GUS IS FINE, DON’T WORRY.
Monday, May 19th, 2008Here is the berry in question:
This dried cranberry spent the better part of two hours lodged in The Gus’s nasal cavity this morning, perilously close to his brain. It finally was removed without damage (to The Gus or The Berry), but it required medical intervention, in the form of a kindly pediatrician with a set of Extra Long Tweezers For Removing Objects From the Noses of Toddlers.
The Gus was brave and stoic throughout, and was very still when he was asked to be so. We think he is about the Best Kid Ever.
It was early spring last week, late in coming, so we made up for it by skipping straight over late spring and early summer. Midsummer arrived on May 14 this year, and we got out the kiddie pool. If you overspend on a vinyl pool, it turns out that you get all the bells and whistles: an inflatable slide, basketball hoop, and sprinkling-arch (no better bunch of words describes this bizarre architecture). This combination renders The Gus almost catatonic with joy, and in the past four days he has spent perhaps fifteen hours in the pool. So here are pictures:
