November Montage

Here are some assorted pictures of fun in November

Playing in the leaves.

Getting ready to blow some bubbles!

Reading the Lego catalog. A new favorite (seriously! It has pictures of trains, fire trucks, planes, helicopters, and dragons!)

Asleep with frogs.

Rites of Passage

Quentin got his first stitches on Tuesday evening!

Here's how it happened:

Quentin was running out of Mommy and Daddy's Room (most likely planning on running To Rest of House). He caught his right foot on the Book Case, and went flying into the Point of Impact. From there, we went directly to The Hospital (illustration below).

Fortunately, there happens to be a brand new (just opened in late September) state-of-the-art Children's Hospital right around the corner from us (literally). Everybody was very nice and, as emergency room visits go, it was not so bad. Quentin said "hi" and "bye" to several people (something he doesn't usually do), and except for the parts where people were interfering with his play (like binding him up and sewing his forehead), he had an OK time. Fortunately, he was holding his toy bus when the accident occurred, and wouldn't let go of it until after we got to the hospital, so he had something to keep him occupied while we waited. He ended up with a total of 7 stitches, and one new toy fire truck the next day.
