We haven’t been up to too much around here other than playing outside and soaking up as much sunshine as we possibly can.  After a very long winter, everyone in this household is enjoying getting outside!  The first couple of days that it was warm enough to play outside, the kids couldn’t figure out what they wanted to do first–they wanted to do EVERYTHING!  What a great feeling to see spring arriving and everything (including our spirits) wake up from a long winter nap!

Unfortunately, our outside play doesn’t come without the risk of injury, as we found out this last weekend.  Sunday afternoon while we were enjoying a nice afternoon playing outside with our new neighbors, Josiah tripped and ended up with a stick in the eye.  I haven’t ever seen an eyeball bleed before, and trust me, it’s not pretty!!  So, off to urgent care we went.  Thankfully it all ended up being OK–just a nasty scratch on his cornea on the white part of his eye.  His eye still looks pretty rough, but the injury doesn’t seem to be slowing him down.

The worst part for him is the eye drops he has to get every 4 hours.  If anyone wants to see how strong an almost-2-year old can be, come on over when it is time for his eyedrops…watch out!!
