don't run away from your mother!
So, last night Trevor once again had to learn a lesson about obedience. I truly feel sorry that it takes pain for him to learn that it is a must to listen to his mother. It was 9:00 pm and I asked the boy to come with me to get his jammies on. He told me no and ran away. The main floor of our house is a circle, so it makes it difficult to catch them when they decide to play this game with me. I was tired, and in no mood to play his game, so I went into his room to get his jammies and I hear, "I need help." So being evil, I thought, whatever you've done, you deserve this. Well, the intensity of his voice changed and it went from I need help, to the cry every mom knows when the kid is really hurt. I come out of the room and see the boy with blood pouring from his arm and it's all over the recliner. My immediate thought is 1). Raise is arm above his head and 2) Call Debbie to get her over here right away (Ryan once again was not home). Due to the rate the blood was flowing I thought I had about 10 min to get him to the hospital before he passed out. At this point I still couldn't see where the blood was coming from. After just a minute, I thought, I've got to take this towel off and assess the situation. To my surprise the bleeding stopped and I discovered it was only a puncture wound. I called Debbie back and told her we were okay. I then started the process of cleaning up this bloody mess and to try to figure out what happened. I put him in the tub because he was covered in blood and went to the living and discovered that a nail from the back of the recliner was the culprit. I also discovered the reason why the nail was exposed was because Trevor has pulled part of the back off to stash his toys. We found all kinds of goods back there.
So lesson in life for all ages...LISTEN TO YOUR MOTHER!

Oh boy! What fun. Sadly, we have these moments here too. I heard a crash yesterday and then Asher screaming and Emma came running inside and so I went to assess the damage and the ladder had fallen on top of him and pinned him down. Good times! At least we didn't have blood spurting.
Do you LAUGH or do you CRY! I could see it in my mind as I read the blog. Hopefully, Trevor will not have to repeat this "lesson" very often before he figures it out. HOW CAN YOU NOT LOVE THE SPIRIT OF THAT BOY! :)
OUCH!! That's sick. I'm so glad he's okay! That could have been his head or eye or something!
Luckily it was just a little arm cut. I have to say though ... It was funny to read that he had been putting his toys in there.
What, no pics, come on! That's crazy. You were thinking it was the brachial artery or something huh, that could be bad.
It's was the brachial artery, but because it was a puncture wound the bledding was able to stop quickly.
That's classic! And a great lesson.
