cHRISTIAN GOT STITCHES!!

So Christian was chasing our new kitten thursday night and fell in the corner of the wall or around that area (not sure wasn't there), he ended up spliting his forehead open. Josh had put a bandaid on it to try to help the bleeding to slow down, when I got home I took the bandaid off for a very quick glance and noticed it was a gash. I took him to the ER and called my mom to come up because I wan't sure if I could handle this on my own- I was so nervous. When we got in to see the doctor and for them to take a look at the cut it was deeper than I had realized. I immediately started crying and the nurse started yelling at me to stop and be strong for christian. My mom said "she had no idea how deep it was." And I tried explaining that I'm pregnant and my emotions are all wacked out. I was a blubbering fool I'm so glad my mother was there. The cut was deep enough to see the meaty part under your skin. Christian ended up getting three stitches but the doctor said it can take up to six months for it to heal. WOW! For all of you parents out there, kudos for being able to keep strong and a good composer for your children. I definately need a class on this!!

Dishes, laundry and making brownies!!

So I never thought that my two year old would want to help out around the house this much. Christian is very good about making sure that he's around when it's time to do the dishes so he can rinse them. And if he see's me taking the laundry basket anywhere he says, ' I help momma"? I feel like I'm putting him to work but he enjoys helping so I don't make it into a big deal, he's just growing up to fast. Yesterday, he wanted to help make the brownies for after dinner, which I thought was a nice little project for us to do together. But, this "helping" has been going on since the beginning of the week and sometimes he really slows me down rather than helping, so how do I keep him from wanting to do this every night?
