So the last week was hectic to say the least. We ended in a hotel for most of the week due to plumbing problems at the house. They had to tear out most of the bathroom to fix a leak in the wall so we've been without water and unable to wash up. Lisa & Leng have been nice enough to let us shuttle over to their place to get washed up when we need to. So Dan & Megan had their after party for their wedding here at our place so we were able to get the toilet working and water so the party happened without a hitch. Add to it the street work right in front of our house so we can't even park in our own driveway. So noise outside from street work and noise inside to fix the plumbing = not much peace and quiet here at home. The upside to the bathroom repair is we're getting a much better tub in the deal and the insurance is covering a big chunk of the cost . The repairs should be complete by the end of this week and will be back to normal. :)
The Boy was adorable at the wedding as a hobbit, the wedding has a LoTR theme to it so there were elves, hobbits and men in armor all around. They had candy for the kids to find and an activity table for the kids to make their own trick or treat bags. There was yummy food and hip music to boot. We all had a lovely afternoon at the event and it was great to see my dad marry another happy couple in my life. After the wedding we rested at the hotel and then Tre went out trick or treating with his Aunties and the girls (Nia and Nani). He had a blast and has enough candy to last him until the next Halloween easy.
This week has been hard on all of us with being uprooted from home and the stress that comes from large house projects. Add to it our growing concern over Tre. I was speaking with a friend from up north - Jennifer and she passed on sagely wisdom. Letting us know that his behavior getting worse or him having a harder time was an excellent sign that he was getting better. The Boy has been having crying jags here and there that explode out of nowhere so we've been having to be a little more flexible of late. We'll be doing bath time or getting dressed for school and he'll start to cry and want to be held. So I think we're doing the right things with and for him it can be a little bit of an emotional roller coaster for us. I can see him struggling to make sense of everything we just need to hang in there and give him the time/space to do it.
We have the Boy's birthday this Wednesday and we're having a birthday BBQ for him this Sunday at our house. We'll have eats and a big group over to celebrate the happy occasion with us. For his present we're going to take him to Disneyland and then visit Bill Bailey and his kids that evening for dinner and a slumber party. I'm looking forward to chasing Tre around the park and riding every ride that catches his eye and Larry is equally jazzed about the idea. It's also an opportunity for Billsers to get a chance to recharge his batteries and have some space for himself. It's a win/win scenario for all involved.
That's all for now but stay tuned for more updates.
