Kevin has learned to manage our Bose CD player, and keeps us in music much of the day, especially when we are "puzzling." We are working on a puzzle Karin had made from a photo taken on their wedding day of the newlyweds with parents and brothers. It is strange, but Karin accidentally chose a photo in which her eyes are closed! Also the resolution of the photo when blown up to a large puzzle is not so great. Very unusual for her to have made two such gaffs! I had never put this puzzle together before, so never realized it. I suspect that she never put it together either! I am ready to throw it in the trash, and keep saying that to Kevin. It is a bear of a puzzle!!! He eagerly struggles on, and, I think, does better than I do!
When Kevin came to me three weeks ago, he had an itchy rash the size of a fifty cent piece on his thigh. I bought some anti-itch cream which didn't seem to help, plus tried some cosmetic creams to clear it up. After coming home a week ago, I tried possible remedies in my meds cabinet, but nothing helped. After speaking to Daddy about it, I learned he has had it for a year! I decided, this is enough. We are going to the walk-in clinic today. The $100 verdict is Ringworm -- something which requires vigilance to clear up. We now have the right cream and hope for quick success. Mommy used to get ringworm too.
We stopped for a car wash on the way home. The owner has a five month old German Shepherd. Kevin and the owner's son had great fun with the puppy!
Aunt Diane stopped by this afternoon! Saying goodbye "is such sweet sorrow."
For our big muscle activity of the day, we went back to the splash park. Since today is a Canadian holiday, it was very crowded.
As soon as we arrived, so did two ice cream trucks. Grandma only brought a credit card for the parking machine; no cash. Bad mistake.
Here is a photo Mommy took at this park three years ago now.

He moved on to the playground. The two boys behind him are older and much more adept at this piece of equipment.
Kevin tried to copy them, but just couldn't which brought tears over and over again. He did not understand why they could do what he could not. The boys were very kind and offered to let Kevin go ahead of them several times.
We moved on to swings, and I discovered that he has learned to pump himself, at last!!!
Finally, fun came his way! He met 6 year old Mario, and they had a wonderful time together!
