Wrestling

Charlie is giving wrestling a try! These are the pictures from a wrestling tournament he did in November. He is continuing in the sport with practices two days a week, and occasional Saturday tournaments. He loves earning a medal, and his buddy Lukas is trying it out too.

B & B Day

Baptism and Birthday for Charlie on the same day!

Face Painting @ preschool

Charlie got a really cool face painting one time in preschool. He loved it. Looks awesome huh?  That boy is excited for kindergarten in the fall! ahh!

Glue & Stitches

‎1 record set. 1 incident. 2 kids. 2 co-pays. 1 treatment room. 1 kid glued chin shut. 1 kid stitches. 5 stitches. 3 adults to hold the toddler down. Lots of suckers, stickers, and crying.

I got a phone call at 8:00 am from MIL.
Phone call to doctors office 8:07 am

October 8th @ 8:54 am
I love parent moment when you have to decide: Does that need stitches?

the doctor said it was probably a record for him. 2 kids being treated from the same accident.

charlie was hugging sophie. (and from what I gathered-no witnesses & these kids are 2 and 4 years old) sophie pulled away from the hug before charlie-pulling them both down.
charlie got a cut under his chin-probably from a straight edge. he was glued closed. not as bad. sophie must have hit a slight edge of the table or just her bone by her eyebrow & cut open her eyebrow. it was kinda deep & gross. she got stitched up.

since we had to go to the doc for one-sophie-might as well have charlie looked at too.this was before school-so no stress at all-ha! yeah right.

clean the wound. numb it up.


While its numbing-its charlie's turn. He looks so cool BEFORE anything happened.

Back to Sophie

she probably should have been strapped down to the table-she was BAD. moving & jerking while a doc is sewing in her head made a stressful moment.

So I didn't call & tell Jimmy where we were or what we were doing. I just sent him two pictures on his phone-one of each kid. THEN after we were done, I called him to tell him the story. Lesson learned-STRAP the toddler to the papoose (sp?) board! man! Holding her still while the doc was stitching was HARD! Yes-I finally lost it when Sophie was giving up her fight right toward the end of the stitching. STRESSFUL situation!

GREAT STORY.

Sucker & sticker from the nurse made it all better.

And they still love each other!
