a much needed haircut



The before and after, so stinking cute !

Max turning 7




I can not even believe he is 7 ! Last week was his birthday, and in true Collado crew fashion, his B-day was celebrated over the whole weekend, the 3 day weekend ! Teachers had an in service day, don't know exactly what that means, but it sounds like mom's need those too !

So......what to buy for a child that does not play with anything, loves speed, his motor cycle...............I went to the motor cycle store, thinking I would get him gloves and maybe pants, or a jersey, but walked out with the whole enchilada of what he should wear..................awesome boots, pants, chest protector, jersey, gloves.

What can I say..........they gave me a good deal.............LOL

Papa knocked it out of the park, he set up a go-kart driving lesson ! The morning of his special day, they went together and got him a cool new helmet and goggles. Late afternoon we took him to his go-kart class, which he loved........!

Saturday, the boys ( Max and papa)went wake boarding, first time for Max, and seriously, does it surprise anyone that he got up on the 4th try..........
I can not wait to see him and take some pics !

Sunday was the first time for him to ride his motor on a real track, with little humps and bumps. he was a little discouraged at first, but kept at it ! Now he wants a bigger bike, with gears ( the one he has now is a beginners bike, no gears)

at ACH

Little one had to come for a 48 hour EEG, so he was admitted yesterday. All Children's moved into their brand new building months ago, this was our first time in patient in the new building.

It is beautiful, all private rooms, with bathroom, spacious, huge flat screen for the child and a smaller one for the parent, with internet access. The couch pulls out to a bed, no more c(r)amping on a recliner......................

He has been doing pretty good, little cabin/crib fever from time to time, but doing much better than I expected ! So far no seizures noted, good news !

We also saw GI yesterday and the gastric emptying scan showed definite delayed emptying, so dr upped the dose of erythromycin, hopefully that will do the trick !

Papa is holding down the fort at home, with some help of babysitters this afternoon and tomorrow morning we will be done here !
