Jon has been on vacation this week. We didn't make any big plans for his time off. We just wanted to relax and enjoy hanging out together. In between doctor appointments and social worker visits, we headed to West Side Market, had dinner out a couple times, took some walks, went to the mall and today we headed to the zoo.
The boys always have fun at the mall play area. I don't think Ben saw much of it though. Jon found a hat for him and he wears it so low, I don't know if he can see anything other than his feet! He loves it though.
We had a minor scare at the zoo today. Jon took the boys into the petting zoo. They weren't in there five minutes, but it was too much for Sam. With in minutes, he had blotches over half his face, one eye was swollen and tearing and his nose was running. We called the doctor and made an action plan for him. After about 30minutes, he was doing better. The blotches were gone, but his eye is still swollen and his lips look off. We gave him some medicine and are keeping a close eye on him. I'm 99% sure he will be fine, it just makes me nervous to see his lips change so long after the initial reaction. Other than that, the morning was perfect. The weather is amazing, we saw a lot of animals, Sam got up close to a baboon and both boys seemed to have a good time. We'll be sad to have dad back at work next week.
Check out Bens hat.

Oh no! No wool hats from Auntie Corrie, I promise! Glad to hear he's doing better.
Ben's hat in that final picture it hilarious.
How scary! You might want to get an allergy test to verify a lanolin allergy. Sheep lanolin is often added to lotions, soaps, and other stuff since it's such a wonderful humectant- close to that of humans. Definitely something to watch out for after that kind of reaction. As a huge wool fan, this makes me so sad!
