You Should See the Other Guy

I left my oldest alone in the driveway for five minutes yesterday and he came in with this giant gash above his eye. If you look closely, you will see that it is a nice circle shape - say like the end of a bicycle's handlebars - his brother's bicycle's handlebars to be exact.... He seemed to think that he was pretty unlucky to do such a thing. But I look at this - and how close it is to his actual EYEBALL - and I am thinking he was pretty lucky indeed! :-}

Wow--it's accidents like this that give moms gray hair, because we think of all the "What if?"s. Glad he's OK.

I am expecting to see a follow up photo in the next day or so, showing the resulting shiner.

"EYE" yi yi! Oh this is what gives mothers o'boys gray hair! Just yesterday Ashley called to tell us Dylan had tumbled twice and ended up in the emerg to get his chin put back together! Amazing that they put it together with glue! Wow...how lucky he was after all! And your, too!

Did it turn into a full-on shiner?

@bette amazingly enough it didn't! I think this is actually the worst it ever looked. Luckiest eye injury ever if you ask me.... :)
