Tonight went a bit different then expected. We were planning on going to dinner and then down to Pepperfest. We ended up making a trip to the ER after cutting out of dinner in a hurry! As we were leaving Champps, Bennett was running, tripped and fell on the step. Went right down on his head and caught himself on the metal edge of the step. Blood was everywhere, we rushed out of the restaurant and headed right over to the Woodwinds ER. Bennett rode in the back of the car on Trav's lap, while I drove. Once there, we got checked in and they proceeded to put some numbing gel on the cut, so that he would be ready once they called us back. We waiting about 45 minutes and Tia Sue came over to visit Bennett. It was a nice break and she brought some great things to play with. Once in the room, the doctor came in, checked Bennett out and proceeded to get ready for stitches. Sure enough - six of them!!! And here Travis and I were wondering if we should even go into the hospital! YIKES!!! Bennett was a trooper through the whole procedure and only cried when the doctor was cleaning it. Now, we head back in to see Dr. Plotnik in a couple of days to have them removed. Hopefully it will heal nicely and the whole night will just be a memory!

Big Boy Bed
Well, we will see how much sleep comes our way tonight. Bennett is in his big boy bed for the first time tonight. He is soooo excited and proud. He loved walking into his bed and crawled right in. We videotaped the whole thing and he was proud to narrate. We will let you know how cute it is in the morning! Or middle of the night!

Predictable
I started thinking about the next few weeks as summer comes to a close and all of the wonderful fall activities are upon us. This lead me to think back on our summer and all of the great things that we have done... and how much fun everything is with Bennett. I started to see a pattern - I think we are somewhat predictable.

Chatter
Bennett's speech has increased ten fold in the past two weeks. I am not sure if it has something to do with spending all this time with Travis and I, but whatever it was he is talking like crazy! Before he was putting words together and talking. His words are abundent. Now he is making LONG sentences. Like "Mommy, I watch softball." "Bow-wow goes potty." "I go potty on the potty." "I watch softball now, Mommy." These are just a few examples of things he is saying. The other thing is that what he is saying, makes sense! What amazes both Travis and I is just how fast this transition came on. He really is growing up!
