Rocket Man


This is a great toy that Odin got from his Nana (my mom) for his birthday. It wasn't at the party (for anyone reading who doesn't remember it) because it came in a big box so we took it out first to make room for all the other stuff he got. It's a cool rocket ship by Radio Flyer (same people that make the red wagons) and it has a storage bay under the seat and the buttons all make different sounds of blasting off or hearing the computer voice tell you what planet you're on. I was standing in the kitchet making breakfast a few minutes ago and he was pushing it around like he always does. Then he just clibmed on it and started pushing off with his feet to actually ride it around! It was so cool! He had another little buggy that Zaideh (my dad) got him, but he was too little to ride it at the time. It opened up to transform from a sit-on car to a pushable-type-thingy so he could learn to walk. Well, he started walking and pushing that thing around before he was able to sit and push around on it, and now if we fold it up so he'll ride on it he gets angry and wants it back up in the standing position. But he just crawled on to this rocket ship on his own and started riding it.

Lately he's been really obsessed with his sandals. He loves to wear them and he gets mad when you take them off. It's a good thing too because now he can just run wherever so we can take him outside a lot and he loves to just take off.

We took him to the doctor yesterday to find out he has another ear infection, so we had to figure out what kind of antibiotic he can still take and hope it works. He's also got a little eczema but the doctor said it'd probably go away if we just put the right stuff on it. Odin doesn't seem to be bothered by it.

Yay, I'm glad he likes his rocket ship! Boo about the ear infection; you had plenty of them. No wonder he wanted all the water, then, probably swallowing helped the ear pressure and the water on his throat helped it feel less dry and scratchy.

And remember that sweet face when he's 11 or 12 and growly, or 14 or 15 and mad at you about something.
