Head Injury/Sleepover!

Everyday after school, Jared has a snack, then immediately plays with Jaime. (If you've seen Jaime's World or Facebook, you've seen the photos of them playing). Well, Thursday, just before dinner, Jared was being silly and ran right into the corner of the hallway wall. He got a big goose egg and an abrasion on the side of his head. This warranted a quick trip to Hillcrest ER. Thankfully, the dr. on was a friend of mine! Mike asked me if Jared received his IV Factor (Yep, that was the second thing I did after wrapping an ice pack around his head). He felt that Jared should be OK and told us the normal concussion signs to look for. Orella, the nurse, took Jared to the "snack room" filled his arms with snacks and off we went. Jared had a bit of a rough day on Friday at school...his head was hurting "so bad" that I had to go up to the school with Tylenol. (Really he wanted to come home, but I wouldn't let him...mean Mommy! :)

Jared and his ice pack! He actually thought this was hysterical because he didn't have to sit and hold ice on it...he just posed for the photo!

Anyway, since he had a crazy week, I thought it would be fun for Jared to have his very first sleepover! My nephew, Connor slept over last night! The boys had sooooo much fun! They played the Wii, Legos and even got to play out in the snow that fell over night! They were sooooo good! It was really great seeing the boys get along...it was even funnier to listen to them play Legos. Apparently, each of them made space ships and had animal farms (with a lizard, badger and dinosaur), then they attended a party at Princess Leia's ship. Too funny! They were surprising in bed and asleep by 10:15 P.M. Can't wait to do it again...I think it may just turn into a Friday night thing! :)

Jared's turn.

Legos...see the lizard?

Getting ready for bed.

Bedtime!

Woohoo, SNOW!

Back in the warm house to play Legos.

Finished space town.

After Connor left this afternoon, Jared started his next level of ice skating. We found out today that Jared is skating on his toes...kind of a weird thing. Looks like we found a really great teacher that cares about these kids doing things the right way...and safely, too! :)

Not great photos...they never are in the rink, but that's Jared by his new teacher.

Jared's class!

We had a quiet evening at home. Tom has a gig tonight. Once Jaime fell asleep, Jared and I played the game of Life. Guess who won? Yep, JARED! He almost ALWAYS does! He ended the game with $1,245,000, so not fair! (We both said we wished it was "real" money, HA.)
So long, until next time.....
