Trip to the Big City

Last week we made a trip to KC for G's follow-up MRI six months after surgery. He was such a great sport and worked with everyone without a complaint. We were amazed at how much he has grown up since his MRI last year.

He had an OT appointment before going in for the MRI. The therapist was very happy with his range of motion and strength. She feels like the skin color and scar tissue will continue to improve for up to a year after surgery. We did order a new glove. He requested black with Batman on it. He earned the medal for being so good.

Greyson's MRI followed and took about 2 hours. The interventional radiologist read the scans after and didn't find anything he felt like needed to be taken care of now. He does have some tissue filling up in his bicep area but it isn't bothering him. We sent everything on to Nationwide Children's docs in Columbus, OH and will wait to hear what they have to say. If there will be any follow-up treatments we will let you know.

We finished up our trip with a visit to the bookstore...

and PF Chang's where G learned how to use his chopsticks...

...and he did a little reading on the way home. 

The day was fun for sure.

Navigating a Walk

Greyson has been watching a lot of Jake and the Neverland Pirate's on Disney in recent days.

 

Before we left on our walk Tuesday evening he said he needed to take his "map".

For the first 2 blocks he would stop, unroll and check the map, drop it, and then have to pick it up and roll it back up.

During the walk we had mailbox races, he stopped to check out dirt piles, and he pretended he was a ghost (hat pulled over his face). We are really not sure where he got that idea but it started the night we bought the hat.

 

It was hysterical to watch and even made the cold wind bearable. On the way home we ended up carrying the map and then of course Greyson.

Easter Trail-ride (another 1st)

We were invited to spend Easter Sunday with my dad and his friends at their home for dinner and some horseback riding. 

As many of you know Greyson is OBSESSED with Dad's horses and especially Bubba. 

After spending the weekend with Dad and Beck and all the horses he now knows each horses name and most of the time identifies them each by name correctly. 

Sometimes he does get Bubba and Buddy mixed up but so do I since they are brothers and look very similar. The funniest is that he has renamed Grandpa Roberts' horse Sam who is now known as "Bebe" (baby).

Greyson rode Bubba (his favorite) with my Dad, Michael, and Me in the arena and we took him on his first official trail-ride and he LOVED it.

 Not one complaint except that he wanted to see all the horses behind us.

 After the trail ride he wanted to get on every horse and even did some tricks.

Seems Like Summer

This past weekend we went to North West Arkansas for some fun with family and shopping of course. We stopped at Lewis & Clark's to drop off our bikes for service, Callie did our hair, and we went out on the lake. Here are some shots of Greyson's fun day.

Good times, like the shirt says :)
