Lefty likes artwork, football, cars and more...

Artwork of a 2 year old (or one week shy of being two). He still loves to do artwork...drawing, coloring, painting, gluing, etc etc. He is focused when he works and always starts with colors separate from each other, only mixing occasionally.
 
 
 


He also loves to play with his little toy cars. He'll line them up, push them over to me, I'll push them back, and he'll line them all up again staying very focused when he does so. Is it just me or does he seem to like to keep things linear and in their own space. Remember how he always lined up the "hammer ball" colors on the proper colors every time he played with it at 18 months? Very fun to watch him work.




Playing football with the always elusive kitty cat...this time she's run off under the deck as Fender says "Kitty, catch" and throws a ball right at her. :( Poor kitty.


This week Fender randomly started singing the alphabet song all the time. I was very surprised to hear it and how much he knew. He gets A-P every time...though K is a mumble and LMNOP is a slur ending in P. Then he has three variations on the ending. Mostly he continues with QRS, YZ (skipping TUVWX) and it ends with a high pitch Z. He can also sing the whole song and depending on the focus, he'll either add "next time sing with me" or not. Maybe I'll get a video of it at some point. It is pretty funny. "Where is thumbkin" is another new song he's singing after hearing it only once on an Elmo's World. What a sponge.

And an eye update for me...saw the doc last Wednesday and he seemed surprised by what he saw. There was more inflammation at the back of my eye than before, which led him to suspect toxoplasmosis from a scar I have that he initially dismissed as old and inactive. It is likely many years old, but recently became active. He is treating me with a round of sulfur based antibiotics to see if that will stop it. All the while keeping me on my second round of steroid pills and adding steroid drops to my eye. Sheesh. I am a medicine factory. What he seemed to suggest...is if it is toxoplasmosis causing the uveitis, then if we can stop the infection, it should stop the uveitis flare up putting it into remission, and if that goes into remission, he says my vision should restore itself when things settle down. I check back in with him in two weeks. At which point, things will either be better...or I'm getting another opinion. Have I mentioned how much I loathe wearing glasses!!! At least I finally found the new pair I had lost many months back. Woohoo, the clunkers are gone.

Not the best week for our Cowboys, but Favre and his Charger dressed Jets had a phenomenal game.

Get ready to party people...this is the last week of Fender's 2nd year!
