Matthew LOVES playing outside this summer, especially with his cousins in Oconomowoc. With the weather being nice and night time showers the mosquito farms are hard at work. Well the other day Matt was having too much fun playing outside at dusk which is when they feast on yummy blood. I went to get him the next morning and I had to do a double take, it looked like he had a black eye. On further inspection he had over fifty bites mostly on his face and neck. It looked like he had black eyes, a ping pong ball size swell on the side of his neck and the chicken pocks.
All that day he was just miserable I could tell in his eyes. So we went and got benadryl for him and hoped for the best. I am happy to say aside from a few scabs from scratching he his looking better.
The next day we went to the zoo again, he still has fun. When entering they have a grassy area for those who wish to have a picnic. They also have a brick border between grass and side walk about 6 inches off the ground. Well Matt wanted to be like the big kids and clime all over it. After telling him to stay off a million times and getting distracted fate stepped in and of course he fell backwards and hit his head on the concrete. Just a scrape and a goose egg, nothing a little Tylenol can't fix. I hope for his sake he learns a lesson that he is not invisible. The kid just can't catch a break!

Sometimes I wish that I was invisible. Usually when I am watching T.V. and my wife is yelling at me to do stuff. I think "if I sit really still, she won't see me here". It usually doesn't work.
ReplyDeleteOh...did you mean invincible? Yea, I gave up on that a long time ago. Right around when I turned 30.
