First day of Kindergarten

Tucker broke his first bone and he decided to break two while he was at it!!!! Luckily he broke these two bones all in one place - his left arm (thankfully, he's right handed). He now is sporting a WAY cool....KU blue and red elbow cast. Well, there go swimming lessons for the summer. AND he was mastering the swimming. I really thought he would take off with the swimming during his lessons. Guess I will have to hire someone to teach him, once the cast comes off! For those of you asking how he broke it, well nothing special.....just running on the playground at his school and he fell! I wish I could say it was as he was saving a life of something, but oh well. Although, I'm sorry I wasn't with him when he did it, there is a small part of me it happened at school. I don't feel as bad!

The happenings of tucker - Summer 2011

So, as you can see the first exciting thing that happened this summer was June first! Tucker discovered his first loose tooth. By June 8th it was out of his mouth and under his pillow, despite the fact that he actually fell asleep before he was able to put it under his pillow. I woke him up and made him slip it under so the tooth fairy would arrive for his tooth in the night. Oh, what a magical day when he woke and found the specially letter and 5 one dollar bills inder his pillow!

tonsils are gone!!

Well, it's been an interesting two weeks. I had my tonsils removed and the best part was not the ice cream and all the slushes you want.....for me, it was staying home from school and hanging with my mommy. I have the best mommy in the world, you see. I snuggle her with my legs - I wrap them around her - it's my way of snuggling her. I love it when she snuggles me....so I've come up with a way to snuggle her. The surgery wasn't as bad as I thought it would be, but the recovery was pretty aweful. Exactly as you read about on line if you google serch tonsil recovery in children. By day 9 I was on the mend....but I still want to stay home with my mommy so I raised a fuss.....I'm told I have to go tomorrow. Darn! The worst part about the pain was from my ears....the doctor calls it referred pain.....and it sure did hurt. I got dehydrated and wouldn't eat....but aside from that, once they gave me medicine for the pain that actually worked, I felt better.

I had a lot of game time with mommy.....we played board games and put puzzles together. I watched lots of movies and slept a lot too. I wouldn't recommend this surgery for fun, but if you have to have it done, be sure to enjoy the time with your mommy.....I'm told it can't happen again. :-( bummer.
