Our little Jesse is doing fantabulous! We were told that he completely freaked out when he came out of surgery, so the nurses calmed him down with some apple juice before coming to get us. That kind of peeved me, as I wanted to feed him myself, but as soon as I had him in my arms, he settled right down and fell asleep within a couple of minutes, anyway. He was in some pretty significant pain, so they gave him a nice little coctail of morphine and something like oxycotin. Needless to say, he was very loopy and out of it for the entire rest of the day. He had a great night - only waking up when his medicine wore off. And this morning, he is pretty much back to himself! His face is already all scratched and bruised because of bonking himself with his cast so many times, but he isn't fazed in the least!
We had a pretty low key morning at home, but then after Jesse's morning nap, we decided to head out to one of our fave parks for some swinging, sliding, kite flying, bug catching, and froggin'! We convinced Kaden to let his wee salamaders have their freedom, so now his aquarium is free to house some new "treasures" that we may find on our adventures in future days!
In other news, we have now acquired six fuzzy little army worms that we found crawling all over the outside of our apartment and sidewalk the other day. Four have cocooned themselves away already, so we shall see what becomes of them! (I never knew that they did that). And some of our tadpoles are now growing back legs. Let the good times roll!
Update: As of 7:00p.m. this evening, upon checking on our baby tadpoles, they seem to have all disappeared but one! There's a family of baby groundhogs in our backyard, and methinks they have been feasting upon our froglets. Kaden says: "Ah well. We'll just get more. At least we made the groundhogs happy." I guess he was none too attached. Poor things. They never stood a chance!
