Rachel's Papa (Andrea's dad) gave her a nice paisly recliner chair, and she loves it. It sits in her play room, she sits it in it kicks her feet up and watches cartoons in the morning. However on this day she fell asleep in the chair...it was in a matter of seconds. She was laughing at cartoons so I took her picture, then went to show her daddy and email it to her Papa, and when I went back in she was asleep. Talk about comfort!!!
Matthew's surgery went really well, with having an abdominal hernia repaired he can not lift anything over 5 lbs for 2 months. Pray for me!! So we had to warn and prepare Rachel. Mommy told her that "daddy had an ouchie on his tummy but the dr. would make it all better. daddy will be sore for a while so you can not jump or tackle daddy, we have to be very gentle around him." Surely this would suffice, but Matthew took it a step further and said "the dr will cut daddy's tummy to make it better." She did not react, but I looked at Matthew and said "why would you tell her that?" She never really said anything, but the day of the surgery Rachel and I took him to the surgery center, dropped him off and then I took Rachel to school. I went back to the surgery center to be with Matthew, after taking him home I went to the school to pick up Rachel. Her teacher told me that Rachel spent all day telling people that "my daddy is going to cut up my stomach, but it is okay because it hurts." I could not belive it, and then I had to explain what happened.
But the best part of this experience was getting Matthew out of the house for the first time....we went to Walmart...he rode on the motorized scooter with the basket. I had to walk away from him several times while hiding my laughter, especially when he had to back it up and the cart loudly went " beep, beep, beep." I wish I had a picture.
