Hi All!

Ian started swimming and t-ball (again) this week.
He is a lot more "focused" on t-ball since he turned 4. He is throwing a lot better. He already knew all the bases from last time. Next week they will be hitting the ball (stand well away while this is going on).

He seems to have discovered things he can do himself ever since the day he turned 4 (July 5) that he could not do the week before wjen he was only 3!

He has been earning lots of stickers on his Chore Chart. We replaced "no dribbles in the underpants" to "walk with Bruno."

Ian has been asking a lot of questions about death, dying, heaven, etc.
He is fairly matter-of-fact about the whole thing.

"The ambulance picks up the dead persons and takes them to that one church that's only for dead persons. Thennnnn, the dead person's friends and mama go to the cemetary to say goodbye and then when they leave the dead person suddenly will go up to Heaven. No dogs or animals will dig up the dead person because it's in a box that is buried deep deep. You can't see the person's when they are dead because they are in that box and can't get out. Usually it is locked.
You can see them when you go to heaven with Norman and Sharkey and all Grandma's old dogs. They play ball at Heaven and eat bones. We don't know what heaven looks like, not even mama. When you go to heaven you don't ever come back to this earth. Good that we know some people and cats and dogs there already."






I have my gall bladder surgery on Mon, Aug 11. Not looking forward to it, but I'll be glad to not have that issue (PAIN) any more.
