This picture doesn't really do his eye justice! On Monday we were out playing in the front yard. Noah was standing just outside the garage. Zach came out with the Frisbee and chucked it really hard. He didn't mean for it to hit Noah who was standing 3 feet away, but it did! You know that sound a Frisbee makes when it hits the ground really hard? That deep "thunk" sound? Well, that is the sound I heard as I looked up just in time to see Noah grab his eye and begin to scream! It immediately got swollen and purple. I wish I had taken a picture then, but my mind was on ice, calming the hysterical Noah, and reassuring Zach that we all knew he didn't do it on purpose!
I find that the more these little "disasters" happen the less it gets me worked up. I used to get all flustered and emotional, and now I barely blink an eye if we have to head to the ER!

Nice shiner! It's a right of passage. Everyone needs to have to have a black eye atleast once.
I think my future just flashed before my eyes. Now that the initial pain is gone, Noah should enjoy showing it off to everyone. Teach him these six small words: "You should see the other guy!" :)
I remember having a water balloon fight and one of the boys snuck in the granade kind and hit me right in the eye and getting a black eye. Fun times!
ohh, too bad! i know what you mean about not getting you too worked up the more often they come, which is too bad since my boys are still too little, but i guess i'm in for it! i love checking up on your adorable family here! it is so fun to keep in touch!
OUCH!! That looks like it hurt. I know what you mean about not getting worked up. When I do I think it just scares the boys, so I try to keep my cool most of the time when I see blood (which isn't very often, thankfully. At least not yet.)
My mom has a picture of my brother and I when we were growing up and we BOTH have a black eye...that we gave each other. Be glad it wasn't on purpose!
Isn't it funny how the longer we're mom's, the less this kind of thing seems like a big deal? I think we have to learn to roll with the punches or we'd go nuts!
Tell Noah congratulations on being so tough through his injury!
He totally has your eyes!!!!!! Hey, I'm making my blog private... so I need your email address so that I can invite you! Just email it to me at katiejolamb@hotmail. THANKS!!!!
