Jumping Jimminy

"Beehive Hairdo" watercolor ACEO 2.5" x 3.5"


Jimmy just had his 4 month MRI to make sure his brain tumor is not growing back. The days before MRIs are so nerve wracking. It always reminds me of the day we discovered his brain tumor, not a day I like to remember. The time leading up to his MRIs are always filled with sleepless nights and stress filled days. So when we get the MRI done and they tell us it is "stable" we always take the kids out to dinner to celebrate.

Jimmy wanted to go to one of his favorite places, the Pie Pizzeria (He loves the fact that he can write on the walls without getting into trouble) Jimmy was "stirsty" (thirsty), I usually don't let my kids have drinks with caffeine in them, but I let him have a little of my diet coke to drink. We were about halfway through with dinner when Jimmy suddenly got up from his chair. I asked where he was going and he said he needed to jump. He proceeded to stand there and jump up and down about ten times then he sat down. My 13 year old son looked at Jimmy and then back at me and said accusingly "you didn't let him have caffeine did you?"
