Glasses and another Rockies win!

Griffin got his new glasses today. They change from light to dark which will help as his eyes are sensitive to sunlight because of the stigmatism. We called Pennys on Sunday and they said the optical department was open but of course when we got there they were closed. We promoised him a special suprise so he ended up picking out his first suitcase/backpack. Buzz Lightyear. I'm sure it was because of all of the suitcases Mick and Bob had. He was wheeling it around everywhere we went on Sunday. They had a handicap ramp to the bathrooms right next to where we were sitting at the resturuant and he ran up and down the ramp with his suitcase.

We went to the Rockies game with Max and Melissa and Scott on Labor Day. We got the nose bleed seats but the kids were just fine. Max got up before Griffin and they came over to pick up their tickets. Max wailed when they left to go to the game without Griffin. Luckily Griffin woke up right after he left and we found a spot close by and beat them to the seats. It helped that Griffin ran most of the way to the stadium. He ran so fast down the ramps after the game that I almost lost sight of him in the crowd as Max was struggling to keep up. Griffin listened everytime I asked him to slow down or stop.





Outside the stadium


Max and Griffin played with another boy a game of baseball on a mini field with a aluminum foil ball.


Griffin ended up playing on a construction sign near the downtown playground yesterday. We were saying goodbye to Max's family and trying to get Griffin to walk to the car with us. He was doddling and I thought it was a little unsafe to be playing next to this metal sign. Next thing you know he triped over one of the legs and falls onto the metal leg of a roadsign. His mouth is immediately full of blood. I thought he knocked out his front tooth for a second. It looks like he just split the inside of his lip a bit but it was a bit of a scare. I'm sure one of many many more.

When we got in the car this morning he turned to me and said
My lip goes to school.

He went up to everyone and showed them his lip at school today.
I sat with Griffin while he ate his breakfast. He kept reaching over and grabbing my hand and tucking it next to his side.
I told him I was going and that I would kiss his head so that I wouldn't bother his cut lip. He insisted on giving me a kiss and ran a few steps away. He then turned and ran back to give me a big hug. I almost took him with me.
