odin has been practicing his crawling moves lately and today, on his 15 week birthday, we decide it’s time for him to compete against the lamaze musical inchworm.

before the race starts mauja give odin a little moral support.

malamutes are thoughtful like that.

despite some dirty tricks on the inchworm’s parts, mauja steps in and ensures that odin is able to beat the inchworm fair and square!

it’s a good thing he’s focusing on getting stronger because we have a big week this week. tommorrow, we’ll be travelling across the state to detroit, michigan for an specialist consult to see if odin needs more eye surgery. and then on tuesday we go back to the hospital for his inguinal hernia surgery. and if everything goes well, we’ll be out of the hospital on wednesday in time for another peds doctor appointment.

phew.
