Whoops, she did it again!

So, two days after Ruby fell and got stitches she fell AGAIN! She split her head open and passed out. (a common occurrence when she gets hurt). So, back to the Insta Care. I am always the one that has taken my kids in the past. Part of me just can't send my hurt baby to the doctor with out me! This time I really wanted Colin to have this experience. So, begrudgingly, I put her in her carseat, gave Colin strict instructions and waved goodbye.

Well, the Doctor wouldn't restitch her, so 45 minutes later Colin came walking in with some glue and steri strips on her forehead. YOU HAVE GOT TO BE KIDDING! I had to endure my sweet baby wrapped in a sheet, and buried under a sheet over her face while they numbed her and did 10 stitches. Half the time I was in tears, thinking that they should put me in jail for allowing this to happen! I seriously can't catch a break!

I'm sure this won't be our last encounter with emergency care, maybe I will be strong enough next time to send them with Colin. There is still hope for him to experience the beauty of Insta Care:)

Winner!

Hank won the Reflections contest this year! I am so excited and a bit shocked. He is not interested in art at all, and I made him do it. I think he spent all of 15 minutes on it! I will not argue that it is good for him to win and build some confidence.

The biggest winner might have been Ruth. She LOVES art and was so excited about Reflections. She didn't win or get and honorable mention this year. The winning part is that she was so excited for Hank, genuinely. She didn't ask if she did or anything she just revealed in his victory. Then she asked if she could call Ellie and see if she won, because she thought "Ellie's was good and should win." Thank goodness for a gracious loser. I know it won't always be that way, but today we were victorious:)

Jack has been taking karate and LOVING it. This week he earned his yellow belt. He got to break a board as a way of earning it. Jack is quiet and shy, and karate is breaking him of that! Yippee!!
