Central Arizona at 1730 - Tuesday
Kaesen slept in past 0600 today; I did too. Our routine is shaping into early days and early nights, or maybe it has been this way since I returned and picked him up in Seattle. Breakfast was Norwegians (crepes), cheddar cheese chunk-slices, and ham and provolone cheese sandwiches - with coffee and cold water. Simple yet delicious. After breakfast we waited an "obligatory" hour or more to swim. Kaesen watched the clock the entire time! So did I as a result.
Swimming commenced at 1000 and lasted about an hour. Kaesen, beginning yesterday, is swimming free of a life vest or other flotation device. This gives me so very much pride, as a father and a man, to watch a young boy, my son, go from not swimming to swimming in the blink of an eye! Later in the day we swam again, again sans life vest and now with a new swim mask. Seriously, I know this is cliche, but this kid can swim like the best of us and is fearless. He is only 4-1/2 years old! Anyway, we swam and had a great time today doing so.
This afternoon, after a delicious lunch of leftover feijoada, we went to the eye doctor for Kaesen. Since the exam could not be completed, he is a little too young and not completely ready, we were referred to a pediatric opthamologist. We will try this again in Seattle in a couple of week or more. So for now, all is well and good and his eyes are fine anyway... just a little advice is needed at this point.
This has been another good day of rest, recuperation, relaxing, reintegration, and rejuvenation. I hope for the same for you, too.
143, Kaesen.
Good night and good day.
