Today was Chase's half-birthday -- 12 1/2. It was also the summer solstice. This morning Chase said to Nanaw, "In December on my birthday, I'll be 13!" And Nanaw said, "A teenager!!" Nanaw gave him his plastic cicadas, and he played with them and with Charlie the cicada. The plastic guys went swimming in a bowl of water, and Charlie was too big to join them. Chase had running club on Thursday morning at the big park. Daddy took him, and Nanaw picked him up. Nanaw took along the Gator Ade that Mama brought over for Chase because he'd felt bad after Monday's running club. He also had a long, skinny, lime popsicle from the coach of the running club. They didn't have school today because Chase had a doctor's appointment in the afternoon and had to be home early to go to baseball practice. For lunch, Chase had Nanaw mix together the Cheetos mac and cheese and the Kraft mac and cheese and add mozzarella cheese. Nanaw is loaning the Bronco to Mama, because her car has a blown head gasket, whatever that is. It sounds serious. Dobb's said it would cost $3,000 to fix, and they suggested that Mama follow up with Jeep about it because the car never overheated and the check engine light never went on. So Mama drove the Bronco to Chase's doctor's appointment in the afternoon. It was with the gastroenterologist who treated Chase when he was having severe stomach pains. The doctor never did find anything wrong with Chase, and she said to Mama that it might have been anxiety. He weighed 98.2 pounds and is almost 5 foot 1 inch. Nanaw and Mama are very happy that he's gained back and then some of the weight he lost when he was having the stomach problems.
