More rainy day funcapades!
Tuesday, June 3, 2008
Clark popped out a new word today, which isn't all that uncommon, but it was a word that I don't think he has heard that much, so I was a bit surprised when he started saying "hashi"(chopsticks) while, of all things, playing with some cooking chopsticks. Normally they are on the verboten list of things to play with, but he wasn't trying to eat them and wasn't poking himself in the eyes, so I relaxed a bit. He was having a blast trying to pick up all sorts of things. Of course, he couldn't be the only one enjoying himself, and I was told to get the other pair and use them myself.
He started simple with a small ball.
Then he needed some help from mommy.
We tried books, paper, etc. and then we were ready for the BIG challenge.
We have since moved on to jumping, doing exercises videos on Sparkpeople.com (I LOVE that site, and Clark calls it peepl-dot-com, "more peeple-dot-com"), giving Clark a hair trim, taking a shower, and nap time. Now I just need to think of what I'm going to make for dinner tonight. Maybe just gyoza "lowla", boiled spinach with soy sauce and rice. Keep it simple, right? Part of me really wants barbecue and potato salad for some odd reason though. Maybe I'll make buffalo wings with potato salad or something tomorrow.

It's sure good to see you're havin' fun with chopsticks! Whodda thunk a momma who was born in Japan would have a daughter who moves there, marries there, has babieess there! It's really cool to see all the fun things you guys are doing : >
It was especially fun to talk with you last night. Jay had popped his laptop on (where we have Skype) because he's downloading some pictures onto his picture screen. He saw you call. He just marvels at how fun and cool this is that we can talk to you and Shauna over the internet and see tha babies!!! Neat.
I took Marilyn in to the doctors this morning for her appointment to get some much deserved pain relief. She seems to think this is working, but will have to wait a little. Dennis starts chemotherapy in two weeks and will be doing that for 16 weeks, then to radiation therapy for several weeks. He should be done around Christmas time. The stats for med his age with breast/bone cancer are fairly good 60-70% 5 year survival, but it all depends on other 'stuff'. Dennis is in such great shape that I'm pretty optomistic.
Gotta run. Love you sweetie!!! What'd you settle for gyoze or chicken wings? : >
Mom
XOXOXOXOXO

Melia's on my lap...I asked her if she wanted to play with Clark...it was affirmative. ;-) come play!!!
