Earlier this week, Kaden got a splinter under his fingernail. We tried to remove it, with no success. I was going to let it try and work its way out, but two days later, he started complaining about it. That's when I decided I needed to do something and get it out. Called the Dr and got an appointment for the next day. Kaden was very brave and did so well while the corpsmen were working on his finger. Nikolas was so supportive of him telling him he was going to be ok and that he was doing a great job. The corpsmen were one try away from numbing, soaking, and pulling back the nail a little to get it removed. Thank God that didn't have to happen. Kaden is now happy to tell everyone that his owie is now gone.
Since Kaden did so well at the Dr, and Nikolas was supportive, we decided to buy them a new toy. They chose GI Joe men on motorcycles. We thought after all of this, we would just come home, go on a family bike ride and then go to bed. Little did we know that Nikolas would ask us to take his training wheels off his bike! He put his knee pads on, took training wheels off, and off Nikolas went. No falling, just riding! We are all so proud of him, and he is excited. We went on a bike ride and he rode his for at least a mile with no training wheels. He still struggles to start and stop but is getting better with each try.
My boys continue to grow up right before my eyes. Some I'm ready for, and others I'm not. I absolutely love it most when they are happy and proud of themselves for what they have accomplished.
Hope everyone is doing great. Love to you all! Tomorrow is FRIDAY!
