My munchkin visits the doc


This morning we all went for a drive and looked at the 1 and 2 acre lots for sale at the base of the mountain. They're beautiful. This is where I want my dream home. I want to live there so bad. Some day...
After the drive came home put Brady down for a nap. I also decided to take one myself. Jas came and woke me up for Brady's doctor's app't. He had his 2 year old check up. I am so glad that the GP we had in the city knew this doctor here and recommended him. He is so good. Brady loves him. The doctor let Braydon wear his stethoscope and help him with all his instruments. He asked Brady to help him with the rest of his patients and then when we were leaving Brady starts following him down the hallway to the next office. I'm like noooooo, Dr. C was joking!! Doctor thought it was pretty funny tho. Anyways, he's referring Braydon to a speach therapist. He only says about a dozen words still and it was one of my concerns that I brought up. The doctor agreed with me and said he should have a larger vocabulary and should be speaking in two word sentences by now. It's not his hearing and he can understand everything we're saying to him and is too smart for his own good at times. He's just not talking too much. Will be getting a call from the therapist when we can get in for an app't. I heard she's good and specializes in toddlers and thankfully, she's here in Dauphin. Also, apparantly, I'm doing everything right with Braydon and Jason's illness. The doc said it was good that I'm keeping Brady in a regular routine and keeping things as normal as possible under the circumstances. I felt better than because I have been worrying about the pyschological effects it might have on Braydon.
Afterwards, went to Wallyworld. Course, Brady had to take a ride in the car and on the horsey. Reminder to self, need more quarters. Picked up a few things, ordered Brady's cake at Safeway and picked up hot dog supplies for supper. Decided to go with the construction cake. It has a bunch of tractors, trucks, etc on top of the cake and he can keep them afterwards to play with. Close enough to Bob the Builder. Can't wait till he sees it. Came home and played outside. He is obsessed with playing in the vehicles. Loves to pretend to drive. He can sit in there for an hour doing just that!
After Braydon went to bed, watched Munich. Didn't really know what it was about beforehand. It's a good movie tho and I never knew that actually happened. Didn't recognize any of the actors, but they all did an awesome job.
Jas' pain is getting worse. He's back to taking 50 ml of morphine every hour again. I think the naseau has worn off from the chemo and now he can feel all the pain again. The cancer nurse said the pain should start lessening next week. Takes about 3 weeks after chemo for the cancer tumors to start shrinking. If pain lessens, it's a good sign. Keeping my fingers crossed.
Decided that tomorrow gonna start busting my ass in losing weight. Can't stand it anymore the extra weight I've gained in the past year. Gonna try jogging, which Pennie will love. Must stop drinking pepsi too and start drinking water. Plus the addiction to Salt n' Vinegar chips has to be broken.
Seems like it's been a long day so I'm off to bed.
