A day of firsts...

Ashlyn's first day of Kindergarten...and boy was she excited! She's been talking about this day for months. There were a couple of prerequisites that she thought she needed to have before she started Kindergarten: 1. To write her name and 2. To whistle. For some reason, she had it in her head that every kid in Kindergarten knew how to whistle. I'm happy to report, she met both requirements.:) I can't believe my baby's starting school, but I know she'll do great.

Another first for us...Ethan broke his leg and his foot. What was he doing to incur such a horrific injury, you ask? Jumping off the stairs with his cousin. I was not at the scene when it happened and Josh was feeding Liam, but Ashlyn states that he was at least seven stairs up when he took the leap. But let me tell you, this boy is tough. He cried for a good 20 minutes after it happened (which was how we knew something was seriously wrong - he never cries that much), but then once we got to the InstaCare, he didn't make another peep the entire time. Even when the X-ray technician was moving his leg all around, he didn't wince or cry out. In fact, she was quite surprised when she saw the break in his tibia (larger bone in the shin) because he didn't complain at all. Later on we found out that he also broke two bones in his foot. So it will be an interesting next 6 weeks. Thankfully, they are planning on putting a walking cast on in just two weeks. Until then, he has to learn to scoot around or be toted around by Mom and Dad. Through it all, he's been a real trooper.
