Ouch!

So, as I have mentioned before this little guy has the ability to find trouble every day. Seriously, I am reminded how he requires 100% of adult supervision. So Sunday night we were having a little family get together at my sisters house. The kids were off playing, running, and screaming around the house. The adults were in the front room just talking. Caleb came screaming into the room holding his hand. I thought he had been shut out of the girls room, because they generally don't like him playing in there with him. Well, after several tears and him being very persistent to show me what the matter was. I followed him to where he was playing. I tried to turn the light on, it didn't work. I then noticed he was heading for an iron on the floor. I grabbed it quickly, and realized he had plugged it in...AHHH, yes it was HOT! I then grabbed him and looked at his hand...yes, he got himself! AHHH Again, this little dude has the ability to turn any situation upside down. Instantly I was sick to my stomach realizing how bad it could have been. Thankfully, the inside of his little hand was the only portion of his body that got burned. We emerged his hand in cold water for the rest of the night. It instantly blistered. He was so uncomfortable, we gave him some Tylenol. Anyways, we have to bandage it and put Neosporin on it. He's being a good trooper about it. I am so thankful that he wasn't hurt more than he could have been! The amazing part about this kid is that my sister had her iron in her closet. She found it in there, found a plug that didn't have a kid protector plug in it and turned it on. Seriously! Just to ease all of your minds, our house has plug protectors in all spots! I think requires an extra pair of eyes at all times!!!
