a lollipop walk.

Dixon loves to take walks and these days he really likes to push his grocery cart. This task is more challenging with only one arm. You know, us moms can relate to trying to steer the cart with one arm.When Dixon gets too frustrated with his one arm he dumps the cart in someone else's yard. We usually remember to go back and pick it up the same day. :)

As we were walking we found (in our own stroller) a half eaten lollipop from the football game. I did not oblige when I saw how much joy a half eaten, crusty, sugar lollipop brought to his face.

Dixon really notices all the details of EVERYTHING. Which is why a walk with him can take days. He loves to stop and watch the ants scurry on the sidewalk. Much to my dismay, every once in a while Dixon will smush one with his pointer finger and hold it up to me, just to hear me squeal. :)

In BREAKING news, Dixon got his cast off early. He was (and still is) not moving his last three fingers and he acts really bothered when I try to move them for him. We went back to the arm dr. and he said his arm was healing very nicely and he would remove the cast to encourage the movement of his fingers. The good news was that his hawkeye tattoo from the State Fair was still under his cast!  We go back October 1st and hopefully all is well. :)
