Michael's Birthday Party

Michael will be turning 3 tomorrow! Time has really flown by! We had a Birthday Party for him on Saturday with Family and he had a great time. Michael keeps asking when all his family can come over again... While he was opening presents, his cousin, Sophia (who is 2) kept coming up to him saying wow! Michael got so mad at her and yelled "Go back Sophie! Go back!" We all had a good laugh!

I made an adorable monkey cake for him- yes I really did make it! It was a lot of fun and by far my favorite cake that I have ever made for him! When it cake time to dig into it, he wouldn't. He didn't want to get his hands dirty! So, he used a spoon and a fork! What a funny boy!

We had a great time! Thank you everyone for your love and support and for the gifts that Michael got! He loves them!

POP!-ular Teacher Valentine

Here is the Valentines that I made for Michael's Terrific Tot's teachers. I also got the idea from FamilyFun.com. They turned out really cute!

Love Bugs

Michael needed to make some Valentines for his Terrific Tot's class, so I looked around and we found these way cute little valentines. They are made out of Michael's favorite candy- Smarties! We had a lot of fun making them. I used two different phrases on the back of them- "I don't mean to bug you, but will you be my Valentine" & "Just buzzing by to say Happy Valentines Day!"

They turned out really cute!

Physical Therapy

I had my first session of Physical Therapy this morning. Unfortunately my foot is going to hurt worse before it gets better. My Dr poked and prodded first, which my foot as already hurting after that. Then as a warm up, I rode the bike for 8 minutes, then did easy leg presses to get the rotation of my ankle. That burned so bad! He asked me after the exercise how it felt and I told him that it felt like my foot was on fire. He said that is a sign of inflammation. So, we stopped there. Then an ultrasound was done, then I got hooked up to electrodes with ice for about 15 minutes or more, then was released. I get to go back on Friday. I have to go in three times a week for a while until it is better. It sucks because this is going to cost me a lot of money... Oh well, the price you pay for health!

Birthday Chain Countdown

Just about every day, Michael says it's his birthday because he is so excited about it. His birthday is February 17th, so he has a couple week's to go. Today, we made a birthday chain countdown so every day he gets to cut one of the links off until his birthday. He is so excited about the idea.

Finally some answers!

You all know that I have been dealing with a bummed foot for months now! I finally found out what is going on. I had an MRI done last week and got the results this morning. I have a chronic sprain in one of my ligaments and also a small amount of arthritis. I have to go to physical therapy now. Can I just tell you how excited I am about that?! NOT REALLY! But, anything to make the pain go away, I will do. I am just so grateful that I finally have some answers and can finally get over this!
