Poor Kai Wei!

Recently the boys have begun to enjoy playing soccer. The other evening at dinner Kai asked if I would play with him and Daniel in the yard. When I said maybe, Kai Wei said, "Don't say maybe or you will make your little brothers sad". How can you say no to that? I went out and played soccer with them.

A few evenings later, Kai Wei was out playing in the yard with my Dad and brothers and the ball hit him right in the face. His vision was blurry, so they took an emergency visit to the eye doctors, who recommended visiting a retinal specialist the next day. Fortunately Kai Wei didn't tear his retina (which is what the eye doctor was afraid of at first), but he did bruise it and just to be on the safe side, the doctor said no active play for Kai for 2 weeks. No more gym, recess, flag football, or even playing in the yard. Poor kid. Two weeks seems like a long time when you're 11. The good thing is though that his vision is fine and he doesn't need to be on bed rest for the next 2 weeks. Apparently that's what they advise if you actually tear your retina. Can you imagine an trying to confine an 11 year old limited English speaker to bed rest for 2 weeks?

The pictures are from the other week when the cousins came over for tacos, ice cream and movies while our parents went out with our grandparents.
