Monday was the first day of Chinese New Year. I had this grand plan to make a traditional Chinese dumpling recipe complete with fried rice and share the recipe and several “how to” photos on the blog in celebration of my daughter’s heritage.
W had different ideas. Very different.
W and his brother T decided to play their own version of WWF Smackdown (which is COMPLETELY against the rules, I might add!!). At some point in the rough housing, T threw a blanket at W and it scratched W’s cornea. Ugh… I tried to brush it off as no big deal and sent W to bed, and I thought we had escaped major injury because he went right to sleep. Not so. He woke us up at 12:30 a.m. SCREAMING in pain. There was nothing left to do but go to the ER. So off I went in the middle of the night with 4 kids, a bag of books and snacks to the ER by myself. (Nothing like this can ever happen when their daddy isn’t working. That would go completely against the rules of the universe!)
Thankfully, all that was required was an eye patch, some antibiotic drops, and a big ol’ dose of Tylenol with Codeine :)
Anyone that knows W will tell you that he is pretty dramatic. He was really bemoaning the eye patch–that is, until I drew a big scary eyeball on it. Then he decided having an eye patch was really cool! Boys…. ::eye roll::
Here’s one quick snap of W’s “eyeball”. Don’t get scared now…
(and no laughing at my artistic skills either! There’s only so much I can do with a sharpie! LOL!!)
