Another three weeks has gone by! Time seems to go so quickly between these infusions. We picked Levi up from daycare and told him that we were headed to David's House! He got sooo excited! He loves going there to play. He had received a car DVD player for his birthday and we had set it up since he had last been in my car, so he had never seen it. As soon as he got in he looked at it and said "Turn it on for me Daddy"! I was surprised he knew what it was. He picked to watch Sesame Street and we started the drive to Lebanon. After a few minutes of driving he yells out "my own like Kennedy Kyle". He was very excited that he now has a DVD player in the car! Jay and I are also very relieved to have the player (Thanks Mom and Dad!!!). The drive was one of the easiest we have ever had which was so nice! It is so hard to have a stressful drive after a long work day. And its tough for Levi too, so having something for him to watch is great!
We stopped at Burger King on the way. At first Levi was excited to stop. But then when we got inside he was very upset. I asked him what was wrong and he said "Don't want Dinner anymore. Go to David's House". I promised him that we were still on the way to David's House but that we needed dinner. He asked for a burger for dinner, which he ended up eating part of and then stealing my hot dog. After dinner we got back in the car and finished the drive. Levi switched to Curious George and we were back on our way.
We got to David's House and got checked in. We had gotten the last available room so weren't sure what room we would be in. We were in the lion room. It's a great room!! It's huge! Had both a full bed and twin bed in it as well as room for Levi's pack and play! The room over looked the playground so Levi was excited about that.
We had barely been in the room 1 minute when Levi was dragging us out to the playground. Levi played outside for about an 30 minutes. Then he wanted to play inside. He loves the slide! He also has quite the ritual with the play ice cream. We all have our specific cones and icecream flavors that we get each time and Levi brings them to us. It's adorable. At 8:40ish it was time for last snack and drink. Since David's House was busy both of the big tables were full and the high chairs were either occupied or blocked. We put Levi in a booster at the alcove table. That lasted about 30 seconds before he wanted to just sit on the bench. He did a great job just sitting. He wanted a drink and I had left his sippy cup in the car, so I got him a small paper cup to drink from and he did amazing with it!!!

Night all!!
The next morning Levi was up bright and early! Not sure why he has determined that like 6 am is the right time to get up at David's House, but it is the new normal. Levi and I headed down to the play room so he could get some energy out. We played on the plane and with the food. We also played with a car underneath the bench and with the blocks. I gave Levi a lego car and he immediately said "needs blocks" and headed over to the right bin to get the blocks out and build the car up. He was a little upset that the slide room was still closed. I told him that it was too early and that no one was up to open it yet, but he didn't seem to understand that.
After 45 minutes of playing we headed upstairs to get some breakfast. Levi had a fruit pouch, some oranges,and a little bit of oatmeal. It was all going well until he decided that dumping the orange juice over his head was a good idea. It was all good though.
Then it was time to head upstairs and wake up Daddy and get dressed. We put Levi's cream on and got him dressed. Then it was time to check out and head over to the hospital. We were heading over about 45 minutes before our appointment time but Nurse K and Nurse T had both said that was fine since no matter how many times we talk to her Receptionist S is bound and determined to not give us the 7:30 time slot.
