Once again, we spent most of our day at the University hospital. Mike and I and Gabe took Joel and Timmy with us. Ella and Timmy are now scheduled for ear tubes tomorrow morning! We'll need to be there early. Joel needs his tonsils and adenoids out but we have to talk with his cardiologist about that first because Joel is on blood thinners for his artificial heart valve.
As we finally got into the elevator to the parking garage (after 5 1/2 hours in the hospital at various stages of pre-op)there were two other ladies with us, talking about a cell-phone conversation. Joel walked up to them and smiling sweetly said, "Excuse me. Excuse me!" The ladies smiled back and said, "Yes?" and Joel said, "That is dumb!"
Of course we were surprised and embarrassed and everybody laughed (shouldn't have!)-- I didn't even know he knew that word! What movie is that in? He'd just seen the last half of "Madagascar" in a waiting room, is it in there? We told him, "Joel, Excuse me is nice (we taught him that) but dumb is not nice." We just don't know what he's going to say next. He's putting sentences together pretty well these days!
I guess Family Home Evening was really last night when we had the birthday party. :o)
