Thanksgiving Prep

Today we spent a lot of time in the kitchen. We made stuffing, cranberry sauce, and the pumpkin pie is still in the oven. 

The picture is of Nico helping me sort through cranberries. He ate a few and puckered up from the sourness. While making the pumpkin pie he also enjoyed eating lemon zest and licking the measuring spoon after every spice we added. 

We went for a walk tonight after Guy left for work, he is still limping a tad.

Toddler Open Gym

If you remember from last winter, we often went to Toddler Open Gym at the Fort Boise Community Center. Well, they have started it up again for this winter, and we went today! We met friends there, Tricia and one year old Brynnlynn.

Nico discovered basketball! I'm not sure where he had ever seen it before, or if Guy has shown him how, or if he just discovered it on his own, but he took the basketball and lifted it up over his head to put it through the hoop. Over and over again!

Still has a bit of a limp!

Ankle Update

No picture for today, but wanted to give an ankle update. We went to the chiropractor this afternoon and he tested out Nico's ankle and found that it was out of place (not out of socket, just out of place), so he popped it back in for him. Nico could walk much better afterward, but he still has a tiny limp.

Ankle

Went to church this morning after stopping by the Co-op to get some bananas. Our after church snack on the way home is bananas and cheese, and we were out of bananas!

After Nico's nap, we were playing in his room and I was helping him do a backwards somersault. When he came down on his legs, I heard a loud POP and Nico started crying. I was afraid he had a broken bone, but he was moving around okay, so I think it is just a strain. He isn't able to walk on it, though. I went and bought an ace bandage to stabilize it, and Guy pulled out an ice pack for a while to try to ice it. We also used homeopathic Arnica 30c by mouth and Arnica Gel on his ankle.

We hung out on the bed (not much different than usual), but I DID make him some cupcakes. You can see we put a sock over his ace bandage so that he wouldn't try to pull it off.
