Well, little Joe just could not resist my little seedlings. I think the fresh dirt and tempting green baby plants was just too much to resist! This is the second time he has gotten into my seedlings (the first being a sweet potato which he dug up and it has never recovered :() It was hard to be angry though, he just didn't seem to really understand what he had done wrong. Sigh. Oh the joy of little boys!
Such a good boy! It is such a blessing when children do things without being asked.
The boys were playing in Jacob's room yesterday when I suddenly heard a loud commotion and Joshua's screams. I ran to see what had happened. He had pulled so hard on the blind's cord that it yanked the top molding off of the window, which of course hit him right in the head! He had a huge blue knot and of course I was in a panic. I held a cold pack on it for as long as he would let me, and then as is our tradition I let him hold "frosty bear". I went on to fix lunch, turned around and realized that he had bitten a hole in frosty bear and there was blue goo everywhere. Again I started to panic because I had heard that the goo inside of those things is poisonous.
*Big Sigh of Relief* Turns out he really didn't eat the blue goo, and twenty four hours later all is well. He still has a knot but not nearly as large or blue as it was yesterday.
When I asked him what had happened to his head he said, "Joshie bonked". We hear those words quite a bit around here. I suppose it is part of being the mother of little boys.
