Fell Behind - Two Posts in One

I was going to post the last two days because I had a few pictures from things we've been doing as short updates. That didn't happen - I fell behind. I love updating and posting pictures but I think my parents would appreciate to see me doing my homework instead.

I started a new class - Literature and Film - on Monday. It's my last Gen ed, it's completely online, but it's hard. It's very in depth, based completely off of discussions and interpretations of different novels and films. I'm trying to get ahead because the last two weeks of the class (it's only 4 weeks long) are when Brode has surgery and the week after when he'll be home with staples. I'd rather read ahead and watch the movies, write down my thoughts then answer the questions when they come up and can submit them on time. This plan = stress and confusion.

So anyways, here are our updates! Monday we went to Milwaukee. Yet again, another Milwaukee Monday. Brode had a CT scan scheduled for 8:00 AM which meant leaving the house by 6:00. I'll just remind you again that Brode slept until 10:00 AM the day before so 5:45 wasn't looking like it was going to be easy. I scooped him right out of his crib and put him directly in the car and we were on our way before he could fully get his eyes open. The scan went well, he did need sedation but he recovered very quickly and was more than ready for breakfast and some juice. The surgeon showed us his scans right away and was very happy with how things looked. They didn't need to change their plan and said the plates look like they'll come right out. All good news. We headed out for lunch afterwards, came home to do some errands and play and by that time it was dinner!

Brode still trying to wake up from the sedation.

He was extremely hungry for breakfast afterwards.

Brode kept throwing his toys and things on the floor on the drive where we couldn't reach them so I told him he needed to hold on tight. This is what I got:

Tuesday wasn't anything exciting - until 10 minutes before bed. Brode was begging for the sidewalk chalk out of the bottom of the garage toybox. We traced our feet, drew circles, wrote our names, and then drew balloons. The balloons got large and colorful. Brode then found it more fun than ever to slide through the colorful balloons and rub the chalk all over himself.

A bath came quickly after!
