Officially "Accident-Prone"

 A small fall yesterday at school, a reinjury of her knee from her trampoline accident, brought Lydia to tears.  I made an appointment with her pediatrician for this morning.  A second round of x-rays showed a small fracture at the top of her right tibia.  Tiny break.  Huge cast.  Let the healing begin.  Megan 

Change of Events

This morning I had my bag all packed to head back to the hospital to request a MRI of Lydia's leg.  I fell asleep last night with visions of casts and crutches in my head.  We were just finishing up our breakfast when Lydia started walking, well limping, saying "leg all better!"  It isn't all healed yet but we are certainly breathing a sigh of relief.  A cast would have really put a damper on her upcoming beach vacation.  Megan

Keep Smiling, Lydia

Lydia and I had a mommy-daughter date Thursday morning.  We headed to a brand new trampoline park near us, first ones through the door, a huge smile on Lydia's face.  Within a minute of her first trampoline experience, Lydia was in tears.  She simply landed wrong and hurt her knee.  A trip to the ER showed no breaks, however the past two days Lydia has been unable to walk.  Hoping for some improvement soon or we will be heading back to the doctor.  Luckily last night's campfire brought a big smile to her face. And the upside of being chair-bound is that Mom and Dad did not have to worry about Lydia getting to close to the flames.  Megan

When Lydia is Away...

Have I mentioned how much I love Lydia's preschool!?!?!?  The best part is so does she.  She is enamored with her teacher, Ms. Sharlet.  Her best days are when she is chosen to be Ms. Sharlet's Helper of the Day.  I love Monday, Wednesday, Fridays for the downtime; it gives me a break as the pace is slower, the house a bit quieter.  Jack enjoys preschool days too.  He helps himself to the toys that Lydia does not share so well.  Yesterday was especially wonderful for Jack because he had his Daddy all to himself for a trip to the Botanic Gardens.  Megan

First Time for Fireworks

Our friends invited us to their annual firework watching party on Saturday night.  The show is one of the largest in the country and their home is in the perfect spot for viewing.  This was actually Lydia's first time seeing fireworks and she was mesmerized.  As we drove home afterwards, she commented "I like fireworks.  Just a little bit scary but I like it."  Megan

Kite Flying at the Park

Jack is old enough now to play at the park, not just observe from his stroller.  We love our neighborhood park.  It is the perfect place to fly a kite.  Megan

Pajama time

The temps are cool here and I am enjoying the feeling of fall!  The kids are still a tad sick so it was time to invest in some fleece footie pajamas.  Lydia loves her's. Jack does not seem to share her sentiment.  Megan
