I know, I am writing a Labor Day post on Halloween, a bit behind here, but for a reason. We went to the Rockies game on Labor Day. During the 6.5 inning they played a little disco music and filmed the crowd for the Jumbo Tron. Kellan and Dexter were dancing away and ended up on the big screen. Jim wrote the Rockies and requested the video. They sent it to us and then I in turn left it on the plane when we went to WA, so we just got it back this past week. When we got the video we realized I was on it and a little glimpse of Zoe, which we didn't know because at that point we didn't know we were being filmed. Jim's been to tons of games all over the country and has never made it up on the Jumbo Tron and here's Dexter, two games in, and makes it. There was some definite jealousy. See link for posting on You Tube - we make our debut at the 1:04ish minute mark. I didn't take the time to edit it since it's for all of about 5 seconds.

We've spent the last few weeks watching MLB playoffs and now the World Series. Kellan has been really into it - lots of questions and talks excessively. I put Zoe & Dexter down early one night, Jim was at softball and he must have talked for two hours straight - from questions about the game, the plays, the players, the commercials, etc. It was really nice. But I have to ask why, why do they have to play Cialis commercials that are about 3 minutes long during baseball? I get it's the perfect audience and all, but luckily it's one thing we'll find Kellan watching and then we're able to distract him from long enough til the next commercial. None of us are ready for that conversation and honestly if it came up there would be a lot of lying.
Dexter gets into the games too. Jim has a couple of prized baseballs up on our mantle. Dexter senses this since there are tons all around the house. Whenever a game comes on, he points to the balls and says "me, me" - we end up giving him one, he beams it at us a few times and is over it.
Dexter has been really sick these past 5 days/nights - lots of vomiting and diarrhea. He's literally been sleeping on top of me at night and won't let us put him down during the day. He's absolutely pathetic. So we've gone from an ear infection number one in WA, followed by a round of antibiotics while in FL, to come home to another ear infection, followed by more antibiotics, one night he slept through the night, followed by this. We're exhausted and have been taking turns napping on the weekends. We'll be glad, mostly for his sake, when this is over. Since Jim took him in for the flu (glad all kids got flu shots and 2 out of 3 of them got the flu) Dexter also had his 15 month check-up. I don't remember Kellan or Zoe having 15 mo check-ups; is this some conspiracy? Anyhow, he's doing great, minus the flu. Still tall 80% and skinny 12% - no exact stats since I can't find the paper at the moment.
Good news for Zoe (and Jim). Zoe got into afternoon pre-school. No more having to wake her up and fight her to get to school on time. She doesn't have to be there til noon and she has friends from the block and last year in the class so she's very excited. She gets to play on the big playground and gets out the same time as Kellan. Jim just may get a few hours to himself as long as Dexter continues to nap in the afternoon.
Go Texas.
