David's Many Adventures

Having four active, little boys is an adventure.
One of our most adventurous spirits is David. He is five years old,
loves people, learning, music, art and sports and never
stops moving. Recently he has developed a love for
designing things. He loves to get involved in my latest crafty idea.
Recently when I was doing a project he asked what he could do.
I tossed him some scrapbooking supplies and
this is what he came up with all by himself:

I love this!
The "S" is for Sara and the "D" is for David. On the project
below I helped him only with the stitching on these letters.

David loves people, so I was surprised when he put up a huge fight
to go to the rest home to sing songs to old people for playgroup.
Fortunately, when we got there he fell in love with some precious
old ladies who were thrilled to have a sweet little kindergartner
telling them all about his class, sharing his artwork with them and
even giving them a hug and a kiss before he left. He has been
begging us to go back to the rest home ever since, especially
since I explained to him that those people there won't be
alive for too much longer. ( I wish so bad I had taken
my camera with me there).
David is so active, I get tired just watching him sometimes.
He is the guy to send on an errand in the neighborhood or to fetch
things for you around the house. A few weeks ago he wanted me to
take some "action shots" of him in his homemade BYU football jersey.

Last Friday David Broke a bone between his foot and leg.
It happened as he was trying to retrieve a basketball from
a two-tiered chair holder at the church. No one that was there
that night could believe he had broken a bone; he was completely
calm about the whole thing. The only real sign that he was in pain
is that he didn't want to walk on that leg.
He chose a Blue cast to show his cougar pride.

All day Saturday after he got his cast put on he couldn't put
pressure on that leg without collapsing. By the next day he was
walking on it and now he runs on it. Despite the awkward angle of the
cast, he has even figured out how to ride a bike! Today he asked me if he
could skateboard to a friend's house-not wanting another broken leg,
that is where I drew the line.

Now that David has a bad leg and a missing tooth
(that was taken out after an accident when he was a baby),
he is looking more and more like "Tiny Tim".
Stay tuned, I am sure that we will have many
more adventures to come with this one.
