Knee update...

On Friday I had a cortisone shot injected into the side of my knee after being diagnosed with Ilialtibial Band Brusitis. The doc said it could take up to 3 days to take effect...unfortunately, 3+ days later and it hurts MORE now than it did before the shot. *sigh*

Not sure what my next move is going to be but this half marathon is looking less and less likely to happen for me. I cried about it a little yesterday...silly to cry over but I have worked SOOOO hard training for this to have to just stop cold turkey, which is what I fear I need to do in order for my knee to heal.

Other than that, not much else is happening. Decovin is still going to preschool and LOVING it! He is doing EXTREMELY well with writing but struggling with coloring...he is a bit of a perfectionist and therefore has mini-meltdowns if he goes outside of the lines. I thought maybe it was just how he acted with me at home and would be fine if Miss Tina said it was ok to go outside the lines, but alas, he had a meltdown at school the other day and missed out on playdoh time b/c of it. :-( Not sure how to rectify the situation but hopefully he will grow out of it. :-/

Story Hour at the local library has returned and the boys love going. They get to listen to some great stories, sing songs, do a craft, and play with other kiddos! This week it was VERY packed! It's a fun activity we like to do together! It's at our little library located in New Strawn, which is just 5 miles north of us (we have a library IN Burlington, but this one is more geared towards Camden's age, etc). After story hour all the moms and kids go to the park so the kids can all play together outside (as long as it hasn't rained)...and on our way home I usually take the boys home on the scenic route over the dam and they LOVE looking at the water and Camden loves to look for boats and buoys! :-) Fun tradition I think! I love taking the scenic route...something I grew up with from my dad! Love that I get to pass on this tradition!

Ok, time to take the boys outside to play!!
