Today was a stay at home day. It was snowy and just bad weather today. When I got there he was just having his coffee, we drank coffee together and read the paper a little. I made lunch at home, he didn’t eat very much but snacked all day and had an ensure. We played the Ker Plunk game, it was fun :) we were going to watch the body worlds DVD but I couldn’t find it, we played ping pong instead. Before I left, I set him up for a shower.
MERRY CHRISTMAS! I came over this evening for a little bit to watch George open his Christmas presents! It was about 6:00 and they were still on the table. He really liked the dog that we get to paint together (Maybe tomorrow, it’s a storm tonight). He said “I’ve never gotten anything like this before” He really liked it. Thanks Sharon for getting fun things for us to do together. He really liked the throw/blanket too as you can see in the picture :) He went with Dennis and the boys to Tracy’s too!
Today was so cool! We made the ginger bread house and George is so proud of it! He spent so much time on it, a little over two hours. (He did all of it! and decided where everything should go, I did suggest a door knob and putting the pinwheels on but other than that, it's all him!). He is really into detail, and if you look at it you will see the symmetry and how the colors are in the same place's. When we first started, the roof kept falling down and I was trying to video tape it but the batteries ran out and I couldn’t take a picture of him building and decorating it because both our hands were full! He said “This isn’t so easy” (Like we thought it would be). After he was done he stood up and said “That does look nice!” He was so proud of it! The look on his face was priceless. We ended up putting it on the table and he said it was “The centerpiece” He really wanted to display it, and put it in a spot where people could see it when they first came in. He first asked me to put it on the ledge and was talking about putting 2x2's up to support it, (I suggested the table). Today was fun.
Today when I came over George was trying to find his keys. After he got ready to go and when we got done looking through the body’s exhibit book (I’m so glad that he went!) then he was ready to go. I asked him what his favorite part of the exhibit was and he said “Well of course the female body.” For lunch he wanted to just drive and find a place, we ended up going to Kowloon’s, we had been there before when they first opened. After lunch we went to the pet store. His weight today was about 103 lbs. and BP was 120/70.
On Friday I came over later than usual, when I got to the house Sharon and David were there! They got in town last night. (Good to see you guys :) ) George was ready to go and get his hair cut when I got there. We went to get his hair cut then went to lunch at...I forgot the name but it’s a Chinese restaurant right by his barber shop. I was asked if I was his daughter! Twice, do I look Japanese? We were talking about that in the car when we left and George was laughing. When we got home I asked him if he wanted to play ping pong before I left. (I was thinking a few minutes; we ended up playing for 45 minutes!) Sharon and David came home and Sharon played ping pong with her dad for a few minutes. (Thanks for getting the gingerbread house! That will be fun for us to do when the weather is bad).
Friday November 28th I came over a bit later, I can’t remember where we went to lunch but when we came home, we played ping pong downstairs and he’s actually pretty good! Dennis came home and got video of us playing. He said he would try to put it on the blog. Today (Wednesday 12-3) he had just barely gotten up when I got there, I fixed him some breakfast, he made coffee then we went to cash his check and to the store afterwards. We did some laundry and I fixed him some lunch at home, when he was done he cleaned up the leaves outside. His weight today was 100 lbs. and his BP was about 115/70ish.
