All Boy

Dreyson is ALL BOY! He is a very busy little guy who always has to be doing something. I often get comments on how busy he is. Here is proof that Dreyson always keeps us on our toes....

We have made 2 trips to the ER with Drey in the last month!

The first one happened when he jumped off my bed on the day of Jena's preschool graduation. Jena and Drey were practicing flying (they are absolutely convinced that if they just practice enough, one day they will take off) It is not uncommon for them to do this and I really didn't think much of it. I have tried to gently break it to them that no matter how hard they try, they won't fly, but they don't believe me. So, when both kids showed up wearing a pair of Jena's dress up fairy wings, I didn't even blink an eye. Little did I know that they were planning their flying lessons in my room. Off MY bed. My bed is pretty high. Drey still has a hard time climbing up on it. I was in the other room and when I heard the scream, I KNEW something was wrong. So I ran in there to see them both lying on the floor. Apparently they jumped together, arm in arm. Drey could not walk on his leg. He would just collapse. So, being the awesome mother that I am, I told him to go lay down and then we would see how he felt when he woke up. Classic mother response right. "Take a nap. You'll feel better when you wake up." Ha! Except he did not feel better. I finally decided that I had better take him to get checked the next day when he still would not walk on his leg.

He had a suspected fracture (they couldn't actually find one, but due to the fact that he would not walk on his leg for almost a week, they suspected a toddlers fracture) in his leg and got to wear a splint for 2 weeks. The longest 2 weeks ever!

This one happened during a pillow fight with a cousin. Pillow fight. Sounds harmless, right? Dreyson fell and hit his head on the end table at my parents house. I was actually already at our pediatricians office with Jena for her 5 year old well check. I got a phone call from my niece who was at my parents saying that Drey had hit his head and was bleeding really bad and I needed to come back right now. I got to my parents, saw his head, and turned around and headed right back to the doctor for stitches.

Oh Dreyson, we love you! Please no more ER visits for a while.
