More To Come

Yesterday was the first day the boys have been able to play in the backyard. We have had a constant pile of snow since November but with the warm weather this week, it FINALLY melted! I was so thrilled to be able to send them outside to play and not have to watch their every move. I was getting dinner ready while they played in the leftover snow/ice, mud and water. I glanced up and saw Manti walking down the cement steps like a big boy and thought to myself "oh that is just an accident waiting to happen." Sure enough not a minute later, I heard the screams and crying. I ran out to the back door and saw my poor little boy and his bloody face. He is so tough though, he only cried for a minute and then I asked him, "Can mommy clean your nose?"...."Yep." I sat him on the counter and cleaned off his nose, lip and mouth then said, "Okay, now can mommy put medicine on it?"..."Yep." He sat there the whole time and did not fight me at all! What a brave little boy. He however did not want to go back outside. He watched Chuggington for a little bit then went to the back door and watched Sebastien play.

This was taken after I had started to clean him up.

This one is from today. Already starting to scab over but still looks bad.

He is still so handsome.

I know this is just a sign of the many scrapes, bumps and bruises to come. My boys play rough and I know this is going to be an eventful summer. I am hoping that we can at least stay out of the E.R.
