Blood - through a 4-yr-old's eyes

Okay, so this pictures has nothing to do with my story, but I was worried I would forget it before I had time to get a good picture.

We were at the park and Tanner tripped and fell on the sidewalk. He started crying and was bleeding pretty bad. Through his sobs he said,

I'm wet inside! (sob, sob)

I drank water (sob) and now it's coming out RED! (big sob)

I couldn't stop laughing. What a kid. He comes up with the funnies things constantly. I keep thinking I need to have pen and paper with me at all times to write down all the funny things he says.

Typical summer weather

This summer was horrible in terms of weather. On the longest day of the year I almost broke out in tears because I hadn't been outside to play with the kids yet and the forcast said we wouldn't for a long time still. Any day that wasn't pouring rain had hurrican winds or was cold. Now it's September and I feel totally defeated in my efforts to make the only 2 months of warm weather we get in this city fun outside.

Oh well, now that it's September and thus fall in my brain, maybe I won't mind the continued cold weather and I'll just bundle the kids up and try to squeeze some fun at the parks in.

"Good thing you don't just have a mom"

So, Larry might not like this picture, but I wasn't fast enough at grabbing my camera to catch the real drama.
9:30 at night and Tanner is still wide awake in his bed as usual. Suddenly he starts screaming for me, so I hurried into his room. I found him sitting in his bed with one leg inbetween the slats of his headboard. His leg was stuck.
I tried several different ways to get it out but the only success I had was in making him scream louder. So I had to go get Larry and went to grab the camera. Larry was in the room for less than two seconds and Tanner's leg was free. What??? How did he do it?
All I had to say is, "Good thing you don't just have a mom Tanner or you would have had to fall asleep with your leg still stuck."
