Cough, cough and Toy Story 3

Balloons always make you feel better.

Nainoa has been sick for the last week and half. Low grade fever, runny runny runny nose and a wet cough. I really try and not take on my mother's hypochondriac tendencies. Sometimes it's hard when she is asking, "You should take him to the doctor. Don't you think he should see someone about his cough?" I got great natural, homeopathic advice from many friends and thankfully Nainoa is on the mend. He still has a little cough and a snotty nose but it's not as bad as it was. He felt well enough to go to Toy Story 3 on ice today. We had such a great time! It was such a fun show. I recommend it to you parents out there. Can I just say how much of a racket Disney is running? I mean seriously, Woody snow cones for 10 dollars? Popcorn in a Mickey Mouse bucket 10 dollars?? I am proud to say we walked away without purchasing any garb.


My six week school break has flown by! It is my last week before school starts. I am taking a week off of work to spend some quality time with the family. Hopefully I will get a few more posts in before I get overwhelmed with school again.

Brisbane Business

Twice in one week we drove up to Brisbane (Ivan drove not me. He is an excellent driver on the wrong side of the rode). On Tuesday we went to see Yo Gabba Gabba. Nainoa loves Yo Gabba Gabba. He was so excited to go see the show but of course after the hour drive and hour wait he then turns and says to me, "I wanna go home!" HUH?? We are FRONT ROW at Yo Gabba. Nainoa gets up and starts running down the aisle toward the exit. This is not happening right now. After much distraction, hence the Muno doll, the show finally started and he was totally stoked.






Thursday we went to see Walking With Dinosaurs. We started to prep Nainoa on how the dino show might be loud. We practiced putting his hands over his ears so he wouldn't get scared. We looked at the trailer a bunch of times. I would say, "K...what do we do when the dinosaur roars and it's too loud?" He then would cover his ears. I was a little nervous on how Nainoa would react to these huuuge, life size, amazingly real looking dinosaurs. He did awesome. Didn't cry. Wasn't scared at all. He did cover his ears a few times in the beginning but then he just got used to it. When the T-Rex came on stage he yelled, "T-REX!!!!!" at the top of his lungs. If this show is ever near you you must go.

Walking with Dinosaurs

Nainoa has a had a busy week. Yo Gabba Gabba on Tuesday and today Walking with Dinosaurs. We have been prepping him and telling his it was going to be loud in some parts so hopefully he doesn't freak out.
