Boys will be BOYS...



Raising Weston is SO different from Ashlyn, about 2 weeks after he turned a year old we were at the Dirt Bike Track and I put both kids in the back of Blake's brothers truck to walk around (I didn't bring shoes for Weston and he'd been wanting to walk all night) I was changing Ashlyn's clothes and looked out of the corner of my eye to see Weston climbing over the side of the bed of the truck and I ran so fast to grab him and was screaming "oh my gosh" over and over kinda loud - but I couldn't get there fast enough, he hit the dirt with his head and rolled down his shoulder and back, we didn't see any blood - just a terrified little guy (and mama). We took him to the ER because he started vomiting within 15 minutes of falling and they did a CT scan to make sure there wasn't an internal injury - All checked out well and we were so grateful.
Then last weekend Weston was climbing up and down my brothers tile steps (he's a good stair climber) and when we were about to leave, he fell into the steps and punctured above his eye - it was bleeding but it didn't look as bad as some I've seen... so I took him to Urgent Care and was hoping they had some medical glue to seal it up so it would heal nicely. Now we are just waiting for the glue to dissolve. **Boys are so much more rough than girls and in his 1 year of life he's had about as many injuries as I have.


(The red stripe across his forehead is from his band-aide we took off)
I'm still jealous of his eyelashes!

Im glad hes okay. Head injuries are so scary....Sounds like my kids! It doesnt get any better the older they get. It seems like we are on a frist name basis at the ER.

Gotta love em! Somehow we have avoided any serious injuries but we have had our fair share of cuts, burns, bruises, scrapes and bumps! It's amazing they make it through childhood!
