Boys will be boys...

On Monday, we went to a park in Palo Alto. I ended up having to stay in the van to nurse while Erdy took the boys to the park. They were playing pretty well together according to Erdy until they started chasing some birds. Nathan got upset that Noah was teasing the birds. So he took a twig and started running after Noah. He accidentally poked Noah in the eye. You would think Noah would start crying...nope, he just kept on playing. Luckily, Erdy saw it happen and looked at Noah's eye. Erdy wanted Noah seen at Kaiser. I didn't think it was a big deal. His eye was a little pink from where it was irritated. Erdy didn't want to take any chances so I did ended up taking him to Kaiser.

It turns out that his eye was scratched but luckily nothing else was injured. Whew! The doctor gave me some drops for him to prevent an infection. Thank goodness Noah is not at all bothered by his eye. The scratch should heal on its own and go away within a week.

Meanwhile, we really laid it hard on Nathan. We told him he needed to be more gentle and to use his words instead of lashing out.. Noah and Nathan has been playing rough lately. They claim they're super heroes. And where the heck do they get this from??? We have no idea. Boys will be boys...we try to take into consideration the adjustment they're going through. Erdy has returned to work but as soon as he comes home from work, Erdy takes the boys to the park to let out all their energy. It pays off around 8:30pm when they are in deep sleep!
