I am so proud of Alex, he knows most of his colours and shapes also can count too 4 :) Next year he start kinder.
Today i wanted to share Alex's latest accident, he decided to add a scar on his hand to the collection of the 2 on his head. Over the weekend we where at a friends 30th, im not 100% sure what happened as i was feeding our 9 month old and daddy said it happened so fast his not sure but he thinks he tripped and using the bon fire to catch himself :(
ok more details on photos
pic 1- about an hour after he burnt it (day1)
pic2- the next morning (day 2)
pic 3- the same day as pic 2 but at lunch time when the blister started to form (day2)
pic4- morning just before i wrapped it (day 3)
pic5- at the doctors before they drained it and changed his dressing(day 3)
you cant see from the photo angle but the blister was easily double the size of day 2
pic6- nighttime taken during his bath before it was dressed again. (day4)
today is day 5 but its looks the same as day 4 at the moment besides the fast the loss skin on top is broken a little
I think its healing well but i do think he will have a scar :( its his right hand that he eats and does most things with so its making life hard for him having it wrapped and we had to miss swimming yesterday as he couldnt swim with it, he was very sad about that.
Time for this mummy to head to bed as on top of alex and his hand our youngest has bronchitis

Christmas is fast approaching, its crazy how fast this year has gone. Its been a big year and alot has happened but this is not my end of the year post just yet.
ok so back in August just after Alex's birthday i mentioned a few things that had happened that i wanted to post about one of them at this moment has slipped my mind but the big one was the DENTIST trip, its been a couple of months now so ill do my best to remember what i can. It was a Saturday and just after Alex's morning snack he started screaming, it was a pain cry i could tell straight away, i asked him what was wrong and he told me it was his tooth.
Straight away i was on the phone calling the dentist, the public dentist is closed on a sat so the private it was, so lucky they could squeeze him in. His been to the dentist before so when we got there he wasn't worried and happily got into the chair, she instantly spotted the trouble tooth, one of his molars has a big whole going all the way to his nerve. I really don't understand why this would happen we brushes his teeth twice a day or i should say we do his getting better but still needs some help for a good clean. Anyway back to the day, so she warned him of some little bits (the numbing needle) he was perfect through this part flinched a little when it went it, rinsed his mouth out and laid back down for the next injection. Off the dentist went to do something else while it went numb as they do.
Here comes the bad part, as soon as that drill hit his tooth he went nuts, screaming in pain (even tho the dentist kept telling me she used extra there's noway he could feel anything) tossing himself about and yelling my name, i felt so bad but he was in so much pain earlier we needed to try and help him, they stopped we calmed him down explained what was going to happen and we tried again and again and again, three of us couldn't hold my little 15kg boy down, i can not believe the strength he had, Im almost positive he was feeling something (i know that when i had a whole in my tooth through to the nerve i could still feel something but being an adult i got over it)
They tried a few of there tricks, from getting me to leave the room and saying i wouldnt come back till he laid down to bribing him, nothing worked. in the end they managed a very old style of temp filing in, but didn't even get to put the medichine in to help the nerve pain or drill the whole fully.
Now we have to get him put under for a filling, hopefully this is happening in the next few months in the public system before the temp falls out on him.
It was certainly a horrible day for Alex and i, tears all round but thank fully it got fixed just enough to stop the pain for him. Melissa
