No sweat.


These pics were taken last week at the RCH.

We went back to the RCH with moral support from Dad today. The test failed again twice and we had to come to the conclusion that Bubs is just not a sweater. If he needs to do some other test to rule out CF we will find out about it at the follow-up appointment on friday.

Mat won a CD from PBS radio on the way back from the Vic Market this morning and was itching to pick it up. Looks like a good compo' of world music goodness from Shock Records/Filter Music.

Before heading back we popped into mixed business in Clifton Hill. We sat out in the sunny court yard and let someone else be hospitable for a change. Nice coffee and food.

The best part was watching the boys make a miniature cafe under a giant nasturtium leaf 'umbrella' with a rock 'table' and succulent leaf 'chairs' for lavender 'people'. it was lovely to see them being so imaginative/creative with natural items as play-things.

We took these pics awhile ago at Batman Park.

For real! I love playgrounds. John and I were looking for something to do while Ed and Em went to Dairy Queen and we seriously contemplated asking for a drop off at the local playground. Weeee!

Your boys are so cute. I hope Bubble's doing well. I certainly empathize will all the allergy/asthma ridiculousness.
