As we were getting ready for church yesterday....we had a disaster! I had just gotten done straightening my hair and
Vernie was getting
Avin ready (little did I know...he was already finished). I went into the closet to find something to wear and all the sudden I hear something fall to the floor and
Avin screaming. He had pulled the hair straightener off the counter and tried to pick it up. He burnt six fingers (2
nd degree burns). He still has blisters on all of them. Needless to say, I was panicked! Scared out of my mind. I didn't even look at his fingers before I started screaming for
Vernie. I just knew it was bad. He cried for about 2 hours that day. And his hand was submerged in water for
atleast 3 hours. Finally he took a nap and was fine after that. He doesn't even seem to be bothered by the blisters. He is such a trooper!! Tough little guy! We did anything he wanted to yesterday to make sure he was happy. He ate juice treats and watched Veggie Tales as much as he liked!! It still makes me cringe to see the blisters! I am so glad
Avin has such a wonderful daddy!
Vernie had to take care of him because I couldn't stop crying and freaking out. I have always tried very hard to avoid such situations and that one time I screw up this happens! I can say I have seriously considered NEVER straightening my hair again!! :) I am sure I will get over that as soon I have a bad hair day! :)
Here is a cute picture of our little one....please pray for fast healing for his poor little fingers!

This picture was taken in Raymond, Washington at V's aunt and uncles. We went in May for vacation.

Awww. poor guy and momma. When I was little (too young to remember) I pulled a pan of boiling water off the stove and all over myself. At least he doesn't have blisters on his head. :) I bet my mom still cringes about that event.
Violet was into everything last night and poured a box of macaroni on the floor then poured cheerios on a different floor while I was dealing with the first mess. Then she spilled water into our laptop while I was making coffee. So, you can't be everywhere all the time. Unfortunately, even when your on top of things stuff still happens.
