Sometimes I find it very hard to sit and watch my son struggle with trying to understand something. Today was just one of those days. No matter how hard we tried at schoolwork, it wasn't going to happen. Joshua managed to finish some of his required work but some of the things we left unfinished. He just wasn't getting it. I know it's because of the chemo he had earlier this week. I know that the fogginess will go away. I also know that it will happen again. I guess that is the reason why it's so hard to watch him go through it.
Joshua did manage to have a fun afternoon after mommy finally said "close the books!" We went to the park and played a little tennis with Joshua's friend Carly and her mom. I am very lucky to have Carly's mom teach Joshua tennis. Before he was diagnosed, Joshua really enjoyed tennis and he was pretty good for a beginner. I really don't want to see him lose that. We are going to try and get Joshua on the tennis courts as much as possible. He really enjoyed it today.
Later on in the evening the UPS driver dropped off another two boxes - both filled with Legos. Joshua spent the evening again putting together legos and playing with them in his newly cleaned room. He is very happy to have been able to donate a bunch of toys and have lots of shelving now for his lego creations.
FYI....we hear that the owners of LegoLand California just bought Cypress Gardens here in Florida and are going to turn that into a LegoLand Florida. They will be having the official news conference tomorrow! Jarrod and Joshua are already asking for Lifetime Memberships!!
Imagine That!

As sad as I would be to see Cypress Gardens go, it wasn't something my kids wanted to see. I remember seeing it when I was a kid, a million years ago. When Larry and Robert heard about LegoLand in CA they told me that they really really really wanted to go. The one in FL would be so much easier for us to get to! Looks like it is official!

We miss you guys terribly! I hope that most of us will be able to come and see you over Spring Break.
Love you guys!
Hey Snuggle Monkey,
Exciting news!!!! LegoLand in Florida. Your Mom and Dad won't be able to keep you guys in the house. Sounds like a road trip to me.
I'm hoping the chemo fog is lifting as I type. I hate you have to go through it but am glad that it does go away. One of these days, soon we all hope, it will be gone for good.
Keep kickin butt (and swinging the racket) Mighty Warrior.
Tons of Love, Hugs and Kisses,
Nonna
