We had good intensions to make this Father's Day a good one....Thomas had other plans. The day started early, midnight, exactly. Thomas woke up with the worst nosebleed he has ever had. Once that was under control I got him back to sleep and then he was up two more times before 8am. We woke up and I made pancakes with sausage (Thomas' request) and scrambled eggs (Ken's request). By 10am Ken and Thomas were outside mowing. Afterwards we all got ready to go to a birthday swimming party. As we were getting ready to go out the door, Thomas decided to jump off our bed. Note: the mattress is up to my hip and he jumped like he was on a trampoline. He somehow landed on his face and busted that little skin thingy that attaches the top lip to the top gum. Needless to say, we had to go to the pediatric afterhours urgent care place. We didn't have a long wait. Long story short, they wouldn't do stitches. They said it had to heal on its own and that he needs to be on anti-biotics for five days. From the urgent care place we went to Publix to fill the prescription and to stock up on Tylenol. From there we headed to the pool party (2 hours late). Thomas was so anxious to get in the pool and swim. They have a "real" pool compared to our kiddie one. We put floaties on Thomas since he is not a swimmer. Well, he lost his footing on the step and began to sink....so much for the floaties. So I jumped in...clothes and all to save him. Ken then decided to put on his swim suit to help Thomas swim beyond the step area, but no luck. Thomas was traumatized by the "near-drowning" and was ready to be done. We were supposed to visit Papa for Father's Day after the party, but none of us could do it. It was just too bad of a day to go. So, Ken definitely needs a re-do for Father's Day and we owe Papa a special visit. :)
