Torrefaction

So. As his fans will recall, Charlie has had a rough few months, with asthma, multiple changes to his allergy and asthma medicine, a pretty regular cycle of vomiting followed by respiratory infections, and ever-increasing rage problems. This is on top of his usual food allergy and eczema issues, poor little guy.

 To end this on a non-medical note, here is link to a video of Charlie showing off his new rock-climbing skills. Nanna and Grandpa (my parents) very kindly gave us the funds to get him an awesome climber/slide thingy for the back yard, because he outgrew the little one he used last year, but isn't ready for a real swingset just yet. He's doing really well with gross motor skills, and is very pleased with his ability to climb up all by himself. http://www.flickr.com/photos/thrawn150/5743975466/
