Another Vincent story

So Vincent had surgery last week to put tubes into his ears again. He did extremely well with it all, and his recovery from the anesthesia was much better than last time, thank goodness.

Last time, he was truly pitiful laying there in the recovery room, all confused as he was dozing and snuggling with the new Webkinz toy we had brought for him. Expecting something like that again, we picked up another new toy for this time, a Webkinz Lava Dragon. He was sitting up, smiling and watching the television in the recovery room as we came back after his surgery, and he was practically wrestling with Simon in the bed before he was released.

He did enjoy his new Lava Dragon, though, and has been having fun playing with the newly christened Fire Breath. Saturday morning, I was walking through the upstairs hallway when he suddenly threw Fire Breath right at me, hard. I tossed the dragon back, and Vincent did it again. Wondering why on earth he was throwing things at me, I asked him about it. His answer?

"Oh, I'm giving Fire Breath flying lessons."

I love the way this child's mind works!
