Family Time

We took a quick trip up to Bedford in the middle of February and spent some time with the family. The girls visited the American Girl Store while the boys played guns. Tess has two American Girl dolls and loves both of them, one can fit in her back pack and she likes bringing Camille with her. After the American Girl Store we walked around the Galleria, watched the ice skaters and even made a build-a-bear. It was a full day.

One morning we were waiting for everyone to get ready so we could head out to run errands and Tess and I decided to Snapchat a couple pictures. Tess forgets about the app and then she sees it wants to take a million pictures. She really enjoyed the banana face one.

That night while the boys were out running an errand Tess scooted back in the chair and screamed out in pain, Mona and I looked at each other because we could not figure out what had happened. We put some ice on her arm and continued playing out game because we were not sure if she was in pain or if she wanted some sympathy. After about 10-15 minutes of her not moving the arm and she saying it was still in a lot of pain we realized something must have happened we got her shoes on and took her to an urgent care place, about an hour later we walked out good as new. She had nursemaid’s elbow. Basically the parts in her elbow came out of place and the doctor had to click everything back in. Her body relaxed the minute he put everything back in place. We are on the tail-end of this injury, so she should grow out of the risk soon. She was a trooper in the room and with the doctor.

We woke up early Sunday and headed home because we had bought tickets to Monster Jam. Tess had been watching Monster Jam videos for about a month getting prepared for the event and was pretty excited. She got pretty bored during the time trials, which I will admit is boring, but she loved the freestyle. In the end she said she liked it and would like to go back. We got tickets through the Buzz morning show so the tickets were cheap and great seats so if we have the opportunity to do that again I would totally take her again!
