cade is a pretty fearless kid and if he gets a bump or bruise or cut or scrape, it usually doesn't faze him too much. today is a little different. he was outside riding his bike (in barefeet as usual) and he crashed. sad part is he wasn't even doing any crazy trick like usual. just riding down the sidewalk and boom, down he goes. i look over and see him laying on his back, holding his chin and spitting grass out of his mouth. he cried for a good half hour and has road rash on both elbows and his chin. the kicker is now he's laying in his bed instead of going back out. usually a bandaid will make him better and off he goes again. is it bad that i'm a little relieved to find out that if he gets hurt bad enough he'll slow down?! i asked him if he was done riding his bike and he said "no, i just want to rest". he's trying to show no defeat.
aly is a little different story. she gets a scratch and is telling you about it for a week after it's healed. her big thing today is her flu shot. she's been telling me all day that her "egg urts" she got a "ooo ott". i got mine too and we asked the kids if they wanted to watch, which of course they did and then cade put his hands over his ears like he was expecting me to scream or cry! i uess he thinks everyone does that when they get a shot!!
in the midst of all the bike crash drama i burnt the spagetti that was cooking (yes i know there could be a variety of kitchen fire jokes inserted there). so now i have the windows open and the smell of burnt spagetti in my house and cade is yelling "mom, lay down with me!" from his bed. poor guy, i bet that's going to hurt in the morning!! now i'm going to scrape the spagetti pan then go to cvs and try to find "chin" bandaids that hopefully have spiderman on them!!
