Toothbrushes

Lp has a newfound obsession with toothbrushes. His favorite drawer to get into is the drawer that contains three of our toothbrushes. If one of us leaves the bathroom door open, he literally runs right in there and opens the drawer to try and find the toothbrushes. If he finds one in there, he runs around the house with it hanging out of his mouth. Obviously this is not very safe and we have, much to his dismay, removed the toothbrushes. So...he gets overjoyed when it is time to brush his teeth at night. He literally throws a tantrum when we are done. Hopefully his love of toothbrushes and oral hygiene continues as he grows:)!

Sledding Fun!

Winter is a long time for a little one to be stuck inside. One of LP's favorite things to do is to stare outside the windows and watch the snow fall. Between LP being sick on and off for so much of the Winter and bitter cold temps, we haven't had much of a chance to be outside with him. The past couple of weeks, however, Brad has taken LP sledding around our house. To say LP LOVES being outside is an understatement. Brad and LP spent over an hour outside together the other day and LP screamed and cried and threw a tantrum when it was time to go inside. Just imagine what he'll do after we make him come inside after a day of playing outside this Summer:). He loves playing outside in the snow, especially on his sled. He will not walk in the boots I bought him, so we either have to carry him or let him wear shoes in the snow. He doesn't seem to care much about being cold and would much rather stay outside playing than come into the warm house.

We absolutely love the time we get with this little one and it's so much fun to watch him learn and experience things for the first time!

Free!

Last week Wednesday, February 17, LP got his cast taken off! He really did so well for the four weeks that he had it on. He didn't use his arm much for the first few days, and then as soon as he realized how to use his arm with the cast on it, he was using it like normal.

He cried quite a bit during the xrays. Thankfully my mom was with me because I wouldn't have been able to be in there with him because of the pregnancy. He did very well during the actual cast removal (I think the banana split flavored dum-dum pop may have helped)!

He didn't really react any differently to having his cast off. He did look at his arm funny for a bit the next morning after he woke up, but other than that he transitioned very well. Praise God that the break healed correctly and that we don't have to do anything further!
