We thought our computer had its last breath, but after Keith took the hard drive to work to get data off of it he was told that the hard drive was fine and often the "black screen of death" is a Windows problem. So the kiddos helped Daddy install the hard drive and then Daddy reinstalled windows and voila, we have a working computer again!
Rubix loves to race from his bath to anywhere else in the house except his room. Here is a cute picture of him worried about the toy that he threw behind Pheeny's bed.
Here is a cute picture of Rubix playing with the balloon before bed.
Rubix is becoming quite the innovator. In the garage he discovered the cone was a perfect batting tee so I set him up in the back yard. You can see how much fun he is having and how much he loves balls and balloons!
The big news for Rubix this week is that we started introducing dairy. I am offering him 4 oz of lactose free milk and allowing him to try a food with a small amount of dairy in it once a day. He had really bad diarrhea the first day, but it seems to be slowing down. I think I am going to keep him on this small amount for a couple of weeks and consult his allergist and GI doctor before figuring out what the next step is. Luckily, he has not vomited and he seems to still be eating, so these are all good signs that his body is tolerating the milk protein better.
The big news this week for Axel is he finally started 3rd grade. Harker started one week later then Marshall Lane and 2 weeks later than a lot of other local schools so it seemed like a very long wait! We were all very excited especially after having an awesome parent/ student orientation the day before.
Here is Axel with his home room teacher Ms. Andi Bo. They had a 2 hour home room on the first day of school to get organized and comfortable with their home room teacher and a dress rehearsal for the rest of their day. They had 15-20 minute classes the rest of the day where they met their other teachers, but no real class work was started.
Proud Parents!
Today was the second day of school where the normal class schedule started. He got dropped off and then had to head to his locker and home room by himself and then manage to get to his other 8 periods. We learned that his shirt has to be tucked in so he proudly tucked it in this morning. Axel also received and organized his snazzy binder (that looks more like a brief case) and decided that he could manage to take just this and his water bottle to school every day. Apparently, the math book is the only book that needs to come home and there is a nice attachment for one book to slide into. We also figured out that he needs to keep his Lactaid pills in his pocket in order to have them available throughout the day. He is allowed 2 snacks in the morning, chooses his lunch in homeroom and then 3 snacks in the afternoon. Yesterday he skipped morning snack, and chose pizza for lunch and pizza for his afternoon snack without Lactaid pills. Hopefully he won't be reaping the consequences today for that.
Yesterday Axel had to manage to get on the 5:15 pm shuttle from the Lower Campus to the Upper Campus for Water Polo practice. He had a great experience at school and getting over to practice, but didn't have a great experience at practice. Apparently the coach forced his feet to twist out while trying to teach him the egg beater and this lead to him having pain in both feet because of his pre-existing weak arches. We are hoping to resolve these issues at practice on Saturday so that next week he will be happy to go to practice and not dread it :)
