Sunday with My Boys

We all woke up very early this morning to drop daddy off at the airport for his business trip. He will be attending conferences in San Diego! Lucky duck!

My parents are currently on the road headed that direction. They will not arrive until tomorrow evening. So, I'm here alone. It's been 2 weeks and a couple days since my tonsil surgery. I went in for my follow-up appointment and he said it just take more time to heal. I feel much better and can eat pretty normal now, but the right side of my throat hurts a lot still. Everything seems to be healing normally though. He said they had to go very deep for my tonsils, so it may take an extra week or two. Yeah! Today is the most I've had to talk. So far, I'm doing fine, it's only 3pm though.

After the early morning airport drop-off, I told the boys it was time to go back to bed when we got home (it was still dark out after all). Cameron went right into his bedroom and Trevor wanted to come in bed with me. Neither went to sleep though, so I gave up after about 20 minutes. We got up, did therapy and breakfast. Then, we watched Mary Poppins for the first time. The kids thought it was funny. They like the animated part the best, of course. After that, I took them both outside to work on their bike-riding skills. Trevor still doesn't understand how to petal and Cameron's training wheels are off, but he is scared to do it without someone holding his seat. After about 20 minutes going between the two of them, I was pretty tired! But, we came inside, got some water, and then packed up for the zoo.

We got there right when it opened, so it wasn't very busy at all! That was nice because Trevor whined the majority of the time we were there. He rubbed his sunblock in his eye and fussed the whole time! Cameron was wonderful. We were able to catch a Sea Lion training and went around looking at all the animals. Cameron really liked the monkeys today. The orangutan was hanging right in the window looking at us and the monkeys were playing around in their area, so it was entertaining to watch. As we were leaving Cameron got a bag of popcorn to eat after his lunch, which he was very excited about! He ate the whole bag himself! Trevor fell asleep in the car on the way home, which is never good, but he stayed asleep all the way to his bed and took a good nap. So far, so good, seems like we've done a lot already and it's only half way through the day!
