Strangers with candy

From Matan's five year doctor visit~
Dr.: What would you do if you found a gun?
Matan: I would give it to someone
Dr.: Why?
Matan: Because it is dangerous

Dr.: What would you do if you found some matches?
Matan: Put them away
Dr.: Why?
Matan: Because they're dangerous

Dr.: What would you do if a stranger came and offered you some candy. Would you take it?
Matan: No!
Dr.: Why not?
Matan: Because it has lots of sugar in it!!


I love it, my kid isn't afraid of strangers but sugar is a different story!

Here are some pictures of the kids from our trip to Disney World.

Ok, I think we can all agree that this isn't helping as much as I wanted it to. 

Here is a run down of things. Dov had his second chemo treatment today which means that he is one third of the way through this round of chemo. Only four more to go!!! He amuses himself during treatments by thinking up t-shirt ideas and chatting with everyone else getting treatment. 

Chemo is about as much fun as you might expect. Fortunately the side effects for this kind of chemo (FOLFIRI for those in the know) don't include the cold sensitivity that made last summer so much fun. Nothing sounds better on a nice hot Utah summer day than a warm drink of water. 

We got back from Disney World last night and we had a great time. Dov went to Tampa for a work conference and the kids and I flew out to join him after it ended. Matan loved the parades, especially the chance to see Mr. Incredible and Frozone in the flesh. We went on lots of rides and everyone agreed, the Toy Story ride is the coolest. Still it is good to be home where it is not 95 degrees out (yet).
