Boys and thier TOYS!

Today was an eventful day. After a great night of 5 hours of sleep and our usual morning schedule, I had Bryston safely off to preschool. I came home and sat down to feed this precious baby girl. I was feeling great having had so much sleep that I had a plan to get some house work done. I put baby girl down on the floor for some play time and headed to the laundry room. I hadn't walked 3 feet when my phone rang (ring ring). I look at the caller ID and see it's from Bryston's preschool. (I'm thinking, he didn't have a fever and he hasn't been sick, I just left there 30 minutes ago) "Hello" I said "Raina, Bryston has fallen and busted his eye, I need you to come look at it to see if you think he needs to come to the doctor" said his preschool teacher.
Look closely at these wonderful Legos. Do you see the four perfect circles on the square blocks?

This is what racing to clean up and falling will do. If you look closely you will see a circle on his eyebrow and then one at the corner of his eye. This is after the swelling had gone down and the blood had been cleaned away. Of course our pediatrician had no openings, so, off I go to take him to the doctor at a walk in in RSV season (see first pic). I took him to the doctor because my precious boy has had eye surgery on both eyes and he is very sensitive to light. Thankfully the perfect circle of the block didn't not do a cookie cutter job. It was close. Thank you Jesus for watching over my boy and keeping that block from his eye. Boys and their TOYS!

"Me and these are going night night."

As a mommy we can't wait to teach our children. We start off by saying things like "Where are your eyes (he points) good boy! Can you find your ears (he points) there they are, very good!" Ever think about the body parts that we skip or forget? On Saturdays and Sundays my son wakes up his daddy. And on his daddy he discovered a similarity to him (chest area). He asked me "Mommy, what are these" I'm thinking 'what should we call these' so I said "honey, those are your nipples" Yes I said nipples. I couldn't think of anything else appropriate to call them. Well, in true boy fashion, he loved this new word. And what do we do with new words? We say them over and over and over. (I've created a monster) Finally, I told him that we couldn't use this word all the time, it's just not appropriate and doesn't sound nice. So, this past Tuesday I had him getting in his jammies while I was feeding his sister. He was standing next to my chair and down to his underwear when he looked at his chest and then gave me the eye (you know the one that says, I'm fixing to do or say something I know I'm not supposed to) and he got the eye right back from me (the one that says 'you know better') so, he changed his mind. While looking at his chest and with a sly grin he instead said "Me and these are going night night" meanwhile in case I didn't understand he was pointing to them. Oh yes, boys are fun. I just tucked my lips between my teeth and turned my head. I could barely contain the laughter building up inside of me. Boys will be boys.
