Shoulders, Teeth and Ears

Isabelle's clavicle is all healed now! She went to the Drs a few days ago, and was pronounced re-joined.



Callum lost two more teeth this week. The bottom one cam out a few days ago, and the top one tonight. I may have helped both in their final stages... Lets see what the tooth fairy brings this time! Going rate seems to be $2! (You can see his metal spacers nicely in this picture too!) School starts in about 3 weeks now, so he is getting ready. Uniform has been purchased, new back-pack. He is so big!



And Lexie needs ear tubes :-( She has had another round of otitis media, her 6th in about 10 months. We go on Aug 1st. Should be a quick operation (5 mins). She will need an anesthetic, but the Doc said she will be up and running around a few hours after. He said everything probably sounds to her like she is underwater now, which could affect speech development etc later.

Zoo Camp and Belle's arm

Callum had zoo camp this week. Seemed to go well - each day, they got to tour a different part of the zoo, and a keeper would bring an animal into their classroom. One day they had a ball python, another, a tiger salamander. Right up Cal's street.



One day, I took the girls to try and find him. We didn't see him, but we did get to ride the little train. Belle's clavicle is doing so much better now. She isn't wearing the brace at all.

Happy Birthday Callum!

Happy 7th birthday, Callum!



Callum's main present was a new bike. He had totally outgrown his old one, so he got a new 20-inch BMX-style one. A Huffy Phazer. He can only just touch the ground when the saddle is all the way down, but he should grow into it! Its been too hot to ride it though, so we have been doing lots of swimming instead.



His party was a blast. We had four of his closest friends over for a sleep-over. They did pretty well actually, and we all got some sleep. Presents, of course, we greatly appreciated!
