very nice. 

where'd you put the weight?  inside?

Good luck with the race.

Yes. In the blue section, right in front of the wheel. There's about 2.4 oz of tungsten weights added there.

Thanks guys!  He was fever free yesterday and bouncing off the walls at home, so I think it's safe to say he's better.  He's back in daycare today so I'm hoping I don't get a call today.  

So he was fine all of Friday, then Saturday came and he was throwing up all over the place.  Luckily, I didn't have to catch any of it with my hands.  Man, one day in day care and he gets a stomach bug.  Poor kid can't catch a break.  He has had the worst week...  

 

[Ramnares P.E.]

Hope he recovers soon MF!

Mini-Ram just got over the stomach bug as well.  It was four days of unpleasant surprises before he finally recovered.  

 

[MetsFan]

Thanks Ram.  Yeah, stomach bugs are no fun.

so i was cleaning out minisnicks bookbag of all the winter things like hat/scarf/gloves and noticed he had like 3 pairs of gloves in there.  I asked him why he had so many pairs in his bookbag and he said he keeps them in there in case the girls in his class forget theirs and it is cold outside.  He lets them borrow a pair when they go outside for recess and such (IL has a stupid law that says all students must be outside for at least 30 minutes a day until the temps are below 20 degrees, or raining.)     there was apparently one girl in his class that didn't own any gloves and she borrowed a pair almost daily this winter.

...he keeps them in there in case the girls in his class forget theirs and it is cold outside.

Now that is smooth... Dad must be proud.

Sounds like an entrepreneur in the making

On another note, just realizing how complicated kid's schooling can really be.  Called the Director of the school we're planning on enrolling mini-Ram and casually asked about pre-k.  Apparently the State deadline for applicants is tomorrow so I had to do some quick Google searching to get that application in.  Fingers crossed he's approved for Universal Pre-K otherwise there goes another crap load of money.

We got a letter from the school a couple weeks ago saying we should take Mini-Dex in to see the eye doctor because of his eye test results.  Took him in last week to find out he has absolutely no vision in his right eye beyond 5 feet.  No wonder he wasn't writing down his homework assignments, poor kid can't see the chalkboard. So we ordered him glasses and they came in last night. On our way to the store he made the comment, "So *that's* how you know where the Target is" and pointed to the huge 40' tall roadside sign.  Apparently, he had no clue what it looked like beyond just a large glowing red ball.

more like a Casanova in the making...he knows the effect his dimples have on women of all ages and uses them to his advantage quite frequently.  he Smiles and he gets what he wants.

glad you got that sorted out.  I imagine you will be hearing a lot of similar things for awhile

Snick:  that's too funny.  Good for him.

Dex:  Glad they caught that.  Vision is a funny thing, you think everybody sees the way you do until the corrective lens are in place.  Happened to me about 10 years ago when I learned that my long range vision is poor.

Good to hear that was caught and sorted out.  Pretty damn funny though.

My parents, my inlaws, and Mrs Dex all wear glasses due to poor long distance vision. Doc said that Mini-Dex probably won't need them for most day-to-day activities, but will definitely need them for sports.  Mrs Dex really only wears hers when driving.

glad it got caught!  we had something similar happen with our youngest, we were at the Vegas airport when he was 11 and we told him to meet us at concourse ##12 (or something) the wife noticed him squint and then walk around aimlessly trying to find it and then she was like HFS you need glasses!  It helped him a ton in school, and we felt bad cause we had no idea. none of us wear glasses but his grandparents are all blind as bats

oh no!!! we have a shoe fanatic in the family.  Took the kids to payless to find dress shoes for easter.  snickette saw all the shoes and went wide eyed...she even forgot she had confidence issues and was standing by herself.  when were in the toddler section she was pulling pair after pair off the shelves and trying to put them on her feet whether they were the right size or not.  She had another pair off the shelf before i could the last box back on the shelf.  Then while we were looking for some for her brother she was ogling the little girl heels, she pulled one out of the box and showed it to me with a big smile like these are awesome mommy.

So I think my little one is finally better, but my oldest was not feeling well last night.  My poor wife is on a plane right now with the two of them, so I'm praying it all goes well. 

 

[matt267 PE]

 My poor wife is on a plane right now

Wow, things could go REALLY bad in that situation. I hope it doesn't.

 

[MetsFan]

Tell me about it. She lands in about an hour or so.

 

[MetsFan]

Sounds like they arrived without any incidents luckily.

Minisnick has his first loose tooth...too bad the permanent tooth has already erupted through the gums behind the baby tooth so he has a shark tooth thing going on at the moment.

My wife and daughter are cleaning up and going through old toys. It makes me sad to realize how fast my daughter is growing up.
