Movin' on up!

Well, it's time! We're moving this week...my "to do" list has grown in ways I've never imagined! I need a list for all of my lists! LOL

We've been clearing out the new house and wow, was there ever a lot of STUFF! We've made excellent progress -- but we're no where near finished yet. The carpet is installed (well technically they're finishing up today) and the painting is almost done.

I interestingly enough was able to move most of our kitchen and bathroom items over this week...and I thought those would be the last rooms to be moved!

The big day is Thursday....

Jack goes for Botox on Friday morning...we're very excited to see the results.

I'll be back to update when I can!

Hair...

Yesterday at Wal-Mart I saw the cutest kids' haircutting kit. It included clippers, scissors, a comb and a cape. It boasted to be quieter and less scary (which was a plus in my book!!) so I snatched it up and put it in the cart.

Jack has an awful cold, so our Easter plans were canceled. We packed boxes and cleaned out the garage (for the upcoming move) while Jack napped all afternoon. Jason went to visit family while Jack and I stayed home. I had the brilliant idea that I was going to give Jack a hair cut! I've seen daddy do it several times so i thought -- a piece of cake, right?

Well, I chose the wrong setting and Jack is next to bald. I wanted to throw up. I am so upset. You can see his scalp...his shunt protrudes out and you can see his SKIN! I was in the bathtub with Jack when Jason got home and he gasped when he saw him! I feel so horrible. I KNOW everyone's going to comment...and of course we see every therapist and of course there's school...I want to cry! In fact, I already have.

I won't even post pictures, that's how bad it is. I am wearing a hat on him until it grows back. Luckily his hair seems to grow quickly so hopefully it'll start to fill in in a few weeks...

Well, it certainly was an interesting holiday weekend...

Edited to add....
Thanks guys. In the big picture having no hair is okay I guess...LOL! I am sort of used to in now...and Jack loves to feel the prickles on his head. Daddy loves to ask Jack where his hair went...and we are getting quite a chuckle out of the whole thing. I've been labeled "Worst hairdresser in the world" and I have to agree I won't ever do it again! LOL!

Walker!

It was so nice out yesterday! Jack and I went to visit one of my very best friends...she just got a new puppy (a little pug) and Jack had so much fun playing he didn't want to leave!

When we got home it just seemed way too nice to stay inside so we went out front and played ball on the side walk. Jack was sitting on the steps and I was throwing the ball to him...he loved it! I got a little tired of chasing the ball into the street so I asked Jack if he wanted to go for a walk with his walker. He seemed perplexed by the question because up until yesterday we've only walked around the house or at school with the walker.

Jack did an EXCELLENT job! I was too leary of letting him walk on his own because of being on the sidewalk so I had a hand on the walker at all times. We went down the block to the mailbox and back! At certain points we had to stop only because he was laughing too hard to walk at the same time...which in turn made me laugh until i had tears! We would catch our breath and continue on our way. We were heading back towards the house as daddy was getting home...he parked the car and then we all went to Friendly's for dinner. Jack sat in a booster seat (no highchair!!!) and was such a good boy!

We had an excellent day yesterday! I plan on taking him for an outside walk at least once a day!

Oh...Jack walked with the walker all over school last week. His favorite thing to do is use the walker to go over to the sink and wash his hands. He was able to stay standing and turn the water on at the same time!!! The PT was thrilled! I only wish I could have seen it!
