Oh man, this sucks

Hi guys, it’s me Malachi. Me and Obadiah were running laps around the house the other night and banged into each other pretty hard. When we landed on the ground, Obadiah somehow landed on top of me. It hurt really bad!!!

Daddy and Mommy weren’t sure if it was broken. They took me to the doctor and he said he didn’t think so. After walking on it a few more days it started hurting really bad, and making me walk funny. Mommy decided to see a different doctor and get an X-Ray.
It’s official… my first broken bone. The one in your foot that connects the ankle to the big toe… That’s the one. So I’ve got a cast on, and that’s kind of cool. I call it my "boot". No one messes with me anymore. I just act like I’m going to kick and they back right down. And I’ve been getting sympathy kisses like crazy. The little girls in the nursery are like putty in my hands. I guess having a broken foot has it’s advantages.

I’m so excited!!!

Daddy and Mommy told me today that we were going to the toy store to buy me my first bike! I can’t believe it! We went to Toy’s R Us and looked around at the bikes. I checked out a bunch of different models and colors and decided on the green one that had a sticker on it that said, “PainKiller”. I’m pretty sure that means that it won’t hurt if I crash, so that’s good!

So we headed back to the house, found my helmet and then Dad and I went for a ride. This bike is SWEET!!! I’m especially pleased with a special feature that the PainKiller has… AN EXTRA SET OF WHEELS!!! No kidding… On either side of the one in back! Isn’t that killer?!?!

Here I am about 10 seconds into my first ride!!! You know what happened about 15 seconds into my first ride??? My FIRST CRASH. You remember what I said about PainKiller means it won’t hurt? Not so much. It kinda hurt. But anyway, Dad and I went on a nice long ride. I caught one really long gradual downhill and I laughed so hard! On my way down the hill I screamed at the top of my lungs, “LIFE IS GOOD!!! (true) That was right before I got my first flat tire (also true). Oh well. That’s enough firsts’ for one day. I’m exhausted, I’ve gotta go take a nap.

I made it to the TOP!!!

Here I am, I'm almost to the top. I've had a hard tome reaching the ropes, but I'm 4 1/2 now and I'm getting pretty big. My cousins Hannah and Summer can make it to the top, so I really wanted to see if I could do it.


YESSS!!!! I MADE IT!!! That's right, I made it. That's a big thumbs up from the top of the tower!!!


Daddy keeps making me laugh and it's hard to hold on at the top! Stop it Dad!!! He climbed up to show me how I could make it back down. I did it all by myself.
