Hives
Maybe you can get too many pictures - I’m not going to post the ones Jess took recently of Colin’s skin, because he’s had hives the past few days. We haven’t been able to trace the source, and it doesn’t seem to affect him in any way, but it hasn’t been easy to deal with.
On a brighter note, he’s hilarious, and smart. Jess is always amazed when he pulls his latest feat of astounding recall or understanding; i.e. pulling into the doctor’s office the other day, and he says “cracker”, just because the doctor gave him a cracker at some point in the past. Or when we’re driving by the Y and he just sees the sign and says ‘pool’ or ‘elevator’ (I can’t do justice to his pronunciation on that one). We’ve also been dropping words from other languages on him recently, and for some reason he’s spot on with the pronunciation of those words - ask him to say ‘hello’ and it comes out like ‘a-do’ or something similar. Ask him to say ‘bonjour’, and it’s like he’s growing up in Paris.
I did try to post a photo here, but Blogger sucks sometimes on that front. Have to wait till next time.
