Malachi & Elias

St Patrick's Day, and Elias on his 12th round of 3F8s

On St Patrick's Day, Tom played for all the kids at Waverly : 400 kindergartners and first graders! Tom played some bagpipe tunes, showed the kids how the pipes work, and played a medley of "toddler tunes".

Elias started round 12 of 3F8s today. It was a typical Monday at clinic - actually, perhaps even a little more efficient than usual. We were home by 2:30. Elias needed 3 Dilaudid doses today, which isn't bad for the first Monday of a round.

Elias the wolf

Yesterday, Elias came home in wolf ears that he had made in school. They had
acted out the story of the 3 pigs, and Elias was the wolf. He did not want to
take those wolf ears off all evening. He was so proud of them.

Malachi and Elias had a birthday party with their friends

Malachi and Elias had a joint birthday party with their friends at Sheldrake Environmental Center, the same place they had their party last year. This year, the theme was "Creatures of the Night". They did a bat craft, then had pizza. Then the naturalists did a presentation about nocturnal animals. The kids were good and enjoyed the presentation. Elias even answered a question. After that, they went outside and played a game that had to do with bat echolocation. And then they went for a walk in the snow, and saw animal tracks, birds, and the bat house. Finally they had cake.

Here are a few photos
