Yago was running toward the minivan door when suddenly he tripped. He fell face-first into the van door, and since the door was open he fell right onto a bolt. Here he is post-stitches. He just sat there like a champ with no general anesthesia. He had several injections to numb the area and sat patiently watching Monday Night Football as the ENT on call stitched him up. From the beginning he was trying to convince me that he was fine and didn’t need to go to the hospital for stitches…right. 8 internal stitches and one continuos set of external stitches later, here’s how he ended up:

The stitches are healing quite nicely, and he’ll have a fabulous scar. The only chapter left in this adventure is to come up with a story to match the scar.

The Tias were visiting from Spain in October (Yeah, I know. And I haven’t posted since August. Shame on me. I’ll try to play catch-up and include birthday parties and other such fun!)

Check out the video Paloma created from their trip. So much fun. Whenever I need a quick pick-me-up, I play this video!

Happy Holidays everyone! It’s great to see you here again!

You want to be “first” at everything. First to get to the door, first to get dressed, first to finish breakfast, first to run to that wall, first, first, first. Hmm…not sure where you might have picked up your competitive nature…

You want to place the last piece of the puzzle. If your brother has the last piece, you either wrestle him for it, or let him place it and just break off another piece so that yours is the last.

You curl your lip up on your right sometimes when you are explaining things. This makes me laugh on the inside.

You still like to snuggle a bit in the mornings.

You are usually good about saying “please” and “thank you”.

You LOVE to wash the baseboards. Actually, you love to wash anything I’ll let you wash as long as you get to use a spray bottle.

You love swimming and taking baths.

You love to spend the night at your grandparents’ house.

You love and enjoy school.

You usually play very well with your brother.

You like Rocky and Bullwinkle (you’ve watched every episode of every season).

You taught your brother the “why are you hitting yourself” shtick.

You are curious and ask questions.

You are “super duper” fun to be around.

THIS!

(He’ll likely hate me for this one day.)

The boys had fun today! It looks like playing Wii baseball at 18 months does make a difference!

Maybe Yago can teach Daryoosh a little bit of Wii baseball in the meantime.

And the biggest smile of all? Post goal.
