In New Jersey

Today we visited Lucy, a six-story wooden elephant on the New Jersey coast. Beckett seemed to enjoy himself, but he wasn't so interested in the video about the history of the elephant, and we didn't get much of it either since he was running up to everyone and saying "hi." But we climbed up into the belly of the beast, a piece of New Jersey history that has served as a real estate office, a summer home, and a tavern. From the top of the elephant there's a lovely view of the shore.

Beckett does not travel well. He's having a hard time getting to sleep, and we're very tired. But Beckett is enjoying playing with Grandpa Oscar, Grandma Pat, and great-aunt Judy.

I played a game with him today in which I chased him around, and he loved it. He kept crashing into things, but it's hard to know if it's a weakness in his peripheral vision or just him being not so coordinated. The latter seems more likely.

We still haven't heard from Stanford about a date for the surgery and the first chemo. We will call them again soon if we don't hear.
