A J Fam friend’s birthday party was held at a gym and there was much fun to be had! Daddy helped Scarlet on some of the equipment. She looks like a natural to me!!!

W Fam Updates … Piano Man

Climbing Up to Play Piano, originally uploaded by hljscj.

This is probably one of the most natural smiles one will ever see from Aaron. He was particularly accommodating as he climbed up on the ottoman in order to play the piano. He has a whole routine down and it works very well.

A is quite gentle with the piano to date. He loves to have others play with him. Just wish I knew some songs to play for him as I am guessing he would really enjoy that! Mom and Dad … get someone to play the piano for him since he loves it so much!!!

W Fam Updates … Lactose Intolerance

Aaron has had a very difficult fall this year.  He had a stomach virus for about a week and wound up at a surgery center to stave off dehydration as per the post below.  And then the illness continued … but not quite as badly.  Aaron would just get listless and throw up the meal he had just eaten.  Missy noticed that it was after meals where he had eaten milk products.  Then she read on the internet …

… that young children can experience lactose intolerance after a stomach virus as the tummy tries to get back to normal.

Ding!  Ding!!  Ding!!!  The doctor thinks this may be Aaron’s problem as well.  The fact that Aaron kept down Grandmother’s Lactaid milk would appear to confirm this diagnosis.  Welcome to the club, little man!  Hopefully you will quickly get back to normal and be able to eat like a champ again.  Probably a good thing that Grandmother won’t be resuming a normal diet anytime soon as it helps to keep her weight down!!!
