Weather & Magic...or lack thereof.

This morning I tried to wake Aidan with the excitement of going to preschool and the pumpkin patch. He informed me that he wanted "five more minutes" of sleep. Finally he got up and had a great breakfast of Apple Jacks (ew), got dressed, did his morning potty (12 minutes...I think the boy's a camel), took his medicine, brushed his teeth, got his backpack and headed out the door with Dad. Little did he know that since the weather is rainy, cold and gross, the trip to the PP was re-scheduled. It rained last night and they (Peach Tree Farms) said that their tractor wouldn't be able to drive to the patch. He will be extremely sad (I didn't DARE mention the trip...maybe he forgot? Yeah, right. And I didn't think about what I want to eat for lunch the second my eyes popped open this morning. Sure.) and it will be a long & agonizing time waiting for the 23rd, the re-scheduled date, to arrive. The child wants Halloween to be here so badly he can hardly wait! Yesterday he told me that he wants to be Spiderman the first time and a Sorcerer the second time. (Apparently he thinks Halloween will come twice this year) Anyway, we were using a chopstick to retrieve a Pinky Ball from the rather tight opening to the inside of his Discovery Toys Castle thing-a-ma-bob, and he decided that it made a great wand. The chopstick magically helped the squishy ball out of the castle so it must be a wand, right?! I wish it were true...I'd magically make the weather cooperate!

Oh, in case you're wondering...the medicine is simple amoxicillin (I'm sure that Ernest Duchesne & AlexanderFleming wouldn't appreciate the word "simple") to treat an infection in a canker sore on his gum. Ouch! It was HUGE! He had been complaining of it hurting and was very whiney (see the "It's Fall, Ya'll" post). By Thursday night it was so big that you could barely tell that his nose was separate from his upper lip. Poor little guy! He's much better now that we're on day 5 of the medication. :)
