Peering into the May photo album I found two things, first this:
This is Zander's school shirt. Zander is pig pen. Seriously people. With how dirty these shirts come home I have visions of him taking a dirt bath like a Chinchilla in the middle of the school playground. I honestly can't figure out how else he could possibly get so filthy. I had to take a photo one day to document it. I don't think the photo really does it justice. I can't wait till Mayla joins him at this school because she can keep up with him in the dirty department.
The second photo was this:
This is my poor baby after going head to head with the metal ladder on the play structure at school. Poor kid. I was at work when I got a call from the school. They told me that Zander was hurt and they were trying to decide whether to call an ambulance or not. This is NOT the call you want to get from the school. They said he slipped while going up the ladder and as he fell his eye brow smacked into the last of the metal steps. It was swollen like a giant egg coming out of his face. I got into the car immediately and went over there (a 15 minute drive) and when I got there they had called the fire department to come check him out. They asked that I take him to the emergency room or to his doctor immediately. We went to his doctor and they said that we were lucky that it hadn't sliced wide open. We watched him for a concussion that night and other than a lot of bruising and swelling he was okay. His entire eye turned black and a lot of his temple. It took over 2 weeks to heal. It was starting to look a little better by the morning of his birthday and so I let him go to gymnastics class. Unfortunately during the first 5 minutes of warm up he and another kid ran head first into each other and it smacked him right in the exact same spot! We couldn't believe it. That set the healing back a bit too.
