Playing for one hour

Today after Tyler nap he had his snack (as usual). I sat with him and worked on a Soduku puzzle. He wated my pen when he was done eating, but I gave him some of his crayons instead. He colored on the newspaper for a short time - THEN the fun really began. I'm not really sure what was going on in his head - but it was sure interesting to him. He sat in his high chair for nearly 30 to 35 min and pushed around his cryaons, sorted them, put them in the box and took them out. He dropped them on the floor a few times (so I had to pick them up for him). His concentration was unbelievable. He got frustrated at one point (I'm not sure why) and threw a bit of a fit. I put him down near the couch and brought him his crayons - he played with them on the couch for probably another 20 min. Again we were amaized by his concentration! I couldn't believe it!! He was very fun to watch.

Random thoughts

God is good to us.

How much do you consider the earth? I don't think I consider the earth in much that I do. I am going to a women's group that is going through a book about God and being concerned with the earth. I'm not sure I fit in. These are people that are much more interested than I could ever be.

Don't we look happy?

There's a First Time for Everything

Try telling Dave this. There's a first time for everything (or most things at least). Last night Tyler got his first set of stitches (before age two). Hopefully his last, but maybe not. He fell on the playground at school (hit his chin on the step) and gashed it open. I guess it happened around 4:00. The school called both Dave and I immediately - but we didn't get the message until around 5:00 (too busy at work, I guess). So Dave picked up Tyler and took him to Children's Hospital Urgent Care and they saw him pretty quickly. They were in a room by the time that I got there. He definitely needed stitches. So after waiting a bit for the numbing gel to work (which was not easy to put on him - he doesn't like to be bothered) we had to strap him down (I was hold his lower half and the nurse held his head) he received five stitches in his chin.

After the stitching was over he recovered nicely and we had a fun evening. He must have been egsuasted though - he slept until 10:00 am this morning.
