Happy Snowy Easter

Happy Easter. I love all of the snow we got this weekend. I've been able to play in it while Mom and Dad shovel over and over again.

The Easter bunny left me a basket full of eggs and toys to find this morning. There are plastic eggs EVERYWHERE! After a super long nap, we went to Grandma and Grandpa P.'s house where I wrestled with my cousins.

I had a blast touching the dog.

That's two weekends in a row that we went over there, because we celebrated my cousin Tavito's birthday last week, too!

I love Grandma and Grandpa

My cousins tire me out!

This is me in a nice restaurant (Cheesecake Factory) last night.

...And 2 minutes later...

It's SCIENCE!

First of all, everyone can breathe a sigh of relief because my eye is just fine. The drops weren't that bad either.

I've had a really fun week. Saturday afternoon we went to Underwater World at the Mall of America with Garreth and Andrea. I liked the big fish and the rays a lot, but my favorite part was definitely the moving walkway!

I also got to hang out with my cousins for a little bit. They even played fort with me!

Monday my buddy Garrett came to visit and our Mom's took us to the Science Museum. That place is awesome!

Doctors?... or Aliens?!?!

With news like this, there's no more excuses for Dad to put off helping me with my posts. I just got back from my first trip to urgent care. I hurt my eye earlier today and it's been watering non-stop and hurts. I have to squint a lot. For some reason, my parents thought that the best course of action was to take me to have someone hold my eye open and squirt things in there. That did NOT HELP. How did this occur? Mom, Dad, and two strangers co-conspired to hold me down in a death grip while one of them wrenched open my injured eye! I think I saw part of a movie on TV where aliens held someone down and put a probe into his eye. That's pretty much what happened, except that Mom and Dad not only approved, but participated!

Dad insists I let him tell his side of the story.

Harley started to cry and rub his eyes around 6pm like he'd been poked in the eye or something, but was able to open it. After 2 hours, when his right eye was still watering, (and Michelle came home and insisted I call the nurse immediately), we took him to urgent care, thinking his eye may have been scratched. Luckily we got right in since it was already past bed time. The doctor put numbing drops in, then put a dye in his eye that will fill a scratch and fluoresce under a black light. Harley's so strong, it took 4 of us to hold him still and keep his eye open. The dye showed a decent sized corneal abrasion (scratch) right in the center of his eye. What Harley doesn't know yet is that we have to administer antibacterial eye drops 4 times a day for a few days to prevent any infection as it heals. Hopefully it will get better as he gets used to it rather than worse as he realizes what's we're up to.

I'm too traumatized to talk about it anymore. Let's move on...


Happy Birthday, Garrett. Your party was fun, thanks for inviting us. I really like your toys and your room. I've been trying to talk Dad into buying me a remote control car. Maybe he'll feel guilty enough now that I got hurt on his watch. Next time I see you I'll teach you how to go down stairs. Slide down on your stomach if you're in a hurry, but the butt slide is much more fun.

I'm learning to share.

Still the babies.

I needed a break and was ready to go home.

Dad's been building forts for me to climb on and I love it!

There was actually one day in the last month warm enough for me to play outside.

Hello? How come nobody ever calls me?
