This small incident will go down as one of the funniest, freakish, near panic attackish experiences to-date currently with one of our children. I was sitting outside pushing Lourdes in the baby swing in Beloit. Directly beneath me is an old cement stump that once held a fence post. Kapaun came running towards me, tripped perfectly and fell face first into the cement stump. I waited for it. I flinched, twisted, cringed in all sorts of directions because I knew he had just knocked out all of his baby and permanent teeth. He ran fast and fell hard. I waited. No sound. Did he knock himself out? Did he hurt himself so bad that the delay cry was coming in 3 seconds. Nope.
He popped up looking like this. I don't know what happened because it defies logic and physics. Imagine my surprise when down went a clean-faced boy and up popped no-shave November. I laughed and laughed and laughed. How in the world? The dirt was so perfectly formed it almost looked like I painted it on. Thank you Jesus.
That is too funny! Such a cutie-pie, even if he does resemble a very short Hitler. ;) My kids and I got a kick out of this post this morning.
ReplyDeleteI enjoy your blog so much. The love you have for your husband and children is evident. I stumbled upon your blog when I was looking up Classical Conversations stuff. I really like the idea of putting frames on the wall and writing the memory work there. :)
Oh, he was lucky- such a cute boy...
ReplyDeleteBut honestly, you should better look for a new and more appropriate post title. I was shocked to read it especially on your blog! God bless from Germany, Nicole.
What a cutie pie and such funny story!
