Uh Oh ...

On Tuesday night we were all outside with the kids in our neighborhood. Our neighbor has one of those little cars that the kids can get in and it is open to the ground below. Ryland L-O-V-E-S playing in this car. Tab was pushing Ryland and Ellie Brook around in it and before we knew it Ryland had fallen into the opening and was being drug under the car. And to top it off he had on shorts so his little knees were just torn up. I cannot imagine how much it hurt and burned. We took him straight inside and to the bath to clean out all of the scraps/scratches and to stop the bleeding. This is by far his worse "accident" so far. He screamed every time that we tried to touch them or put medicine on them. He screamed when we put on his pajamas. And he screamed when we tried to put pants on him the next morning because his little knees hurt when he walked in pants (needless to say he went to school with shorts on). They are getting better and the scabs are starting to form. It just breaks my heart when I see his little knees with these scratches and scraps knowing that they hurt.

His knees in this picture do not look as bad as they do in person but this was the best one that we could get ... Ryland was not in the mood to sit still for a picture of his knees!
