Bump on the head

My cute little boy has a big bump on his forehead. I was running around this morning trying to get ready to leave the house and I set Ryan down by some of his toys. I ran upstairs and I heard a thump followed by him screaming. I ran down stairs like a mad woman to see my little boy crying and smiling at the same time. He has a beautiful wooden fire truck that we found at a second hand store. He always wants to pay with it, it all comes apart and he can undo some of the big wooden pieces. He crawled over to it and seriously bumped his head. I think he was proud of himself that he made it to the fire truck, but he was really hurt. He has a huge bump on his head that is all red. Of course we went to go show Daddy and Rex did not even notice it. It was so traumatic for me. It is always amazing to me that when anything happens to your child everything seems to matter and everything is worse case scenario. Ryan is fine, it was me that I think that Rex was worried about. But how can I help it that is my little boy. I always knew that I would love my son, but I never thought I would be in love with him. As all mothers understand the love that you have for your children is unlike anything you could ever express. Here is a picture of the HUGE BUMP on Ryan's forehead. -yes I know you can hardly see it.

Shower time

So I have to share my funny shower story. Today I was taking a shower and trying to shave my legs for like the third day in a row. But as all of you moms know there is not such thing as an uninterrupted shower once you have children. I looked over at Ryan and he was about to put Rexers boxers in his mouth. When I take a shower if Ry is not asleep than I set up a blanket and several toys in our bathroom for him to play with. Well Ryan was apparently not interested in the toys and went straight for the dirty clothes. He is not fully crawling, but he is so close. He can crawl backwards and I am assuming that is how he got to the dirty clothes. I was laughing so hard, he never got them in his mouth. Ryan thought it was pretty funny that Mommy jumped out of the shower and ran over to him laughing and waving my arms. I yet again did not get to shave my legs-well I guess I will try tomorrow.

Pancake Feed

On December 6th is the 12 annual Pancake feed at the Fire Department. This will be the third year that Rex and I will be the main organizers. It will be at the Sumner Station from 9-12.

Rexer goes back to work

On November 30 Rex will be returining to shift work. We are thrilled. He has been on light duty for the past 6 months. He tore his ACL May 1st and had surgery on June 16th. I am really excited, but I have not been alone in our new home yet. I am a little nervous, but I have a great support system all within 5 miles north and south of me. He is counting down the days until he gets back on shift work. The fire department has been amazing and totally taken care of us.
