Team Grunsted has a big week ahead.
Tomorrow our big boy is going to early childhood education (preschool) for the first time. The week ends with him having open heart surgery. It's going to be a wild ride here on Magnolia Avenue.
In preparation for the events of the week, we all got sensible haircuts, and caught up on laundry. In typical Bobby fashion, the haircut was traumatic for all involved, and the front of his hair is uneven. But, he's still our sparkling Bubs and it's a dramatic improvement over the surfer dude hair style he's been sporting of late. The "after" picture is shown here. Note also the gash on Bobby's forehead - sustained when he hit his head on one of the crib slats. I wouldn't have believed it if I hadn't seen it myself. We'll see if the start of school tomorrow brings a visit from DCFS, checking on Bobby's safety at home.
Bobby continues to have an upper respiratory infection, so he started a course of antibiotics yesterday, as we race the clock to get him well by Friday. Mama V is also under the weather, and dually loaded up on Vitamin C, Zinc, and chicken soup.
Today was an unusually warm day (80s), so we violated house arrest and ventured out to the back porch for some rollicking good fun on Bobby's favorite swing. The boy loves a good swing!
