Pop goes the...

elbow!

Yep, she did it again. Abigail was jumping up and down while I was holding her hands and all of a sudden I heard that ominous click, and she started to scream. I thought we would be heading to the ER but I was able to relocate it with the help of a friend (who is an RN)!! As soon as we heard the click, she was able to use it again.This saved Abigail and I a trip to the ER and about $800.

Abigail was back to playing with the kids a few minutes later. She even did a handstand on the couch to show everyone how much better she was feeling. But it is scary how quickly she dislocated it again. It has only been 3 weeks since we were at the ER in Charlotte having it relocated. Plus it seems like it is taking a lot less to dislocate it.

Dislocation #1 Running for doors in Walmart
Dislocation #2 Walking up steps with Grandma
Dislocation #3 Jumping out of chair at day care
Dislocation #4 Jumping up and down at party, holding my hand

Whats your Child Talent?

Your child has strong spatial ability. Your may be living with the next famous astronomer such as Carl Sagin or the next cutting edge artist such as Picasso or Frida Kahlo.

These children can spot everything, including candy hidden behind your back. They know where everything is located in the house. They are great at finding lost items for other family members. They think in pictures and forms.

That is Abigail to a "t". Click below to find out what your childs talent is.

Lovies

For all of you that know Abigail, you know to go to sleep she MUST have her lovey to go to sleep. Her Aunt Catie gave her a Pink Gund doggie when she was 11 days old and she has slept with it every night since.

Today we learned that Loveys are not just for babies. Sixty year old men get a lot of use out of them too :)

Breakfast with Sam...(and Teesa)

We had the pleasure of having breakfast with our friends Teesa and Sam today. It was a lot of fun...to meet and talk of them. You can read more about them at her blog http://www.klearlife.blogspot.com/ Here are some pictures of us at Shoneys for breakfast.
