A Day in The Park..............Well Sort of..............

Tristan, Wyatt, Bella and I had a lovely day outside yesterday!  It was our first real journey out into the big world.........outside of church last Sunday.............it felt so good to get back out into the mix of things!  We went with the Riehles over to Asante (spelling?) at 163rd and Grand and took some cool family pics.............well, kind of pics of everyone.........and some mixed family pics!  Tristan enjoyed wandering around and seems more and more like his old self every day.........much to our delight!  Well actually, Wyatt and Tristan and Bella enjoyed wandering around a bit too much...........I thought one would end up in the water with the fishies for sure!   After pictures we had some lunch and did a bit of shopping (at Ulta..........the ultimate boy's store, right????) and then headed to the doctor.  Tristan had his first follow up with is own pediatrician, Dr. Serrino.  Doc didn't know what to say except WOW!  He had only read partially through the 29 page discharge report from the hospital, so Mommy had to give him the short version on Boy Wonder.  He was as relieved as anyone to see Tristan sitting in his office fighting with his brother and sister...........a wonderful change from just a few short weeks ago..........Tristan for his part was NOT happy to be going to the doctor.  He told me he didn't want to see any doctors and he didn't want to go back to St. Joe's!  (Sorry any St. Joe's nurses or staff..........nothing personal I'm sure........)  I assured him he was just going to have a check up.  But then he ended up getting the swine flu shot.  Oops.  Guess he got more than we bargained for.  Oh well, nothing an Otter Pop wouldn't fix when we got home.   You would think after his big busy day out that he would have been ready to go home and crash........but no.........on to video games when we got home!  He can't seem to get enough of playing PS3 with his Daddy!  And Daddy can't get enough of Tristan.  He calls home during work to see how his boy is doing.......can we all collectively say, "Awwwwwwwwwwwww!"  All things considered, this has been a pretty life altering event for all of us...........it isn't just Daddy that is uber-sensitive now :-)   I'm posting a few pics so you can see how great Tristan looks now..............and a few just for fun!  Until next time........................   Shannon
