Preston Mishaps-A Video

Well Preston has become that rough and tumble boy! Yesterday at day care he slipped into a chair cutting his lip on the inside. Apparently I was not notified since there was no first aid other than TLC and an ice pop needed. That is actually a nice reprieve. His old day care called if he got a splinter which annoyed me because there is nothing I could do. Here, unless there is biting (either the biter or the bitee) or a facial injury on the outside of the face (not inside the mouth-unless of course a tooth is chipped), there is no call. Seriously I don't need a call regarding a scraped knee. My biggest concern was that his tooth was intact. I was already calculating his dental bills and thinking that I should have extended my dental coverage after leaving WEMED, when it was determined (my me and my dental degree) that his tooth was indeed fine and intact.
Today after Hanna left (which cracked me up because Virginians getting ready for this storm was about as ridiculous as New York City preparing for a dusting of snow), Preston and I spent the afternoon outside. He hit the curb on his ride on toy and went over the handlebars. This kid is so good with knowing how to fall, I think about when Cat thought Owen could be the next Wee Man and I am thinking perhaps Preston is on the same path. Crying lasted all of 20 seconds, followed by two minutes of crazy mommy checking his teeth again (I don't think I will allow hockey as he matures). He spent the next hour after that running, playing with his toys outside completely unfazed.

He also received his lunch at Friendly's reward for sleeping in his bed the whole week! No camping. Although he has rejected his pillow. I would say maybe it is a neck thing, but whenever he sees pillows on the floor he dives right in. Strange child. :-)

Here is a Preston video-please excuse the blatant booger hunting-he has really taken a liking to picking his nose. Enjoy the rest of the weekend!

Kim,

Oh Kim. Oh my goodness! He is so cute I can't stand it! I'd probably get him the french fries, the applesauce and a great big sundae at Friendly's!

Awww! I love the "sad" voice...Seamus will pout his lip and say "I'm so saaad" and give a little fake sniffle! Glad his booboo is okay and hope you had a blast at Friendly's!!

I just teared up when he said goodbye to me (even though you prompted him to) but the fact that he grouped Seve in there made me sad! I miss him! He's going to be like WTF? when I come there and Steve's not with me. I'm glad his tumble didn't necessitate a hospital visit and you know Kim, he can play hockey through college without losing teeth. You have to wear a cage no matter what. I'd picture him to be a fast skater with a lot of fight in him. Just putting it out there...

Hi Kim,
Way too cute - love the video! :) I'm glad his lip and teeth are ok! I saw his little hammer in the video - Simon thinks it is funny to hit things with his hammer.
Did you cave with the french fries? We started giving Simon french fries a few weeks ago, and he loves them almost as much as his cheerios.

That is so adorable!!! Yay for Preston that he is sleeping in his own bed like a big boy, and yay for mommy too! I think all kid do a little booger hunting at some point. Heck some adults still do it in their cars when they think no one else is looking! :)
