This sad mug shot is my boy AFTER today's dramatic episode.
The BEFORE involved him scraping his toe under a door, spotting a little blood, and then screaming all of the following:
I need to go to the HOSPITAL!
I BROKE my TOE!!
It's going to FALL OFFFFFF!
Daddy! DADDY! I want DADDYYYYYYYY!!!
It BURNS!! It's on FIRE!!
Ow! Ow! Ow! OW! OW! OW!!
Can you carry me? I can't walk!!!
And then, of course, somewhere in there he was lunging at my pen and paper saying, "No! DON'T WITE THAT DOWN!"
I love this kid!
ReplyDeleteI just read it again. See? Now I am CRYING again...except this time it's because I am laughing so hard...much like I did when I heard it all live earlier today. :D
ReplyDeleteThat picture is priceless! Poor Babe.
ReplyDeletePoor baby!
ReplyDeleteJacob is the SAME way. Complete craziness over the sight of blood. Just a few weeks ago, I took him to a small water park. Paid $18 to get us both in. After about 15 min. he goes down a slide and rubs his finger on a dry part of the slide and gets a blister. I didn't doubt that it hurt but you would have thought it was cut off. We had to leave! He was hysterical until I got him a milkshake at McDs so he could have "ice" on his finger to make it feel better. He didn't make a peep after that!
Would love some advice on "toughening up" boys.
Well, I thought it was helping when I would talk to him about only crying as much as it hurts. I just about drew pie charts to make him see the difference and how bad it was. It seemed to help a little, BUT then the toe happened. And since he was exaggerating again, I did nothing at first...which is why I had time to grab a pen and start jotting it all down! :) Bad mommy.
ReplyDeleteI love it..."Don't wite it down!". He knows he's got a bloggin momma! He will one day be glad he has that bloggin momma!
ReplyDeleteLove his face and puffy red eyes. :)
Nathanael is much tougher than Zachary and always has been. Nathanael refuses to get bandaid's even if it is gushing blood. Zachary wants a bandaid if he barely scratches his leg and there is no evidence of a scratch. Differently personalities I guess. But with Nathanael, from the beginning, once he fell, we just brushed it off and he was fine...even if it was terrible. Zachary, being the 3rd, for some reason I babied him more...and now I suffer the consequences. :)
hahahahhahahahahah!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteI just cracked up out loud with his last statement!!!
hahahahahaha.............he knows his momma will keep track doesn't he!! hahahahahahaha!
It really was funny in the live show, too. I could not stop laughing!
