First visit to the pediatric orthopedist
Kailey fell over the weekend off her slide. She has been complaining a little of a sore arm. Just to be safe, we had our pediatrician look at her. The X-ray revealed a fracture in her left forearm of the ulna and radius. We are going to see a pediatric orthopedist for treatment. She is taking all of this very well. I think her biggest concern was that she would be admitted to the hospital. More to come.......

Trip to the zoo
After a difficult week at work, things settled down on Friday and Houston had some great weather. I took the afternoon off and went to the zoo with the whole family. This was Jake's first trip to the zoo.
The pictures are posted below, but if you want to take a look on Flickr, the link is: http://www.flickr.com/photos/michaelandshelli/sets/72157625657533273/detail/

| The kids, just inside the zoo. |
 |
| New rhino exhibit. |
 |
| New chimp exhibit |

 |
| While this elephant is clearly named "Hans", with excitement, Kailey yelled, "Dad, come take my picture with me and Gumbo the Elephant" |
 |
| Reptile house |
 |
| The girls in the fish tube. This is the only photographic evidence of me being at the zoo...my reflection is in the glass. |
 |
| No camera tricks...Jake is that big compared to Kailey. |
 |
| Happy mom |
 |
| This is the first fit that Kailey had, after being told that Shelli AND Jake would be in the picture with her. She wanted only pictures of herself and her little brother. |
 |
| After the fit, Kailey slowed warmed up to the idea of a group picture. |
 |
| Flamingo habitat |
 |
| Pelican |
 |
| Same pelican |
 |
| All smiles and Jake is awake...almost time to go. |
 |
| By the time Shelli wanted to take a picture of the kids to put on Facebook, Kailey had decided to work on her sarcastic smile. |
 |
| Jake, however, is perfecting the basic smile....has not picked up his sister's sarcastic smile. |
 |
| This was Kailey's final protest she waged for not getting her way. Rather than looking at the cheetahs, to the right, she sat against a wall facing the fence. |

Jake has started smiling....and laughing, a little. As soon as I get a good picture, I'll post it.
Kailey is working on her vocabulary. The other day, we asked if she would like a grilled cheese sandwich. This is then what happened between Kailey and Shelli:
S: I am going to have one, do you want one?
K: one what?
S: grilled cheese sandwich
K: ya, but that is not what they are called
S: really? then what are they called
K: girls' cheese sand itch
S: no they aren't, it is a grilled cheese sandwich
K: no it is not. MOM, look at me [puts a hand on either side of Shelli's face]
K: you have to repeat after me
S: ok
K: girls
S: girls
K: cheese
S: cheese
K: sand
S: sand
K: itch
S: itch
K: yes, very good... see, that was not too hard.
(yes, she did get her food)
