Sandboxes and Popsicles

Jacob has always had very bad seasonal allergies (pollen). To the point where he is miserable and his eyes get really swollen. A friend of mine told me about a naturopath that has great success in getting rid of allergies. I have taken both of the younger boys to her. If you have never seen muscle response testing, it is crazy how it works. Anyway, she found out that Jacob is allergic to pollen, but not bees. She did her muscle response testing and lasers on him. So far, Jacob has done really well. He has sneezed a little and had a little bit of a runny nose but nothing consistent!! She determined that Joseph had an issue with cheese. He has also had some bumps on his foot for a while we could not get rid of. She tested him and everything was pointing to a virus. She did her cheese stuff on him and some virus stuff. Dr. Jill also gave both of them some naturopathic drops to take. Joseph's bumps are still there, but appear to be getting smaller (he has had them for probably 9 months). Just fascinating how other things than modern medicine can work on the body.

As I headed to one of Joseph's baseball games, the National Anthem started on the main field. It was so cool to even see the kids get off the swings and stand for the national anthem.

Joseph is really enjoying baseball. During a recent game he was at bat 3 different times. He hit two to right field and one to left field.

The way their age group league works, is that every team gets three outs, but you can only bat once an inning. So if the outfield team has not gotten three outs when the last batter gets up, then when the ball is hit, every one base runs home. The kids love it. Joseph was last batter and look at that smile as he heads home. Never mind that the catcher has been at home plate with the ball long before he rounded third base.
