Hospital Visit #3

Well I got to visit that exciting place called Emergency again last night. But this time didn't involve any torture devices inflicted upon me as I wasn't sick for this visit. Mummy and daddy took me cause the bandage they put on didn't help my owie.
It all happened at that dangerous time called dinner! I was sitting ever so nicely in my chair eating my yummy ham when all of a sudden I moved and daddy thought that maybe my fingers got stuck between the arms of my chair and the table. Mummy kissed my fingers better but that didn't help and even her magical cuddles didn't help. So after much deliberation that maybe I was tired and clingy, my parents thought that giving me a shower would make me feel better. So up we went but when daddy tried to take my shirt off I winced and cried more so that clued in my parents that something wasn't kosher. They tried to ask me where it hurt so they could put a nice blue bandage on but they weren't sure when they put it on my elbow. At this point daddy said that maybe I had dislodged my elbow socket as apparently one of my siblings had this happen when she was young too. So off we go to emergency to visit the nice doctor who would fix me up . We didn't have to wait too long and mummy brought my book and doodle pad to amuse me. Finally the doctor saw me and asked mummy to take my shirt off and then he touched my elbow and made it feel all better. 10 minutes later I was all ready to go home and get a good nights sleep.
Daddy has said that if this should happen next time that maybe he could apply his vast medical knowledge himself and put my elbow back together. Yup I don't think mummy will let him but we'll let him think he can!

P.S a note to all you other kids, apparentaly this elbow can pop out quite easily at this age and is quite easy to pop back in again with a little medical help (not daddy help).

Jacob & Keira

On Thursday, my friend Keira came over to play while her mummy had to run out. We had lots of fun playing with my toys and I was even nice about it. We played with the puzzles, my tools, rode the bikes and even played in mummy's sheets. Then Keira's mummy came back and we invited them to have lunch with us. It was a really nice visit and way more fun to have a friend to play with.

Whiterock beach exploring

Last Sunday, Mummy,daddy and I went to the ocean to see if we could find the whales and fishies. We didn't see any whales but we did discover upon a few dead fish that the seagulls hadn't gobbled up yet. I also met two little boys who helped me build sandcastles. Mummy was really quick and so i got to stomp at least 6 castles.

Later we wandered down the beach and I danced in the water, chased the seagulls so they would fly, dug for some shells and touched some gooey sealife. Then as we headed for the boardwalk we found a new sea creature- A starfish! Mummy chased the seagull away so we could go in for a closer look, it was still alive but missing one star. After we had looked we let the seagull finish his lunch. Man those birds are crafty and quick at getting and scarfing food. I was a little disturbed at first watching them eat the poor little starfish but then daddy explained that the seagulls need to eat and it was the starfishs turn.

We finally made it to the boardwalk and i got to run down the walkway and it made great sounds, but halfway down i got tired so daddy got the opportunity to give me a piggyback ride.

Then we walked back to the car and ate our lunch while i got to pretend drive. It was a very fun day and I even managed to fall asleep on the way home which prompted daddy to take a scenic tour so that i could sleep longer.

Sunshine & ducks

Yesterday Mummy & I went to the duck park to feed them ( yes we know you're not supposed to)and play on dude. Mummy was also hoping that now that my nap times have been bumped back to 1ish that the fresh air and running and around would tire me out. NOPE!

We have had a few challenges this last week with nap time. I am now able to sleep in my bed but I have only actually slept in it once and only after mummy helped me fall asleep. You see the thing is it's way more fun to climb out of the beds and get into things and play. Then when mummy takes all the fun toys to play with out of the room i find new things to play with such as the garbage can, my slippers and things like that. I also used to like to shut the door but since Tuesday when i couldn't get it open and i got upset i prefer to keep it open a bit. Mummy tried yesterday to just let me stay in my room but when she heard me pulling my diapers off she kept having to come back in to check on me. Finally after trying for 2 hours and continually putting me back into bed she tried threats. Yup she told me if i didn't fall asleep that i wouldn't get to go to Nona's house that afternoon. Finally she put me back in my crib and shut my door and i managed to sleep an hour before mummy had to wake me up to go. Of course i don't have these problems at nighttime. I want to sleep in my bed and then 5 minutes later i want to sleep in my crib and that is where i have been sleeping at night.
