My Hair Needs Mowing!

The glue & tape are holding!!!  

Wednesday was crazy hair day at the kids program at church.  We sprayed his hair green and bobby pinned some bugs & lizards for a over grown back yard on his head.  We kept teasing him that his daddy was going to mow it.  But he said that the lawn mower was too big.  Jerry is also sporting his new Cubbies vest.  He has passed his first level (memorizing 3 verses & motto) in Awanas (sort of Sunday School & Scouting combined).  We had a hard time with the first line to memorize - the Cubbies Motto:  Jesus love me.  
Just three words.  Seems simple enough...  

       Jerry can you say the Cubbies Motto:  Jesus loves me.

"Jesus loves YOU!"

No... Jesus loves ME

What's the Cubbies Motto?  Jesus...

"Jesus loves YOU!"

Not YOU.... ME.  Like the song

The Cubbies Motto is: Jesus Loves ME

Whats the Cubbies Motto?

"Jesus loves YOU, Mom!"

This went on for several days - but two days before Awanas he finally got it and quickly memorized his other verses.

Trip to the ER



Before

After

Yesterday, Jerry tripped and hit is head on the edge of the table at school.   It took 4 nurses and his mother to hold him down (while he was papoosed in a blanket) to tape & glue his cut back together.  It was only a 3 1/2 hour wait at the ER - record timing last time we went it was nearly 8 hours.  He is in great spirits and was mainly concerned about his blankie which had gotten covered in blood.  I followed through with the promises(bribes) during the ordeal with McDonald's, Ice Cream and a trip to visit the animals at the pet store. The poor kid was starving eating 4 chicken nuggets, a double cheese burger, apple dippers, and fries.   We are asking for prayers that the steri-strips and derma bond hold; otherwise, we will have to go back to Driscoll Children's Hospital for him to be sedated and then stitched.
