Stitches!

For the first time in his life....Lance got stitches.
Is anyone else surprised that this is a first for him? ;)

I happened to pick a great day to watch rehearsals!

I was watching Lance as the cast ran through the tramp wall act. I knew something was off when Lance stopped dancing/jumping and stood on top of the tramp wall wiping at his head. Then he climbed down off the structure and disappeared. That isn't like Lance to just quit in the middle of something important!

There was a slight bit of confusion as everyone was trying to figure out where Lance had disappeared to and what had happened. A boat was sent out to the structure to retrieve Lance. It turned out Lance had hit his head on a new prop that was placed on the wall.

Because I was there, I got to go in the "employee only" section of Sea World (woo hoo!) to check on him. (It wasn't as exciting to go "behind the scenes" as I had anticipated it to be....but at least my curiosity was satisfied.)

Anyway! Lance had a big gash on his forehead. We took him to the doctor and he got 12 stitches.

Harry Potter?

The best part of the day was that we all got a free dinner! The cast of Cirque de la Mer was treated to dinner by the head honcho of World Entertainment at Souplantion...and because I happened to be around that day, I got free food too! :)

Cirque de la Mer Rehearsal

11 Months Old!

Jade is 11 months old today!

I think we might have another acrobat in the family. Jade loves somersaults. She giggles whenever one of us does a somersault and then she makes us giggle as she attempts to do one herself.
You can see a video of her here: Jade's Somersault

During the past month, we had been staying at my parents' house, which gave us an opportunity to teach Jade how to climb up and down the stairs. It was fun to teach her a new skill.

Jade loves books. Her favorites are Good Night Moon and Hand, Hand, Fingers, Thumb. She loves to point at the pictures and "read" to us. She enjoys feeding herself and those around her, loves bath time, is fascinated by the toilet and imitates everything we do.
