Rhett had another "first" today at Joni's. I have told her before that if Rhett or Leah does something for the first time at her house, not to tell me about it. That way I don't feel like I am missing out on anything. In this case, I'm glad she called. Yes, Joni had to call me at work today. She never does that so I knew it was important.
Rhett was helping pick up toys before lunch (no, this is not the first I am writing about!). He tripped on a block and split his head open on the coffee table. She said it bled quite a bit so I am glad I wasn't there for this "first." She rinsed his head under the shower and put a butterfly band-aid on it. Of course this is the day I work in Rose Hill, the farthest of my buildings from Potwin so it took me 45 minutes to get there. He was running around like a wild man.
I called the pediatrician and got in right away with a new Dr. in the practice. She used to be an ER doc so although I had never met her, I knew she had seen this a thousand times. Because it was such a clean cut, she was able to glue it shut and not do stitches. He cried but the tears stopped pretty quick once she pulled out the Smarties. He told her, "I tuff," and we walked out the door.
After his nap we went outside to play since the weather was so nice. I suggested he ride his new trike. Daddy didn't think this was a good idea, but Rhett wanted to so he did. It turned out Daddy was right. Rhett fell trying to get on once and scraped his cheek. Poor guy. He must have his mother's coordination.
Rhett was invited to our friend Wesley's 5th birthday party at Pump It Up! on Saturday. As you can see he thoroughly enjoyed it. Mom and Dad enjoyed the big slide too. The party wore everyone out. Rhett napped that afternoon from 1:30 to almost 5:00. Leah went down about 3:00 and I had to wake her up at 6:00.
Boys will be boys, they say. Here is what Rhett has been up to this week. Ben was on the phone and I was cooking supper one night when Ben said, "Um, Momma..." I looked up to see Rhett had positioned himself in Leah's swing with his blankie and George. Doesn't he look comfy?
We've been working on rice cereal for the past week or so. This is her first experience with it. She actually swallowed some I think. Yesterday she did a good job opening her mouth when the spoon came up and didn't immediately stick her tongue out. She ate what I made for her so I made a little more and she ate that too. Her tummy is still getting used to it. She has been a little gassy after eating (handy for Dad, he can blame the noise on her). She is laughing and talking a lot now. Rare is the quiet moment at our house.
Luke Mason arrived safely today without any complications. Edee and Luke are both doing fine, Justin too! When Edee called, big brother Nate had not been to visit yet. I am anxious to hear about this and see pictures of him loving on Luke. Luke weighed 7 lb 12 oz and was 19.5 in long. He had been breech until a few weeks ago when a perinatologist flipped him. Edee had been going in twice a week for monitoring. We are all glad he is finally here so we can love on him. Now we get to wait for 2 more cousins to come!
