Last week Travis went “down the town” with Alex and his mom Jen and his grandma. “Down the town” is what Alex calls DC and so Travis started calling it that too. They decided it would be a fun thing to take the boys to DC for the day. They went to the museum of Natural History and the highlight of the trip was the DINOSAURS! Travis thought they were soooo cool! He talked about them for days! Apparently Travis didn’t want to touch the bugs they had on display there-who can blame him? Bugs are gross-LOL. The boys were both good and got to pick out a toy on the way out. Travis (no shock here) picked out a safari Jeep and Alex picked out a peteradactyl (sp?). He was wiped out that night-more so than usual since they walked a lot etc. I’m glad they had a good time and they were BOTH good.
Friday my parents watched Travis since he had a pediatrician appointment in the AM and they wanted to take him to the Air and Space Museum. Dad brought him to the doctor at 10:45-his appt was at 11am. Dad went home to pick up Mom….. Evan and I sat with Travis in the waiting room for about 15-20 minutes. We were called back and sat in our room for an HOUR AND 15 MINUTES!!!!! It is really hard to keep an active 4 year old in the room for that long. Travis did remarkably well and only “broke free” once. He watched fire trucks videos on my phone for a lot of the time-gotta love You tube! The doctor finally came in and apologized for taking awhile. Travis lost a pound since starting his meds but we told her overall is seemed to really be helping. She upped his dose since he was tolerating it well and to help with the wear off late in the day. So far the new dose is going well. Travis was unhappy when we left since I guess he thought Mom and Dad were going home too-he cried for about an hour with my parents. Sorry Mom and Dad….. We had a nice dinner that night-Mom and Dad got carryout from Macaroni Grill-yummy! Mandy and Charlie came over for dinner as well…..after Travis went to bed we all played RockBand until around midnight or so.
Saturday was actually a lazy day for the most part. We were going to go to the air show but decided against it-too crowded and we weren’t sure if Travis was going to be happy with all the noise. I went to the mall with my sisters to help Tammy find a dress for a wedding she was going to that night. Otherwise it was laundry, playing, errands and dinner out. I can’t even remember what we did Saturday night!
Sunday it rained almost all day so we did the usual-grocery shopping, errands etc. The sun did try to come out in the late afternoon. We played outside some with Kelly. After Travis went to bed Cal and Wendy came over to play RockBand. After many bottles of wine we finally called it a night at around midnight-ish.
