Rebound

Wednesday, June 13, 2012

Again, Dillon has made an astonishing rebound.  After the trials and tribulations of yesterday, today he is doing great.  No nausea, no vomiting, not even that tired.

He and I dropped Luca off at Circus Camp.  Then we went to Trader Joe's to fulfill some of Big D's interesting food cravings.  This is a boy who dislikes fish and seafood; except for calamari, which I am pretty sure is just a vehicle for the fried batter and the yummy sauces that usually accompany the dish.  So when he says..."Mom, I really want some smoked salmon."  I did a double take.  What, salmon....are you kidding me???  Seriously Mom, you know that kind that is sliced thin and is sooooooo good on a bagel.  I want that...and salad.  I cannot get enough salad...with feta of course."  SO off we go to Trader Joe's.  The ever conscientious Dillon advises me that this type of salmon is quite expensive so we need to just get the small package.  How kind, the boy is trying to help us not break the bank :)

When we got back home he promptly informed me that he was going to the neighbor's house to watch a movie and play with the boys (they have 2 boys roughly the same age as ours and they are all great friends).  Fantastic...willingness to socialize....a step, or rather a leap, in the right direction.

We have had a lovely afternoon of salads and conversation.  Dillon and Luca just went for a stroll through the neighborhood so I could finish my work...and this post.  We are going to Luca's hockey scrimmage this evening at Chavez Center and Dillon is enthusiastic to come watch brother on the ice.

Big Breath In!!!!
