Kaelyn, the Olympic Diver, landed in the ER last night. She has loved watching the Olympics, especially the divers. She gets up on her little Dora stool and dives her fancy dive into a pool of blankets with little to no splash. She's been getting tremendous scores from the panel of judges (who may be a little biased, seeings how it is comprised of Mom, Dad and brother...) But last night she was using a prop, a wooden dowel (oops on mom's part). Maybe you can see where I'm going with this. She dived with dowel in hand and the dowel ended up poking her in her eye.....it was not fun. She was bleeding from her eye and she said she couldn't see. So, we rushed her into the ER here in Tooele. The doc looked at her eye through the fancy eye microscope and then dyed her eye yellow and looked at it with a black light. Happily, no cornea damage or scratches. Just a big bruise and some burst blood vessels. Jacob thought all of the scientific stuff was way cool and had Kaelyn interested by the end too. Happily ever after.....
A normal kid ER visit! Wow, we really are progressing into 'normalcy'.
In other news...school starts this week. Jacob will be in third grade and Kaelyn starts Kindergarten next week. I can't believe my eyes when I look at these two. They just grow so fast.
Jacob also has his 8th birthday on thursday, consequently the same day school starts. What a present, the first day of school!
I also added some more pics to the flickr account. It has some from Jacob's birthday party and a few extras.
love,
Angie
