Last night was an eventful one... I had some work that I needed to get done for church, so I was downstairs while Kevin and the boys were having somewhat of a movie night... I don't know, do Sienfeld episodes count as a movie night????... anyway, Dax was on one, as he usually is when Kevin is home. He loves his daddy and loves when he's home because it's his play time with the throttle down....
All of the sudden there was a blood curdling scream from the living room... coming from Wyatt... Dax had fallen on him. This had happened before but it was Dax literally just walking around and lost his balance and fell and I was there to see it, this time he was "crashing" and crashed into Wyatt, not on purpose (obviously) but it didn't make it very easy for me to accept that he got hurt because of horseplay... It was a good fifteen minutes before we got Wyatt to settle down. It was TERRIFYING!!! I thought for sure something was broken. It had something to do with his arm, shoulder or neck... He wouldn't move it for the longest time. What was sad is that the thought "the doctors wont believe us" came into play, so we wanted to make sure he really wasn't ok before getting him to the doctor. It would have been completely different had we gotten to see our Doc, but that wasn't going to be possible.
Wyatt did eventually settle and luckily, Kevin's aunt is a nurse and she kindly came to check him out.
It took a little bit before he finally fell asleep... he wanted to be held for quite a while and that was MORE than alright by me. I think I'll hold both boys a little longer each night... I don't know what I'd do if anything ever happened to either one of them. He eventually did go down and slept through the night.
He woke up to eat at five this morning and gave me the biggest smile...kinda telling me that he was all good... I'm SO glad it worked out the way it did... it could have been a lot worse.
I have a feeling it's never going to be an easy thing to deal with when my kids are in pain... I was bawling right along with him.

I'm glad little Wy is ok! And I'm glad you're ok too :) It's never easy to see your kids in pain, especially when they are too young to tell you. And then when they are old enough to tell you - they milk it beyond what it really was and you don't hear the end of it for WEEKS!
