Camden

Well - here's our latest story. I'm just waiting for the next one to begin - but I really hope it's not until he heals from the last couple of weeks! lol

2 weeks ago - we had our pull out bed out for either my cousin or Paige to sleep on. I'm not sure which one - and either way - it's not really relevant to the story. ;) Camden was jumping on the bed or whatever - and bumped his head. So - he had a nice knot on the left side of his forehead. Mind you - he never cried....3 days later - in school. The class was walking to the bus - and Camden had both his hands in his coat pocket. You see this coming - don't you! lol He tripped...and his forehead broke his fall....and no - it didn't hit the same spot as before. He got another knot on the right side of his forehead So - here we had this little boy that looked like he had horns coming out of his head!

So - just as those knots are green and showing signs of getting much better. We of course need to make this a bit more interesting.

For my nephew's birthday - my sister, some friends and all their families including mine went to the cottage for the weekend. Ping-pong is quite big among these friends - so we had the ping-pong table up on the air hockey table ready to go for that night's competition. (oh - and if you're wondering - I'm #8 lol) Stacey - a good friend of ours was upstairs where the ping-pong table is - and did I mention there was 10 kids up there? They were all running around the ping-pong table and wouldn't you know - Camden ran into it. Stacey said he didn't cry or anything so she didn't think anything about it. Carole came upstairs w/in a couple minutes of it happening and found him with his head in his knees. When she had him look up at her - his right eye was covered in blood. Of course she screamed for me - and I just couldn't believe it. lol Panicking just doesn't happen for me anymore......more or less my first reaction now is "you have GOT to be kidding me!!!". So - I threw us together and we headed in for stitches. They were able to use super glue...so we were in an out pretty fast....but what a black eye that turned out to be! I obviously had no idea......

Let's fast-forward 1 week.

Cam's right eye still didn't look great yet....but was healing nicely. Carole and I had a photo shoot Saturday....and with our husbands' in Florida and the snow blowing - I was snowed in at her house that night. I put Camden in the shower and wouldn't you know - within just a few minutes - he had slipped and hit his left upper cheek bone on the built in shelf in Carole's shower. I've never seen a knot like that before! Feel free to check out my facebook pictures.....I took daily pictures ;) The bruise has been so bad that I haven't been able to send him to school or take him into public places....b/c seriously....it just looked that bad!

Oh - and I guess I haven't told you that it seems like Mondays are "explanation Mondays" according to Camden's teacher. I'm almost always dropping Camden off on a Monday saying "we had another thing happen......." I'm sure he'll be a student she never forgets!

So - right now - his bumps on his forehead are gone......the right eye is pretty much healed.....and his bruise around his left eye is fading. Praise the Lord we've made it through these two weeks! I really thought I was going to lose my mind! haha! So - until the next crazy thing happens - this is the most recent.

Until then....... ;P
