What a CRAZY week it has been! Our sweet Ethan turned two! And all of a sudden in the last couple weeks, his vocabulary and articulation have just exploded. He's always been a good speaker "for his age" but now it's like talking to a big kid...almost :) Anyway, back to the birthday...
The kids broke his crib-turned-toddler-bed a couple of months ago (there's a reason your mom told you not to jump on the bed, right?) so he was in need of a place to sleep besides the matress on the floor.
My mom found this on craigslist:
We call it a bed, they call it a toy, everyone's happy! This boy LOVES vehicles...cars, trucks, tractors, trains...if it has wheels, he's all over it.
Check out his cake.
Yep, I'm a little proud of that. He was super excited. I think it's safe to say that it was the best 2nd birthday he's ever had.
Moving on in the week...we noticed on Sunday that he cried any time we touched his right arm and that he was being super duper careful about it. He was just using his left arm/hand a TON which was extremely noticeable to us since we put a lot of wasted effort into trying to make him left handed. He's not. SO, I took him to the (as Logan calls it) pedia-nutrition, who popped his elbow back into place (worst sound I've ever heard) and sent him in for an x-ray "just in case."
It was broken.
How did he brake it? Question of the day. It's what everyone asks when they see his tiny blue cast. The answer: We have NO IDEA. None. The best I can say is that it's likely from a fall. Because he's two. And he falls. I never noticed just how often until I was trying to make sure he was really careful yesterday. This kid is not coordinated :)
Last thought...
I have been SO blessed that all of my babies liked binkies for a short while and then decided they were over it by the time they were one. Not this new little cutie. Check this out.
Didn't see it? Look closer.
That is a THUMB...in her MOUTH! Can't cut it off and throw it away and I can't keep it out of her mouth. What is a thumb sucking fearing mom to do??
Poor Ethan! I broke my arm at that age from falling off a desk, but my mom didn't know it was broken and I didn't cry much, so mom spanked me for climbing on the desk. She felt bad later when I kept coming to ask her to turn the page in my book ;-)
