The last few days have brought news, all good I am pleased to report.
On Friday the results of the 9th Chimerism test came in, and, once again, 100% donor. The very welcome news came right in time for the boys' 4th birthday which we celebrated on Saturday. It was a hot day, but the party went great. The balloons, the soccer, some beer, two cakes, a lot of lovely gifts and even lovelier wishes.
Some extra excitement came late in the party, compliments of Benjamin's bunny that, once again, went AWOL. The escape prompted two late night drives to the park and even brief searches through the garbage at the party site. Turns out the bunny was enjoying a sleepover with geed friends of ours who kindly returned him to us the next day.
Sunday was a much more mellow day with the boys (mostly) peacefully sharing the new toys. It was an important weekend, and a good one.

Day +292, getting ice cream
All the best things in life: a car with guns on it, a dinosaur that is a transformer, stickers, ice cream, candy, and some brownies. What else is there?

Day +291. Good checkup, first day of daycare for Zevi
In chronological order.
On Friday the monthly checkup went very well, thank G-D. The blood numbers are good and doctor approved of everything she saw. We also could not be happier. Of course, we now await results of the Chimerims test and hoping, as always, for the right result.
The weekend was spent mostly in parks. On Saturday we all partook in a spontaneous game of soccer, most of it kids versus adults. The rules and team rosters were fluid, the score fractional, if not outright imaginary, but fun was universal. Benjamin and Zev mostly stayed off the field (due to being much lighter than even the kid players), but did wonder in a few times to score goals of their own and, a few times, add randomness to the game by knocking over the goals themselves.
On Sunday we all (small Russian invasion) descended on a park (thank you, aunt Vika for putting this together!) We ate, we played, we avoided an ornery sprinkler. The boys got very excited, had great fun, and did not nap until the ride back from the park, at 5:30 pm. In the end, the were bathed and asleep by 9. All and all - a good weekend.
Monday was the first day of Zevi being in daycare. He was in a class different from Benjamin's - otherwise neither of them would learn - and did very well! Even though his English is limited for now, just as we expected Zevi had no trouble communicating. As the teacher informed Alla, at one point he said something which no one understood. He then grabbed his crotch and clearly indicated what he needed. Zevi then proceeded to do his business into the toilet like a champ.
I will add pictures to this post later tonight. hang in.
