Mikey Man

We took Mikey for a walk around the block today in the stroller. Jaime and Will took turns running him around while I held Annie (our dog) on the leash. It was pretty fun.

When we got back to the house, we let Mikey wander around the front yard. He quite enjoyed pushing his stroller around. Even gave me a hug (one of his falling-on-top-me-while-I'm-sitting-on-the-ground hugs. =D).

Later in the day (or possibly before) we (Will, Jaime, and Me later) swung Mikey around in his toy bucket. Toy bucket as in: the bucket he puts his toys in. ;)

Soon after Mikey had gotten up from his nap, Jaime (I think it was her) put a movie on. Well, I was just sitting there watching it, and Mikey runs up to me, bringing me all these toys. He's throwing tennis balls at me, bringing me a toy to wind up for him, climbing up in my lap, begging for little pieces of my apple....yeah, silly kid. Ha. =)

Then later, I picked up all these little blocks and toys, and Mikey takes the little block bucket and dumps it right on his head! I clean it up again, and what does he do? Dumps it on his head. And then, once their all on the ground he starts going crazy with his hands whacking blocks everywhere. Guess it wasn't messy ENOUGH for him. Ha!

Man, I love that boy! Even if he is bratty sometimes.

Stitches!!!!

Jaime has to go to the doctor to get stitches! They (Mom, Will, and Jaime) are heading to the doctor right now!

This is what I hear happened: Will and Jaime were riding their bikes down a hill (hardly big at all, Jaime says). Jaime was in front and Will was behind. Well, when Jaime got down the hill, there was this hole (she didn't see it), and she ran her bike right into it, hit her leg on some piece of the bike, and flew off.

Now her knee has this small, but deep cut in it, so she has to get stitches. I'd say, she's not too happy about it, but she's tough. When she first got shots (she was like 4 or 5), she didn't cry at all.

So, yeah, she's the first one of us kids to ever have to get stitches.

Todays Big Story: Gone for a Walk

♥ Annie ♥


Today, Will took Annie (our pitbull) outside and left for a few minutes to do something. Next thing you know, he goes back outside, and she's not there. So we, me, Will, and Jaime, start searching for her everywhere. (Mom was at the dentist.)

Then Will and Jaime start getting all frantic. They take off around the block in search of her. Not halfway around the block, they find her with some black guys.

Well, as soon as they got her home, Annie, through me, starts explaining that she was just taking a walk, and that she figured she was plenty old enough to go by herself. She also told them about her new friends.

Jaime and Will, though, didn't think it was funny. (Too serious about things!) I also made the "you give her an inch, and she takes a mile" comment because yesterday we let Annie come out to the edge of the yard by the road and today she started to go around the block. Of course, she only really made it 1/16th of a mile, but you know....
