Catching up on Sleep

It is after 9am and Junior is still sleeping. Usually he would have been up getting his first set of treatments a few hours ago. Once in awhile though we have to weigh his need for sleep against his need for treatments and now is one of those times when he needs sleep more.
The sleep study on Tuesday night threw things off and he hasn't slept past 4 or 5 am the past few days. He is also not falling asleep at night until very late and is staying fairly energetic during the day, even if he is looking a bit drowsy. I got a couple extra hours of sleep today as well and thought I would get a quick blog posted before he wakes up.

Junior had a fantastic day yesterday(amazing considering his lack of sleep). He was up early and couldn't wait to have some fun. The weather is so nice now so we headed outside for some painting. He first used his yo-yo balls to paint some fireworks.
Giving his art a very serious check to be sure it is just right
Yes it is perfect
we added some glitter and his fireworks were all done.
He also had some fun swatting flies, we do this art every summer and he always loves it. Who wouldn't love smacking those paint "flies" with a fly swatter.
After treatment time our very nice mail man came knocking at the door and said he had a package for Junior. Junior had Angel mail. We opened the card and one of his angels had sent him a "hug" in the form of this soft little puppy. After we read the card Junior gave his hug a look and then busted out laughing.
He thought that getting a "hug" in the mail was oh so funny and the greatest thing ever.

Yesterday afternoon we checked out the app we are reviewing for A4cwsn . This app is called Treasure Kai and Junior was very impressed. It did have some things that could have been improved upon such as interaction. Junior kept wanting help touching the screen to get things to move or make sounds but only a few things did. He also got a bit frustrated when the treasure chests were too small for him to show me the one he wanted. Even with that said the story was great and was totally age appropriate for him even though it was very simple to use and follow. The little boy in the story looks about Junior's age so it was easy for him to get caught up in the story and excited about what was happening. I loved watching Junior's expressions change during each part of the story.
The little boy turned invisible to get where he needed to go. Junior thought this part was absolutely hysterical.
Mr. serious when the skeleton popped out.

I have been sharing pics of my little brother at West Point as we find them. So neat that West Point has people taking pics of these first weeks during basic training so parents and family can know whats going on. It really, really helps my mom and dad to see him when they aren't able to talk to him. Go Andrew, we love you.
In this first picture he is the one leading the group.
In this picture he is second from the back.
