Happy Friday! Today was one of those “i don’t know where the time went” kind of days for me. I did a bunch and had a friend over briefly even but I still feel like the day got away from me. When I put Nathaniel down for his nap he wasn’t happy. He then said ouch ouch after a while so I went back up and he was pointing to his eye. But when I took him out, he seemed better so I thought maybe he was faking it to not nap. I put him back in and he finally fell asleep.
When he woke up 45 minutes later he was still super cranky and would not relax for a long time. As we went to get David, I noticed his eye was still watery and I couldn’t tell if it was because he kept rubbing it or cause he was hurt. I called the doctor and they said to come in so they could check. So I picked up David and we went in. And I am so glad we did!! It turned out that the little boy had somehow managed to scratch his cornea. No wonder he was so grouchy and frustrated. My poor poor boy.
When we got back home, I snapped some super quick photos.
But none of us were in the mood really.
We read David’s book, ate some dinner and Jake came home so David and I took a walk just the two of us cause I didn’t want to risk any dirt getting in Nathaniel’s eye. We gave him his medicine and he’s finally asleep. I feel so bad for the little boy and how much pain he must have been in without being able to express himself.
No plans for the weekend. Sunset magazine is nearby to us and they’re having their celebration weekend so we might stop by there but we’re expecting a lot of rain here so I plan to sit at home, curl up with books, play with my wonderful new art supplies and just cuddle up with my kids. To me, that’s the best kind of weekend.
Hope yours is great, too.
Three Things I’m Grateful For:
1. I am grateful that I called the doctor and took Nathaniel in. I am glad I didn’t ignore it. I am glad it’s a small scratch and it will heal very soon.
2. I am grateful for a quiet weekend with no major todo list items.
3. I am grateful that I did a little art journaling today. Even though I didn’t like how the page turned out, I love that I tried, experimented and I will keep doing so.
Three Things David’s Grateful For:
1. I am grateful that I got a Pokemon card and two lollipops. {* his pick for the journal}
2. I am grateful that I get a notebook tomorrow. I told him he could bring one to school to write in during lunchtime.
3. I am grateful that I got to have a lollipop.
Oh poor little guy, glad he was able to tell you something was wrong and that you got him in today. My little boy has always known he was sick or something not wrong from that young of an age too. I always know now to listen to him and he’s always right, no matter how big or small the illness is. So maybe your little one will be like that too. All 3 of my girls are not like that though. Sending you and your little one a hug and get better wishes. Have a good, relaxing weekend.
