Little Drummer Boy

This morning Noah was literally trying to climb up my leg to get onto my lap while I was trying to work. I can only take about 45 seconds of him being on my lap while I'm working before he's playing with the mouse, typing on the keyboard, reaching for things he's not supposed to have, etc. So then I'll put him back down, he'll throw a fit and climbing up my leg starts again.

This morning, I got smart. I always try to distract him with another toy or book or something, but very rarely does it keep his attention for more than a few minutes. So this morning, because I was desperate, I pulled out some pots and pans, a couple of spoons and let him go to town. He was the happiest kid EVER! And honestly, I could work through the racket a lot easier than him trying to climb up me. He banged away on the pots and pans for nearly half an hour. He figured out that if he turned them different directions they made different sounds or if they were touching each other they both rang. I know he loves to drum, he's obsessed with the drum kits for Rock Band whenever we go to a house that has some. Maybe a mini drum kit for Christmas...

I had my appointment with the nephro today. As expected, my potassium levels are still low and my magnesium levels are slowly trending that way as well. Nothing to do right now but increase the meds and keep an eye on it. We're just hoping it won't get any worse :) But I've said it once and I'll say it many times again I'd much rather be dealing with this problem than my blood pressure being ridiculously high, too. I know most likely that's coming, but one thing at a time.

Grant's decided that it's much better given traffic and construction around his office to go in early and then come home early. Wow was it wonderful to have him home just after 5 o'clock today. So after dinner, since it's still cooling down a bit here, we went for a walk up to the gas station and the boys got a treat. Noah had a push-up and you'll just have to take my word for it that he enjoyed it immensely. If you're in Ohio, you can ask one of my sisters to see the pic I sent them on my phone. I unfortunately didn't have the other camera with me at the time. He was a very happy little boy.

Alright, off to watch Grey's Anatomy here in a little bit. I'll try to keep up over the weekend but we all know that's not my strong suit ;-) Until then...

He was totally rocking out
