Let's see...
Wednesday morning Hayden had an early morning visit to the dentist to have a cavity removed. He was very brave, and the pediatric dentist we went to was well equipped to ensure kids stay relaxed and happy. They gave him a drink with some sort of anti-anxiety medication in it which caused him to act kinda drunk. The procedure was quick and painless, for him at least, and he was excited to get to pick out a prize from the treat trunk (a toy yo-yo if you are curious; further note - while yo-yo's look like lots of fun for a four-year-old boy, it would seem that the dexterity required to properly manipulate one eludes their most valiant attempts at operation, dad's however will become quite proficient at re-spooling the string).
Thursday Grandma & Grandpa came into town from Cardston. They were able to spend the bulk of the day with Kirsty and Hayden where they were able to adventure all across town running errands. They also brought a gift for Hayden in the form of an exercise bike for him to ride along with while mom is on hers. That evening, we were able to join them along with Mandy, Jeff, Connor, Spencer & Gina, for dinner at Cravings, a fairly unique market-style restaurant located on Fairmont road.
Friday night, Nana and Poppa arrived from Vernon. Hayden was quite excited to see them and made sure big hugs were given all around. They brought him a Swing-ball, a 'zim-zam' like tetherball game which has been quite a hit (figuratively and literally) with both him and his cousins. They also brought out a pair of rose bushes from the grower in Vernon for Sean and I to fight over (you would think parents of their experience would have known enough to bring identical items).
Saturday brought Hayden's first week of organized soccer, and my debut as an assistant coach. I would like to think that everyone had a good time, as nine 3- and 4-year olds with soccer balls does not a recipe for boredom make. Hayden is the oldest & biggest player on the team and was even able to open the scoring up for his side (video to follow I hope). He is a pretty kind and generous player (doesn't like stealing the ball from the other team) and Dad has to fight the urge of encouraging him to play 'meaner.'
Well, beyond that, Fynlee continues to grow like a weed (up to 15 lbs this week) and is a very happy and smiley girl, with cheeks chubby enough that she stops a lot of traffic. She also happens to spit up more than any other child I have met which makes for lots of laundry and messy carpets.
I have been working on the landscaping arms race out in front of the house, and preparing for my trip to Peru (bless Kirsty's heart) on the 14th.
