Double ouch!


Grace LOVES to watch people cook. She pulls a chair up to the counter and watches and learns. For example, I was making cole slaw yesterday and she's seen it made so many times that she knows we use our hands to mix and squeeze it up. Anyway... Ron also decided to make homemade soft pretzels later on so of course Grace pulls up a chair. While trying to get down she must have slipped and hit her chin on the counter and now has two holes in her tounge. She would NOT let me look at her mouth when it first happened. It took a good 20 minutes or so before she would open her mouth just enough to let me see. She just kept crying and saying, "it will be fine momma!" She's so brave. Either that or she's so chicken when she's really hurt that she pretends nothing is wrong.
She wanted nothing to do with anything that would even make it feel better. No ice, no popsicle, no medicine (and I never have an issue with medicine), no kisses, no nothing. It was so sad. She eventually cried herself to sleep and woke up every once in a while crying probably because her mouth got dry and it hurt her tounge.
Every time I tell her to show me she smiles and says that it's getting better!

Sadie Gets Her Ears Pierced!



Sadie did MUCH better than anticipated.
There was a split second where I actually thought there was no way we would leave with Sadie's ears pierced. But she sat in the chair without fear and unaware of what Grace went through. (MeeMa took her for a little walk while Grace went first. I knew Grace would get over the pain relatively quick and be happy enough to show Sadie her ears). As soon as the nice lady got close to her she got a little shy and as soon as the piercing was over the screaming began. She took a little longer to calm down but nothing new chapstick wouldn't cure. As soon as we found some that wasn't priced way incredibly high she forgot all about her ears.
Thanks MeeMa!

Grace Gets Her Ears Pierced!



Grace was one tough cookie.
It's tough to watch how excited your child is over something they have no clue how much it's going to hurt. It wasn't that long ago I had a second hole put in my ears so I remember how much it actually hurts.
She LOVES her new earrings and is proud to show them off!
Thanks MeeMa!

Day 4: Airplane Ride Home





While this is technically their 2nd time on an airplane, the 1st time they were barely 6 weeks old. So this is their 1st time understanding what they are doing. And they had a great time!

Day 3: Sea World

Totally cute outfits from Bobby & Sopia!
Slamu is what they call him/her (?)
Mommy and Daddy sea turtles.
The dog and cat show was probably the biggest hit for them. They didn't seem to care for the dolphin show. During Shamu (which wasn't til 9pm) Sadie had to pee but didn't want to say so for fear she might miss something. I finally put her pull up on and told her it was okay to pee in her pull up this one time. She wouldn't do it until she couldn't hold it anymore. I felt bad for her but she didn't want to leave. And then not 5 seconds later she fell asleep and missed half the show.
Grace fell asleep maybe 5 minutes before the end. They had a good time though. We rode rides and Grace jumped on one of those tramplines attatched to bungie cords. We have video of that I'll have to post as soon as I find the video camera.
I feel like we totally slacked on the Sea World pictures :(
