So, where do I start? I guess updates from my earlier posts are due.
Jordan did not break her elbow. She did bruise her growth plates pretty bad, which caused a LOT of pain to my girl! She had to be in the cast for one week and then in a sling for the following week. She missed 3 track meets and she hasn't let me forget it!
Muluken survived the dental surgery with flying colors. I took him back to the dentist the following week and we were literally out of the room within 30 seconds. Everything looked great and he has even lost another tooth since then.
Muluken has also mastered the 2-wheeler in record time. We tried that first Sunday evening and then didn't get on the bike again for over a week. The next time we went out, I had him ride around in the yard, which helped him figure out his balance. He went back and forth a few times by himself within 10 minutes. Then the next day, he asked to go outside and ride his bike by himself. I told him to put his helmet on and go on the grass. The next thing I know, he was yelling from outside, "Mom. Look at me!" I looked out the front door and saw Muluken doing circles and crazy eights on the concrete pad in front of the garage. He had the BIGGEST smile on his face! He did it and hasn't looked back since.
Muluken also got his first ride on a moped, thanks to his gym teacher, Mrs. T. We were at Cassie's softball game in Wega and Muluken pointed out the moped and told me "Mom. Motorcycle!" Mrs. T. told Muluken the moped was hers and he stated, "No Way!" Mr. T. asked him if he would like to go for a ride (the first time he has ever met Mr. T.) and he never hesitated. The entire softball team had turned around when Muluken started giggling with a squeal. He was SO EXCITED!! He's already been on the moped for a second ride this week. He's such a lucky little man! I told Mr. and Mrs. T. that they didn't have to do that, but Mrs. T. said it is fun to join in on Muluken's "firsts". How true that is!
Noah was in a drama play at the end of April. This was the first time Muluken had watched kids in a play at our school, and he just LOVED it. He watched his brother with pride and clapped all the time for him. The funny part is that Noah didn't have ANY speaking parts throughout the entire play. He was a silent artist and also a silent guard. No singing. No dancing. No talking. Too funny!! Muluken was just so proud of his brother for dressing up so silly! :)
Here are a few pics from the drama play:
The HAPPY Guard
The BORED Guard
The VERY PROUD little brother!
(Check out those 2 new front teeth!)
Muluken and Noah also had their "Spring Fling" singing program at the end of April. This was Muluken's first performance in front of people at the school. WOW!! As you can tell from the next two pictures, Muluken did NOT want to look at the crowd. He never saw Brad or I in the bleachers. All he had to do was look straight forward~but that never happened. He did try to sing along a little bit but he mostly just watched his friends.
He wouldn't even look at these pictures on my camera. What a little man!
Here are a few pictures of the Big Brother singing with his fourth grade class:
Now this little man is quite a performer!
