More amazing kids

We had some extra excitement this week. Some was expected – some… not so much. We’ve enjoyed having some of our favorite people visiting. Drearie was kind enough to spend her Spring Break with us in rainy Middle Georgia instead of Daytona. We appreciate her sacrifice. Robin and Smiley girl are spending the rest of the week with us, too. I’m glad we invested in a new mattress for the guest room.
I (Chad) and Wilder have both had some icky sticky snotty nose boy stuff. Wilder’s story is little more interesting than mine. We took him to the doctor (we wanted to get Wilder tested for hereditary diseases anyway). The doctor prescribed a nasal spray which apparently is more fun than Disney World for a 3 year old boy. He was brave and even wanted to watch them extract his blood. He was fascinated. When they were finished, he asked the nurse to put it back in. The nurse fibbed and said she already did. He got another chance to see his necessary crimson fluid again on Thursday night.
After taking a shower, Wilder started shaking off before I’d let him get out. I stepped out to check on Adeline. (*scream*) – off stage left. The water covering Wilder’s body had been replaced. A quick assessment showed the flow only originating from his top two front teeth. Isolated injury. Long story short – the dentist says there’s no permanent injury… other than the chipped tooth. I hope he learned something about consequences. He sure took his licks like a man. I’m proud of you, Wilder.
I watched Adeline today as she chose to make a loving, patient choice instead of being upset. While playing a warm up game for gymnastics, Adeline lost because another girl broke the rules and everyone watching knew it. With all eyes watching to see what would happen, Adeline chose to sit out instead of making it an issue. I’m proud you, Adeline.

You kids are amazing.
