Never a dull moment...

Took Isaiah, a.k.a. MOOSE back to the dr today. Now weighing in at 16lbs and 5ozs. It was amazing that every dr and nurse that walked in today greeted him by saying something in regards to how big he is. Mostly it was HEY CHUNK!!! Boy he's a big baby. or may favorite... I wonder how much he's gained this week. We are so blessed to be in an office full of staff who cares about our baby like we do. They always ask about the girls and of course wanna know what funny thing Elijah has done this week.

I had both boys by myself today and it was interesting. Here is a conversation that took place between Elijah and one of the nurses... (She was trying to get him to stay in the room with us while dr worked on isaiah's NAM.)

Nurse: you gotta stay in here buddy.
Elijah: Toys, got toys?
Nurse: You want toys? wait here... Here comes toy # 1& 2 (books)
Elijah: after checking things out in the room for a few and then trying to get out again says "toys" (knowing there is a treasure chest out there)
Nurse: you like dinosaurs?
Elijah: dinosaur (in his own version of course)
Nurse: (goes and gets toy #3 a dinosaur that we named OUCHY cause of sharp edges)
Elijah: I hear choo choo
Nurse: U hear a choo choo? Where?
Elijah: in the bathroom
Nurse: U hear a choo choo in the bathroom? I don't hear a choo choo in the bathroom.
Elijah: (with a grin on his face knowing at that moment he outwitted the nurse says..) U wanna go look?
Needless to say Elijah got out the door and waving for her to go find toys. Which he led her straight to the treasure chest. (toy #4 came with us.) Thank goodness our appointment was over. I didn't have room for anything else.

As we were leaving Elijah waves and says "bye, gotta go get my popcorn" of course he remembered my bribe for him to be good. Some popcorn from the snack bar as we paid for the ticket.

Girls had parent teacher conferences today so I was busy with that. I rush back and made it to school with a few minutes to spare. While I was inside, Devon watched the girls and Elijah paly on the playground. It wa sgreat moment for them to burn so energy. I come outside to find Dana dragging her foot. She was complaining how much it hurt. After questioning what happened, I found out that Dana climbed to the top of the slide (prob 10 to 12 feet high) and jumped! yes I said jumped. I watched and seen she was walking on it but she she caught me looking the drama queen came out. She babied it but walked on it through the evening, Seemed sore but she really seemed ok. The she got up at 11:30 and came downstairs to go to bathroom. As soon as she saw daddy on the couch the tears started. I took her socks off and checked it. Couldn't see any swelling really and no bruising. After daddy helped her to the bathroom I gave her some medincine and wrapped it with an ace bandage. She got on the floor and crawled away towards the stairs laughing, so who knows. I guess I will see in the morning. Will keep you posted.

Everyones asleep so off I go to bed. Good night.
