Lil E

Things happen for a reason and I have come to believe this, even if it takes a long time to see why.  Lil E possibly has a very unusual medical condition and I must say we here are at wits end trying to figure out what to do and how we can help him.  There is no fix for this condition; just ways to manage the symptoms, so what to do???  I am taking it one day at a time, and am enjoying his 51/2 year old antics, the never ending curiosity that he has, and his smiles. 

 Between work, home, and now this medical dilemma, one has to just go with the flow and think in a positive direction to avoid an overwhelming weight that you can place upon yourself as a parent/human being.  One must keep on enjoying snapshots of the day, and what follows is one of them from yesterday.  He got some new sandals and he climbed up on a rock, so I took a picture of his lil toes.  

He also lost his top middle tooth last Sunday; at 3 am in the morning he came running into our room announcing that he pulled his loose tooth out.  How exciting! 

Another fun thing happened at work.  One of my co-workers was helping the Easter Bunny early.  She was placing plastic Easter Eggs close by my classroom, so when Lil E and I were walking in the morning to my class he would find eggs; this happened almost every single day.  Most of the eggs had loose change in them, one had a dollar, and a few had some candy.  How sweet and what a wonderful memory for him to have!
