Secret Obsession

Mark and I were up early this morning and out the door with Chris.  We were on our way to the lab to have blood work done.  He needed to have his labs done before he had his morning medication.  This is so they can have a true read on the actual level of the seizure medication that has been out of sorts!  When we were at the lab this morning Mark's Great Aunt "Snoozie" (that is what he has called her since he was a baby) was working.  She gave Mark his own personal tour of the lab.  He was so excited to see how all the blood was tested, stored, ect.  He would not stop talking about his tour all morning.  I wish I had my camera...he was glowing.  The lab is his other secret obsession (this maybe tied with Santa).  He will ask every time he has blood drawn at Childrens....Where are you sending my blood too?  What floor is the lab on?  How long will it take?  He ask these questions every time we are there... That is a minimum of 6 blood drawings a week.  He is truly obsessed with the lab.  He has been unable to get a tour at Childrens....I guess it pays to know people.  

Not only did Mark have the excitement of his lab tour this morning...He also had another HUGE surprise when he woke up....an ipad!  He came down the stairs this morning and saw the box...all he said is "Where did that come from? & Who's is that?"  I was happy to inform him he was a proud owner of an ipad...thanks to all of the following people : Jaime, Matt, Sam,Tyler,Lisa,John,Danny,Dawn,Mike,Mikey,Dan,Joan,Vicki,Carl,Elsie,Pete,June,Steve,Jeff,Alex & Nikki!  He was all over that ipad!  He had asked Chris and I for one at Christmas.  I had to sadly inform him that Santa does not bring gifts of any sorts from apple!  He was okay with it..I guess.  After all of the early morning excitement Mark had is buddy Tyler over to play.  They played for hours as normal....they are great little best buds!  They were both disappointed when it was time for the fun to end.  Mark had school this afternoon.  Mark again was so busy with Kathie from school today.  She showed as all of Mark's favorite ipad apps, he learned more about penguins and was hard at work for quiet some time.  Now he is waiting on a late after snack, and playing with his play-doh and stickers.  Feels like are days are always filled and never a dull moment.

Mark's new love.

Sticker fun!

BTW....Mark's favorite and only app at the moment is Angry Birds!
