Slip-n-slide and Urgent Care

Last Friday we had some friends over in the afternoon to play on the slip-n-slide. Tucker had a blast playing with his friends. And I enjoyed some adult conversation for a little while. :) I got some cute pictures from the day…

Chase (2 1/2) and Tucker (1 1/2) playing in the “pool”Bennet (1)  Chase (2 1/2), Tucker (1 1/2) and Randy (2 1/2) Tucker climbing up to water my feet. It felt good since it was warm. :) Me and my little buddy Bennet. I love this kid. :)

On Sunday we had a rough day. We got to church a little early so we let Tucker run around outside for a few minutes. Well, he tripped and got some pretty nasty road rash on his forehead. He was not happy, but easily calmed. During Sacrament he was being a pill so David took him out to walk around the hallway. Well, Tucker decided to flop and try to get away from David and in doing so caused his elbow to pop out of socket. David text me to come out and check him. As soon as I picked him up he started to whimper and then fell asleep in my arms. This is VERY uncommon for him. What made me know that something was wrong was that even when he was asleep if I would move his left arm at all he would start crying. So, we decided that we need to take him to Urgent Care. We picked a good day to go because we were in and out in 40-minutes. There was only 1 person ahead of us. :) The Dr. told us that this is common in toddlers and it’s called “Nursemaid Elbow”. Within 2 or 3 minutes of the Dr. popping it back into place, Tucker was back to his normal self. The only thing that was bugging him at that point was the fact that he couldn’t get the hospital bracelet off of his wrist, so we cute it off for him. :)

After we got home and took a nap we had some friends over for a BBQ. It was SO fun being able to have so many people over to enjoy our new house. Tucker decided that he wanted to tackle his friend Chase and that just resulted in a bloody and fat lip for Tucker. Poor kid had a rough day. But we still enjoyed our evening with our friends and look forward to more BBQ’s. :)

Oh, by the way, sorry I didn’t get pictures of Tucker at Urgent Care. I guess I could have used my phone. Oh well.
