Beckett continues to be just fine. Since he has started to sign, his communication is really improving, too. Not that he couldn't communicate before, but he has had some trouble sometimes making himself understood (for example, he has trouble saying the letter 's').
Now he signs "Baby" and rocks his arms like he's holding one. Or he signs "silly" or "doll" or "home." I'm not even sure he knew these words two weeks ago. And he says his alphabet, sort of.
Beckett has no appetite to speak of, but that just seems to be because he is two. He takes one or two bites of food before saying "back" and pushing it away or even saying "bagosh" (garbage). We are trying to fatten him up a little bit before the chemo, but I think we would just settle for him eating more than a few bites of his food.
We are getting ready for our trip to New Jersey and then England. We are excited about Beckett seeing his grandparents and his cousins in New Jersey, and his British cousins, his aunt, and his uncle. And Cassie says that her sister has arranged for Beckett to go to his cousin's daycare on one or two days so that we can go out and explore London, maybe go to a museum.
We'll write again from the road and let everybody know how things are going.
