Goose Egg

The boys and I were outside playing with some friends yesterday. My neighbor and I started to talk about how well Camden was walking. (first mistake) Camden was trying to keep up with the kids and was falling a bit. (Nothing bad no ouches) We started to talk about kids getting goose eggs on their heads. (second mistake) I said I would rather have the kids fall and NOT get the goose egg. And have a bruise over a few days. She said she would rather have all the damage at once.

Well, the kids had a wonderful time outside - no one was hurt. Except for a few unfortunate slugs and a worm...



At 3am I woke to what sounded like a kid falling out of bed. I jumped up, went into the boy's room. And in the dark started asking Keenan what happened. He seemed really asleep. I thought well it must not have been bad. Then I looked at elek on the way out. He was completly under all his blankets. He never sleeps that way. I went to him. He suddenly popped out and very awake said, "I hit my eye on the door." Thinking of the loud noise that woke me up, I touched his forehead. A huge goose egg. Poor kid:( I put some medicine on it. Today it looks like this. Not bad for smacking your head on the bathroom door frame in the dark.
