Stuffs

When I went to pick Wm up from Clubhouse yesterday, he had a crazy nosebleed. It actually scared me a bit! Wm pulled the tissue away and saw a big clot of blood and went "ahhhh…oohhhhh no!" and even though it made me catch my breath, I had to be all, "What? That? Nothing. No big. Happens all the time. Totally normal." So he calmed down and then we managed to get him home and a snort of nasal spray later it was stopped. I thought he was going to bleed to death there for a minute! That kid has the most temperamental nose.

Wm was super thrilled this morning because I got him new calcium chews that are chocolate. He goes, "DO I GET ONE OF THESE EVERY DAY?" When I told him yes, this was his response:

Vitamins are awesome!! Strong bones!

Wm has been having super fun times at Clubhouse and we are gearing up for vacation next week. We have lots of fun stuff planned! A couple days at a fancy cabin in Hocking Hills (hiking, canoeing, heading into Athens, swimming at Lake Hope), then taking Wm to his first concert, and, finally, hitting up the state fair!  After that….it's time for school shopping. :(

I came across these pictures of The Ville about a hundred years ago and thought they were neat. Back then, it was the location of the Columbus Zoo and an amusement park. It all closed permanently in the 1930's. Shame.

Roller coaster!

The trolly entrance 

Major attraction!

Schroeder, too, has been having a delightful summer. Here he is lounging fatly on the ottoman. It can barely contain his furry gut. Steve is trying to avoid being in the picture. Failed.

Spoiled.
