T’s new Gaming Mouse

T got a new gaming game mouse yesterday. He loves it. He tested it out but hasn’t been back on to give it an even longer test drive because we’ve been concentrating on school and getting his leg better so he can get back to training. 

Protection Plans

Just let me say I’m a big believer in Best Buy’s protection plans. We were able to replace three devices today and all we really had to pay was for the new protection plan on the new devices. It saved us $300+ today. At least now we have new ones being shipped to us. Woohoo🙌!

Yoda Lego Build

T finished the Yoda Lego build. 
He really loved this build. It was difficult because of all the tiny pieces and all the tan pieces he had to deal with. Now it has a home on his dresser in his bedroom. 

Lego VW Beetle Bug Build

I finished this build finally. 

Update on T’s Leg

Laser Therapy is going very well. He had two treatments last week and he had his third today. He has one more and then the doc will let us know for certain when he can train and how much. As of yesterday he’s not limping anymore. Yay🙌!!!  That’s a huge step because he’s limped around for the better part of two weeks. It’s good to see him getting on the other side of this so he can get back to training. He’s missed it so much but he’s learned from experience that it pays off to let the body heal when there’s an injury. 

Fun Times Celebrating T

He had a pretty good haul considering he couldn’t be with his teammates or friends on his birthday like he would have liked. We spent the weekend celebrating with a gift a day with the exception of when Maw Maw and Tristan came over and they gave him two Nintendo Switch gift cards. We got him three Lego builds and a gaming keyboard. He got a card from his Nan and Popsie as well. He’s using what they gave him to get a gaming mouse. He got to have pizza and  his favorite cupcakes made by one of our homeschooling moms. She really should have her own cupcake shop😋. He’s so enjoyed this birthday inspite of Covid-19. It’s hard to believe that next year we will have a teenager in the house😳. 

Happy Birthday T

12 years old today. It’s hard to believe that much time has past. It seems like yesterday I was holding you for the first time. You always make life interesting with your never ending energy, wacky sense of humor, and always looking at things much differently. You love TaeKwonDo🥋 , riding your dirt bike🏍 , doing Lego builds, playing Fortnite, Drawing✍️ (when you have time), playing your guitar🎸 (again when you have time), and eating pizza🍕!  Life is never boring with You. Even though Covd-19 has kept us at home you have kept us on our toes as always. We love your energy and your unique personality that completes our family. You are such an amazing kiddo. Happy Birthday and may you always push yourself and others to make each day brighter and better than the day before. May you always look to God to guide and direct your path as you go through life. We love you to the moon and beyond!!! 

Math with Dad

Scot is helping T with math. Fun times😁.

T’s Appointment (5/5/2020)

T had an appointment with the Chiropractor today. He had knocked his hip out of alignment last week during one of his training sessions. We found that out today at the adjustment. We had not clue the hip was involved. At any rate the hip being out put a strain on his groin muscle which in turn strained his thigh muscle in two places. Our Chiropractor believes in laser therapy and so do we. We saw how it really helped T in October with a similar strain on that same muscle. We are working on helping him realize what it is he’s doing/not doing that causes this to happen so we can try to head this off so that there’s not a next time with this particular injury. Little kids tend to have bad habits though that they have to overcome and having bad habits as an athlete means you’ve got to fix the problem so it doesn’t happen in the future. We are fortunate in that time is on our side right now with this Covid-19 stay at home order in place and the fact that there are no urgent upcoming tournaments to attend. T is chomping at the bit to get back to training though but the doc said that maybe next Thursday T can get back to training and that will all be dependent on how he responds to the laser therapy sessions. Right now he wants him to rest and recover. He has three more laser therapy sessions between now and next Thursday. Praying he respond well to all the treatments and bounces back quickly like he did last time.  Here’s a pic of him pointing at the area where he is feeling the pain:
T will be 12 on Monday and his thighs are pure muscle and they aren’t much smaller than his dads😳.
