Love and Stitches

Boy, do I have a story for you. I finally got my first round of stitches, and an awesome scar story to go with it. We'll get to that in just a minute, but I'll start with my Valentine's Day. It was a pretty fun holiday, and I got to spend it at home with mom and dad. I got to share some candy, open cards, color and play with my new Elmo stickers. I hope everyone else had an awesome Valentine's Day. I love you! With all the snow and school being cancelled, my school Valentine's party got pushed back to this past Monday. I was really looking forward to it, so my parents let me go in to school eventhough they were off of work. I went in late and was only there for 45 minutes before Mommy got the call. I stood up on a chair, tipped it over and sliced the top of my ear apart. We raced to an ER, and they sent us to Children's Hospital. The ER doctor and ear doctor thought it would be best to call in the head plastic surgeon, and he was on the case. I had to wait from 10:30 to 6:00 for my surgery, and I couldn't eat or drink anything at all. I was pretty tough and didn't need any pain meds at all. The nurses brought me toys, videos, and all kinds of neat stuff to keep me occupied. I even ran around the waiting room in my gown and played while waiting for the doctors. Considering how bad it was, the doc did a great job sewing me back up. It's cut about twice as far behind my ear, but you can't see it in the pic. Don't mind the applesauce in my ear either! The glue will last a few weeks and the stitches a few months, but it will be quite the story to tell! I did stay home all week, and this weekend Nannie came to see me. I played tons of ball, rode around in my tricycle and hung out with all my stuffed animal friends. Mickey, Elmo and Monkey are the best!! My cousins came by to visit, and we had a blast in the backyard. We'll have to get together and play more often! This morning it was raining, and I wanted to go play outside. Mommy put on my boots and out we went. I loved playing in the water and the mud!! It was an awesome weekend, and I'm looking forward to my trip to San Antonio in a few days =)

Soccer and Snow

Snow, snow, snow!! It snowed all day, and I love it! Everything is so white and pretty. At school they even brought some snow inside so we could play in it. After dinner, mommy and daddy took me outside and we played for a long time. We were bundled up in coats, gloves, and boots, but it was still cold! The snow was up to my knees!!!I liked making snowballs and throwing them around, and I helped mommy make this awesome snowman. He had a real carrot nose and everything!If we have school tomorrow, we are having a Valentine's Day party. Lots of yummy treats in store! School is starting a few hours late already, but there's a chance we'll get a snow day. With all this cold weather, my outside activities have been moved inside. I shoot basketball a ton, but I've been practicing my soccer skills too. I've been wearing the shin guards Nana got me, and I can kick the ball all the way across the house. Don't tell Mommy!! I really like to play goalie, and I can even do a drop kick to get it out of there!! Mommy and Daddy said if I behave, I might be able to take a fun class this summer for kids my age that's all about soccer! For now though, I'm looking forward to a 3 (maybe 4) day weekend, and of course Valentine's Day. I love and miss everyone!

18 Months!

I definitely felt like a big boy this week. Now that I am 18 months old, I am in a new room at school. It has been awesome!! The room is bigger, there are more toys and activities, and no high chairs or other baby stuff to get in my way. I even get to go to Spanish and music class every week! Yesterday I showed off a little bit by reading an entire animal book out loud and doing all the different animal sounds. My teachers loved it! I also had a check-up at the doctor and got an A+. Recently I've been really interested in trying out the potty. I like to sit on it and read my books, and I've even managed to use it properly a time or two. I am so over being a baby! I even love to brush my own teeth when I get ready for bed at night. Last night we went to the Wakeland basketball game, and I had a pretty good time. I like when students holler at me from the stands. I feel famous! Tonight I get to go to a musical at the school, and I am ready for some singing and dancing. Also, Nana had her birthday this week... "Happy Birthday, Nana!" I'm looking forward to another fun week of adventures!
