Learning from the Experts!
Today I took the kids to Whitaker Ballpark to take part in a baseball clinic put on by Chevy and the Lexington Legends baseball team. They are the farm team of the Kansas City Royals. It was sooooo fun! It included a t-shirt, 3 hours of instruction, autographs galore and ended with lunch. It was all F.R.E.E.!!
The 3 boys participated with 3 friends. Brinley, other Moms and I watched from the seats. It was a great day!

Ryan's Turn
This past Sunday evening Ashton was on the hunt for a missing blanket. How he knows one is missing is beyond me. He has HEAPS of blankets!! Anyway in all the search madness, he threw all blankets, covers, comforters, pillows, stuffed animals, ect. onto the floor. Ryan decided to climb the ladder up to the top bunk and JUMP into the pile of goodness below. Round 1 was a success. All was well. Round 2 was not good. He landed wrong and hurt his wrist. His right wrist. The one he writes with. As any good parent would do, we yelled at him and sent him to bed. After a little while and continous whining, Matt decided to aid the poor boy and he wrapped FOUR ace bandages around his arm with the hopes of quieting the little squirt. It worked! He went to bed.
Monday morning - arm still hurt. We sent him to school with nothing on his arm. We may have said to suck it up??? We may have told his teacher he was fine and it was all in his head??
Tuesday morning - arm still hurt. We sent him to school with nothing on his arm. I had pity at lunchtime and ran the brace that Brinley wore when she had a broken arm over to Ryan at school. It is like a bowler freak/carpel tunnel type brace. He seemed fine. Was writing with his right hand. Hmm, success. All may be well!
Tuesday after school - arm still very swollen. I asked my friend Veronica to look at it. (She is Ashton's student teacher and was at school). She advised to take him to get xrays. That evening (5pm - ish) I took Ryan to Urgent Treatment. Sure enough, it was broken. His official diagnosis was Distal Radial Fracture. Next step - orthopaedic office. Earliest appointment - next day at 2:45pm.
Wednesday - sent him to school as normal. We pulled 3 youngest from school early and went to doctor. They confirmed it was broken and casted him up.

Fight with Paperclip
Today Ethan received an "appliance" to help reduce the thumb sucking situation we have dealt with for the past 11 years!
He sounds super funny when he talks. We could not stop laughing. Ethan LOVES the way he sounds. He is a good sport. Immediately following his appointment he was headed back to school to present an oral report. I asked him if he was embarrassed and his reply was, "this is awesome! I love this bad boy!" He ended up with a 116/120 for his report. Not too shabby! He hopefully will have this removed in a month or two.
