This time he IS better; Rick seemed to have recovered from the nasty bug that was “biting” him on Monday but had a temporary setback yesterday. By 5:00 PM he was feeling much better and this morning he was feeling great. He has been doing well all day, eating everything he wants and making up for lost time by getting things done around the yard.

The weather has been warm here, though overcast with rain periodically so during the rainy periods we have been running errands and checking out some of the local attractions. This morning with Karley and Makai in tow, we went to The Junction, a small shopping mall with a Canadian Tire store, a Save-On Foods, several smaller stores and a movie theatre as well as a couple of coffee shops and eateries. We picked up an assortment of goodies and then headed back home for Makai’s naptime, averting any kind of meltdown from lack of sleep.

This afternoon we all headed over to the Mission Leisure Centre, a modern, recreational complex with an array of pools ranging from a round toddler one to two lap pools and a 300 foot water slide. They also have a great, well equipped gym, two ice arenas, a curling club, an outdoor water spray park as well as several multipurpose rooms. The reason for going there was so Rick could take Makai swimming. Karley and I sat nearby enjoying watching the two of them having a “splashing” good time together and knowing that the activity would make one little boy sleep well tonight. It was also evidence that my hubby is back to his old self again at last!
