My poor sweet boy!!! Believe it or not...this looks better! On the 4th of July we went to church, were hanging out as a family and had just set off some fireworks in the front yard. All in all...a pretty great day. Greg and I were starting to pick up the debris from all the fireworks when the boys asked if they could go to the park and play "ghost in the graveyard" with a bunch of the neighborhood kids. It's a little after ten at this point and so we tell them they can go, but they only have five minutes. Well, a lot can happen in five minutes! All the kids had flashlights and Wyatt needed one, so Greg let him use the one in his patrol car. You know the one....the big, heavy one that looks like a club that they blind you with when asking for your registration ;) Anyway, Wyatt runs off with that one and my final words were "just don't hit anyone with that thing"....I thought that was good advice :) There were kids of all ages running around in the dark and I guess one of the older boys in the neighborhood didn't see Wyatt and pretty much blindsided him. As he was falling to the ground, that big "club" in his hand came up and slammed him in the face and then he hit the ground. Poor thing, huh!! He has been such a trooper about it though, repeatedly telling me that he can see perfectly fine even when his eye is mostly swollen shut. So this boy has gotten a lot of hugs and kisses this week because I can't seem to look at him without my heart hurting and maybe one of these hugs will magically heal it. So add to your list of things not to run with: big club-like flashlights (especially in the dark!)
