident my problems are totally fixed. Sooooo, a new phone may be in my near future. We shall see. ;-)

Earthquakes Opening Game Day

We had a nice family night at the Earthquakes Opening game day!

The boys mostly sat like this all 90 minutes. Wrestling and talking to each other instead of watching the (really good!) game on the field. But, we still all had a good time.

The last two pics are what I have to live with these days when I'd like a family selfie. Two pics because the boys can't both get into the frame at the same time. And instead of sitting still, they're all blurry with wiggles. *sigh*
