Tis the Season...

for bonks on the head. Yesterday was challenging. The boy didn't nap, and when I let him get up, he was in a mood to be naughty. So naughty, in fact, that he decided it would be a good idea to throw a wooden train from the second floor to the first floor, which happened to hit the baby on the head on the way down. Needless to say, I was Not Happy. So the baby starts screaming his head off, the boy looks at me like "what did I do?" and I'm a little freaked because it hit the baby's head and he is now sporting a Rather Large Goose Egg. I called our pediatrician to see what, if anything, I should do, and called my husband in near hysterics. He calmed me down while I was waiting for the doctor to call back, during which time the baby calmed down too. The doctor said not to worry and told us what to watch for if there was a problem, but the baby seemed fine by the time she called me back and she thought he would be fine. It's a miracle siblings live to their second birthday, is all I can say.

My husband and I were supposed to go to an Anonymous 4 concert in the evening, and I was tempted to call the whole thing off, but the boys seemed fine by 6:00, and Boo's godparents were coming to stay with them for the evening, and I knew they would be in good hands. Plus I knew that the mental break would be good for me. Unfortunately, just as we were about to leave, Piglet hit his head on the floor while roughhousing with Boo's godfather. So more tears. I got him settled down and then we left before anything else could happen! I'm very glad we went. It was a lovely concert of medieval Christmas carols, with a great venue at one of the local historic churches.

This morning my husband took the boy to the zoo and this afternoon we have to divide and conquer as we were invited to two different events at the same time. So hubby is taking the baby and I'm taking the boy. Tomorrow we are going to hear Messiah, which I love, love, love. So today's card will be a quick one! I made this baby card a while back without having a specific recipient in mind, but was glad to have it on hand this week when one of our friends had a baby boy! My hands are terribly chapped right now and I'm having trouble working my paper cutter, so instead of making baby thank you cards by hand, I made a bunch in MDS. I'll post them when the physical cards arrive, okay?

  1. Sorry to hear about the head bonking. love the new picture you posted!

    We might see you at that concert tomorrow! We haven't bought tix yet though, so I'm not 100% sure, but we are planning on buying them later today.

  2. I LOVE that baby card! Gorgeous colors & layout! Logan fell off the couch yesterday so hard that he threw up immediately afterwards and had a big goose egg too, sigh. Then today he ate (drank?) hairspray. Glad you could get a mental break through music and I hope you feel refreshed for the week ahead. :)
