Monkey Adventures

It has come to my attention that several of our friends find our life wildly entertaining. So, in order to keep them laughing, here are some random stories about our crazy little monkeys.

- A few days ago, Luke was watching TV in the family room, I was watching TV in the living room, and Jacinda was bouncing around all over the place. Luke comes into the living room, sighs, and says, "Mommy, Jacinda went outside with no pants on." She likes to open and close the sliding door that opens onto the deck. She was wearing a shirt and a diaper, but no pants. I left the door unlocked, and sure enough, she was standing on the deck with no pants on!!!!!

- I told Luke that he needed to stop growing because his pants were getting too short and I didn't want to buy new ones. He said, "But I HAVE to keep growing." I asked why and he said, "So I can reach things."

- Last night, Jacinda fell off the couch onto a puzzle, and landed on her face. She didn't have a single mark on her face!!! Then at church this morning, she ends up with a nasty scrape on her face and no one knows how it happened!!!!! She's going to end up in the ER one of these days.

These 2 monkeys definitely keep us laughing and we LOVE it!!!! There's always something crazy going on around here!!!!!

On a more serious note .... Jacinda's palate surgery is still on for February 3rd. She has a hearing test this Wednesday. Everyone (her pediatrician, her speech therapist, and us) think her hearing is fine. It's just something that a lot of cleft kids have issues with, so her pediatrician thought it was a good idea to at least get a baseline before her surgery. Her pediatrician's office pulled some strings and called in a few favors to get us in this quickly!

Luke has a follow-up appointment the week of January 25th with a cardiologist. He has a tiny heart murmur that was diagnosed when he was a day old. It has never caused any problems and still isn't. He saw a cardiologist when he turned 1 and he had several tests on his heart and the doctors were not concerned. His pediatrician would just like us to have a follow-up.

I (Sherry) have several medical appointments over the next few weeks. I'm seeing a new ENT doctor this coming week for some help with my allergies and sinuses. I have a root canal scheduled for the 27th of January. The dentist that's doing the root canal is kind of wacky, so I'll have to write a post about that later!

That's about it from here ...... just pure chaos!!!!!!
