My biggest boy keeps my nerves at full alert. Friday we woke up and got Grayce off to school and I decided that we were gonna hang out at home get some laundry done, read some books and just relax so this weekend we could play hard and let the house chores go undone. Well Truman had other ideas for Friday morning, we visited the ER he slipped in the shower and split his eye open. Normally I am wreck when it comes to my children and blood, I have to work up the courage to look and remain calm so they continue to remain calm themselves. Friday was the worst for me I was all alone and I had no idea what to do, we tried butterflies and regular band aids and of course he wanted nothing sticky on his face, Sophia was my nurse and what a great big sister she is. I had no choice but to take him to the ER. Truman is a brave strong boy, he laid on the hospital bed and just stared at the doctor while he cleaned it and decided that the best option was glue as opposed to stitches! I was relieved, I was not sure how I was gonna build up the courage to stand there and hold him while they numbed his face with needles and sewed it back together. They would have sent me out of the room, or gave me a tranquilizer. This boy is gonna keep me young, he has no fear and is always doing wild things.

Way to stay strong Barbie...I could not have done that. Please give Truman a huge hug & kiss from us.
I think Max and Truman will be the greatest of friends. I'll probably see you in the ER sometime. Paige
