A quiet day turns painful...

So now that Eric is in school (pre-k) and with all the other activities we have Tuesdays are our only day to just be home; and for me laundry day! Ethan and I were heading down stairs for lunch, Eric a few mins. behind. I went into the kitchen while Ethan was still on the steps walking down. I heard him jump off the bottom step then he started screaming (turning blue from holding his breath.) Eric came down during the crying fest asking what was wrong. Right then I knew I would be calling the dr.'s office, thinking he just broke his foot. Over the next hour Ethan if he had to walked really slowly and didn't want to put weight on his right foot; oh and the bruise was already visable. We finally were headed to the dr. but first to drop Eric off at a friends (April) house. The whole time I'm thinking Ethan has broken his foot... not the case, thank goodness! X-rays and all Ethan is just fine! Now on to get Eric, once I open the door at my friends; April says "I gave Eric a black eye." Well, that's not true either, Eric gave himself a black eye. He was climbing up a book case to pick up a pet rock and it fell on his eye, leaving a nice shinier to show for it! So injuries in all everyone is doing just fine... well, mommy might need a metal health day!
