Low-key weekend before a super busy week!

We had a pretty uneventful weekend. We kept things low-key, which was really nice. We all are still healthy, knock on wood, and I feel like we are cheating fate somehow. Last year was filled with constant sickness, so this is quite the change of pace for us. I love it and I am soooo grateful for it!

We noticed toward the end of last week that Elijah's pupils seemed a tiny bit dilated. We talked to Dr. G about it and he thought it was probably a lasting effect from the drugs/anesthesia given to him during his heart cath earlier in the week. He said not to worry unless Elijah had a lot less energy (umm, definitely not the case). His pupils seemed to be back to normal by the weekend, so we were able to cross that worry off the list.

Elijah discovered his love for Swiss Cake Rolls this weekend. Dan handed him one not knowing what he would think of it (he has always had issues with brown or red food, especially if it has a hard or unique texture), and he devoured it in about sixty seconds and then promptly started in on the second one, just STUFFING it into his mouth. Like mother, like son!

This morning between the hours of 5:25 and 6:05, we could hear Elijah repeatedly and excitedly exclaiming, "PLOPPPP! PLOP! PLOOOOOPPPPP!" from his bed. This comes from a part in one of his current favorite books where Froggy falls off his chair at school and goes PLOP! on the floor. Elijah finds this hilarious (obviously). When I went into his room he had a huge grin on his face and he said his sweet, "Hi Mama!" and then continued on with the PLOPPPP!-ing.

We have a really busy week ahead of us, so I'm sure it will fly by just as all the others do. I have to get some more pics posted soon or Elijah's grandparents are going to start having withdrawals (sorry!!). We will try to get a few up this week!
