That day Kaylee got her shots was a hard day for her, she was excitedly running in the neighbor's driveway when she fell and skinned both knees, one minorly and the other pretty badly. She was traumatized, screaming, crying and wailing. I got to say there's a reason I'm an architect and not a medical professional, my response to these instances with our kids is always, " help!" usually to Eric, I do not keep my cool. It's not like the sight of blood sets me off,it's the stress of the situation, I'm definately the sort of flight over fight type. I'm always scared if he's choking for instance, and I go for it will I make it worse? I've at times just let him or her, back in the day, throw up rather than sweeping for it. And I freeze simply calling " help!" this however is where my knight in shing armor truly shines, he's cool, calm and collected...I soothed her and kept Levi from touching her wound while he went to get the medical tools and the bandages. I kid you not my husband could've been anything he wanted to be, truly, and could easily have chosen medical if he was inclined...Eric thanks for being so cool! I love you!
Anyways the Easter egg hunt was great, I took Levi and Eric took kaylee. Eric found the door prize egg, and got the buckie the badger stuffed animal from Build-a-bear. Levi carries it around calling it his baby. We met up with several of Eric's pals from Madison, since it was an alumni thing, and had breakfast before and lunch after the event. It was a good time, Levi hit the end of his rope though at the end of he lunch and we were glad to have the crabby pants drift off to sleep in his carseat on the way home. Later that we went to a dinner at a friends which was fun, Levi I think kissed a girl for the first time who wasn't his sister, eds little daughter. They had lots of fun playing with empty plastic egg shells. It's amazing, kids sometimes have the best time when there aren't any toys but the are making up their own games...
For Easter we went to Krissy and Matt's for a very nice brunch. The kids loved all the attention. Levi got a soft baseball bat from his grandma he was having quite the time with and Kaylee got some light up princesses and declared that I can return the Barbie I got for her, which I plan to do just that. We have so much stuff can't wait for opportunity for returns or goodwill trips, to help get a sense of reprieve from our "stuff".
Then we went to Cindy and chucks for a second Easter, I got so stuffed! It was good to see all the family.
Ever since Easter there fav thing in their basket was inflatable floaty animals rings for the swimming pool, they go around chasing each other and laughing hilariously at each other. Can't wait to see what they do in the water this summer with them. (note that they will also be wearing their life jackets!)
Kaylee is very excited for her grandparents to come tomorrow. We didn't keep it a secret from her since we were imploring from her that she needs to clean up her toys...she can't wait. It'll be nice to have some time away with them. I'll let ya know how it is, hope you had a very happy and healthy Easter everybody! Take care!
