My Little Star

My Little Star,

What a little trooper. He made it 1 1/2 hours at the Utah Hogle Zoo, spent 3 1/2 hours at Wheeler Historical Farm Utah until some kid smashed his poor little injured hand.

He just wants to play like a normal kid.

I was at the farm with him and a polish lady was talking to us. My boy was running back and forth on the seat for the wagon ride. So this lady starts telling me how well behaved he is and how great his manners are.... Here I thought he was being a little unruly running across the seat while we waited, but he handed her the token for the ride her son had dropped on the bottom of the wagon, and let her know they dropped it. She said thank you and he said your welcome. But she said that she has one his age and that he totally wild compared to my son. This isn't the first time I've heard it either. But if what I think my son is doing is acting up, what in the world are other peoples kids doing?!

Just food for thought....

Not for the timid.

This is not for those who can't handle injuries, blood, gore ETC ETC!


This is a picture of my child's injury 3 days after getting stitches....

Bandage change was brutal....

Bandage change was brutal.... 

His bandage stuck to his stitches. We couldn't touch it with out him screaming, so we left it hanging while we called Primary Children's for suggestions.. which they came back with the same one that came to mine and rays mind.. only I didn't voice it cause they told us expressly not to get his hand wet... Yeah, drop drops of water on it and let it soak a little... Ha ha ha.... So I went to go get the boy, who started freaking out again.... Then I told him to come with me and do you know what that little turd did?! He pop's off with "I got it off mommy!" I turn and look, and sure enough he took it off himself with out so much as a whimper about it. That boy will one day have a chance at a great acting career don't you think?

 

 That doesn't look anywhere near as bad as as when it was opened and un-stitched...

My poor baby...

LIfe's Little Trials

My poor son tripped and fell.

 He happened to find a piece of aluminum half buried and dirty in the ground while with his dad at Grandpa's. It sliced a wound deep into the meat of his thumb larger than a quarter and smaller than a half dollar. I get his call from my other half while going out on my lunch break. I told him where the nearest Insta-care was, and as I was getting close they told him to go up to Primary Children's Hospital. Boy he lost a lot of blood out of it.
He'll live so far. But boy he didn't take it well when they were stitching it up. As long they weren't touching it, he was a trouper. But the minute they did he could give a screeching banshee a run for it's money. I may be deaf now... :D
  I was telling Ray Ray we'd get him a happy meal when we were all done and on our way out, and the nurse goes "Mom deserves a Big Mac or something after this...." I said "Mom needs something, but she has to get up and go to work in the morning."
I stayed the whole time, didn't get squeamish, didn't cry (god knows I wanted to) , and  held him down explaining that they had to fix.

 

Zoo Play

My son and I went to the Grand Opening of Utahs Hogle Zoo Rocky Shores Exhibit....
We had FUN!

A childs conversation while waiting...

We were waiting for a friend and his mom to finish in a salon. Kids were getting a little restless and were playing hide & seek in the few clothes and scarves they had for sale. Had to make them stop. 

Then came the conversation portion of waiting.  My son noticed a mannequin and started pointing things out on it. He loudly informed me it's head & arms were missing. I said "yes" He then said "It's like you mommy." I said "not exactly like me."  A Guy was sitting playing on his laptop paying slight attention to the conversation. My son said "Uh HUH! You both have boobies. See?" he pointed to the mannequin then at me, "It has boobies and you have boobies Mommy. " He nodded at me and then continued "Except you have BIG boobies mommy." I could see the guy trying to hide his mirth at the statement. I looked at my son and said "Yes honey I do. Just like when you pointed it out at Walmart... "


The gentleman closed up his laptop and seemed done with waiting at this point.


I can imagine that it made great conversation later on that day when he felt it was OK to laugh out loud....
