Turns out Grif has an infection caused by group A streptococcus bacteria....again.
I'm feeling a sore throat, Coop's got a deep down cough...and the doctor confirmed this morning that Grif once again has strep throat. He's allergic to penicillin, so they gave him a lesser antibiotic 10 days ago that didn't quite fix the problem.
So he gave him some more medicine and more importantly, his o.k. to go to a movie.
We're off to see Ice Age II. I'm really excited to see how they wrap up some of the unresolved plot lines from Ice Age I. Grif and I will talk about the Wooly Mammoth Sid - who is the Christ figure of this epic saga, to Diego's Judas. Scat, the saber toothed squirrel is there to remind us of man's inhumanity to man, and also serves to represent the constant struggle for more and more in this consumer age.
This will be one of those father son moments where we'll be able to talk about life, our hopes, dreams, share some kind words, and bond as only a 5 year old and his father truly can...
We're also going to get a large popcorn.
Hey - we saw Ice Age 2 Satruday. We all loved it! Even James was laughing out loud at Scrat. But, ah, you put a whole new meaning to it for me. I didn't see all the symbolism in it that you did. Oh well - we all still enjoyed it (and the popcorn) and that doesn't happen very often in a movie for our family. Hope you and Grif enjoy it too!
