Tyler's First Haircut

We finally got around to taking Tyler for his first haircut – mainly to rid him of the mullet as we had to do with Savannah. At first he was doing great! He seemed a little confused but he was calm. I’m sure it helped he was in Marc’s lap.

He loved checking his friend (himself) out in the mirror!

Then all of a sudden he had had enough. Nothing happened but he was done. The stylist did her best to finish up and I have to give her kudos even though the back was a little uneven. He was totally freaking out!!

Going to Ella's House

Last week I told Savannah we were going to Ella's house on Saturday. She was excited but told me she was going to go by herself with Tyler.. I asked her how she'd get there and...

Walking with a Tractor

We officially have another Walker! He's actually been walking for a week (or is it two) but I'm just getting around to writing this. He is so much happier now, and we are too! He really is a Momma's boy and holds my finger while walking outside but inside he's everywhere! I of course love it! I have actually cooked dinners and been able to work while the two of them run the "race track" around the house.

TP Rolls and Pom-Poms

One day when both kidlets took naps at the same time I had a few extra minutes and scrolled through a bunch of pictures I'd saved of activities for them. One was dropping balls down tubes and looked like a quick easy one I could pull off before one of the kidlets woke up. 

I grabbed some toilet paper rolls, painter's tape and pompoms and started getting them up on the wall.

Savannah woke up first and started smiling when she saw the wall. She asked what it was and I told her to go see. It wasn't until then that he saw the container of pompoms under the tubes and she was over the moon! I dropped a couple pompoms in the tubes and she took over. She had so much fun! 

Our little destructor had it all pulled down within minutes of getting downstairs but it was super easy so I can just do it again another day. 

Our Little Dancer

First day of her new dance class - she loved it!!

Our First Urgent Care Visit

We have now had our first Urgent Care visit. Tyler and I were walking the circle of our house while Savvy was running circles around us. After about 10 minutes I heard a crash and a blood curdling scream. I picked Tyler up and went back to the kitchen and found Savvy on the floor by the table. It turned out she slipped on a wet spot on the floor. I put Tyler down and grabbed Savvy up in my lap and after a couple minutes was able to calm her down to tell me what hurt
She told me her cheek and when I looked it had started swelling up. After another minute it was at least the size of a golf ball and rock hard.

Now I was freaked out. I grabbed them both up (neither having shoes and Savvy without shorts) and put them in their car seats to go to Urgent Care. She was not thrilled with going to the doctor and of course kept telling me she hurt buy had stopped crying. I told her we were almost there and that the doctor was just going to check her out to make sure she was ok. I didn't want to tell her what it looked like and scare her.

Thankfully there's and Urgent Care a couple miles from our house so it didn't take long. We got in, filled out the paperwork and we're brought straight back. The nurse was very nice and gentle with her, explaining everything which made Savvy very interested instead of scared.

The doctor then came in and was also very good with Savvy. Eyes and ears checked along with a bunch of other things and doc told me it was a big hematoma. As long as it didn't get bigger we just needed ice and ibuprofen but to get an xray in the morning to make sure Savvy didn't have a fractured cheekbone. Oh, and to keep her up until at least 10. Savvy loved her ice pack and even showed the nurse at the desk as we were heading out.

We got back home and I put on Daniel Tiger for Savvy while I gave Tyler a bath and got him into bed. Then Savvy and I had some ice cream and a Daniel Tiger /Super Why marathon. She was soo tired that she told me she wanted to go to bed and turned the TV off. It was only 930 so we read extra books to buy some time. She of course fell asleep immediately after I left.

I checked on her a few times before I went to bed and she was sleeping soundly. I didn't move her from our room as I was still worried.

In the morning she woke up as normal, asked for Mickey on the tv and went potty. I asked her how her cheek was feeling and she told me "it just hurts a little". When I got the light on I saw the swelling was way down and it had started bruising. She however seemed unaffected and started playing like nothing had happened.

So.. Here we are the next night and swelling is getting less and less as the bruise comes in. She still answers me that it just hurts a little bit when I ask but doesn't say anything about it otherwise. I feel so bad for her but am very grateful that the hump is all that came out of it..

Did I mention I hate the tile in our house? THIS is why!! I don't know why it's so slippery, it was not this bad in the other houses..
