Meanwhile, tomorrow I will be taking Eli to the doctor. At his soccer game on Saturday he was goofing around with friends while on the sidelines, climbed a goal post, fell, smacked his foot, and ceased to be able to walk. Of course, I was tending to Sadie at the moment and missed seeing the event. We thought his foot was getting better, but it's now quite swollen and bruised and Eli thinks he might have a "hair fraction." I concur. We shall see what the x-ray and the doctor say. Eli was lamenting his predicament this evening. When I suggested that climbing the goal post might not have been the brightest of ideas, Eli responded with a very resigned, "I know. I'm the example. Now my friends will know not to do that." He didn't really like it when I burst into hysterics after that. Guess you have to be pain-free (or at least older than six) to find that funny.

You're gonna have to toughen up there, Mom. I have a collection of those question-and-answer sheets now-- at least two per kid. Madeline's and Sophie's are startlingly accurate, from my age to my favorite food. Baxter was unclear at four about what I did while he was at preschool: "She watches TV and eats." This, when I worked out four days a week! Harumph.
Sophie's this year featured the question, "Why did your mommy marry your daddy?"
"He's smart, and he's funny."
That's right, Soph! You nailed it.
Aww. That is such a sweet little sheet! And giant hugs to Eli and that potential fracture! Hope all goes well in that department. Ash had a couple fractures in his wrist just before he turned 3 (yeah...there's a story there). I felt horrible that I'd sat just rocking him for like an hour before we decided something might actually be broken. Fortunately, little kids heal super quick. :)
Aw, I feel so sorry for him! And yes, you were right, their answers were eerily similar. But we already knew that our parents separated us at birth. ;)
Poor Eli. I'm actually cracking up right now because I was going to write something about us being separated a birth but I see Sarah beat me too it. LOL!!
