Odds and Ends

I'm not going to lie, wrestling has consumed our lives since it started and on top of that, I decided to put Aylah in swim lessons on Wednesdays.  Why not add something to the schedule?!

This week was Kailer's spring break and we did something 'fun' yesterday and he had his adenoids removed and tubes put in his ears.  Poor little guy got a nasty ear infection in January that left him with thick fluid in his ears that wouldn't clear itself and a fairly significant hearing loss.  He took surgery and recovery like a champ!  We're beyond blessed with these two children.

Copy and paste to see one of Kailer's wrestling pins!

Our Little Grappler

This post was on Dan's Facebook page.  His pride shines through and I wanted to share it with those who do not spend time on social media!

I am one proud daddy today. My little man had his first ever wrestling tournament. He lost his first match but lasted all three rounds and then went on to win his second match 12-1 and pin his opponent for the third place win in his last match! Such an amazing feeling to experience your son's first wrestling match, his first win and his first pin all in one day!

This was our conversation tonight as we were waiting for practice to start:

Me: Kailer, how are your muscles, are they growing?
Kailer: No
Me: Why not?
Kailer: I don't know....I just need someone to beat me up and then I'll get stronger!

Dr. Seuss Week!

Once again, credit to Kailer's teacher for having pictures for me to post ....

Oobleck!
