Trouble Maker


Tuck loves to fill the sink up with bubbles EVERY TIME he goes into the bathroom to wash his hands. He loves showing all his tricks to his cousin Morgan. Sorry Anna! :)
Wed night Tuck split his head open playing at the neighbors house. I was busy making dinner when I heard screaming at the front door. Thinking it was just the kids fighting I took my time getting there. When I looked out the window I saw Maddie sobbing and screaming that Tuck was hurt. I took one look at the kid and panicked - he had blood all over his head and face. I hate head wounds because they always look worse than they really are. Anyway . . . I made my neighbor Kaelyn come over and look at him. She had to clean him up cuz I couldn't even look at it. Funny that I worked in a doctors office for several years and that stuff never bothered me then :). Kaelyn got him all cleaned up but we still couldn't decide if he needed stiches. We called Beth Nestman (a nurse) who lives in our neighborhood and she was kind enough to come over and help the paranoid mother out. She said he looked fine. The first thing Tucker asked for was pancakes. I should have known then that he was ok. Anyone that knows Tuck knows how much he loves his pancakes! The next morning I found out that Maddie thought Tucker was going to die. She stayed in the laundry room the whole time we cleaned Tuck up - she said she was praying for her brother. Even though they fight I guess they still like each other! Oh I guess I should tell you how he split his head open. We have a field in our back yard. The kids like to go back there to find treasures (even though they are told not to). Tuck was in the neighbors back yard when the older boys were in the field and found something. They decided to throw it over the fence into their yard and it hit Tuck on the head. I still don't know what it was that hit him. But he is doing great. Thanks Kaelyn for helping me out AGAIN! She can't ever move. A while back I had a bird my around inside my house. She had to come over and chase it out for me :) Thank goodness for great neighbors!!!

I am so glad that it was not something more serious! I think it is so cute that Maddie was praying for him the whole time. Children have such great faith!
