Stitches

Q is always so cautious, but a little clumsy too. For a 4 year old little boy, he really hasn't had many cuts and scrapes so I guess he was overdue. After a fun afternoon of swimming yesterday, he fell on some stairs and cut his forehead. He ended up needing 9 stitches. He was so brave and is doing well now. I always say he and I are so much alike. While watching the doctor give him his shots into his cut, I remembered something that I had almost completely forgotten about. When I was just about his age I cut my forehead in almost the exact same spot that he did and ended up at the hospital needing stitches too.

Q's Room

We've been in the condo for just over a year now and I finally finished up Q's room.  Q's not really your typical cars and trucks, rough little boy.  I think this fun forest better suits his personality, it's fun, silly and quirky just like our Q. 

Four!!

How is Q four already?  How did that happen so fast?  For his bday this year, we just kept it low key.  We've had a party for him every year and he always hates the attention.  We didn't plan a party this year then out of the blue, a couple of days before his bday, Q told me he loves party hats and blowing out candles.  So we just had our neighbors over for cupcakes, party hats and candles.  Then on his bday, Dan, Michelle and Lilly came over to celebrate his special with us.

Bowling

Our neighbor's son, Nicholas, is two weeks older than Q.  Nick had a bowling party for his bday party this year and his mom, Wendy, got all the kids bowling shirts.  Q was nervous at first, but with a little push from our neighbors he gave it a shot and LOVED it!  He bowled three complete games.  He would watch for his name on the monitor to know when it was his turn and would grab his ball all on his own.

School

Q's school is just down the street from my work.  So, for his birthday I brought his class cupcakes and got to spend his recess with him.  And last night was his first open house.  He is still very shy and still not thrilled about school, but he's doing well.

Springtime...

Q found this headband at Target the other day.....and he had to have it.  Happy Spring!!

Finding Neverland

One night a couple of weeks ago, my neighbor found the DVD Finding Neverland and let me borrow it because she knew it was one of my favorite movies.  I was excited to watch it, but didn't really think Q would want to sit through it.  I asked Q if he wanted to hang out on the couch and watch a movie with me.  He agreed and hopped up in to my lap.  He loved the movie and we had such a nice time watching it together.  A couple of nights later at the dinner table, I looked over and Q was hanging a spoon from his nose.........just like Johnny Depp did in the movie......kid cracks me up!
