It started with swimming class for Owen and Sydney. No they didn't drown, but we do always need to keep an eye on Big O as he would just prefer to jump in the deep end and see what happens. But after they were done swimming and Ann was getting them dressed Sydney who was sitting on a bench got her feet caught and fell backward landing directly on the back of her head on the hard locker room floor. It was bad enough that the mom next to Ann screamed. She had a significant goose egg on the back of her head and it is still sore if you touch it, but she had no concussion or headaches and we watched her pretty carefully over the next few days but she seemed to be just fine. In fact she was working on her head stands that evening before bed.
Later that night after we had cooked something on the stove Owen crawled up and stood next to me. Right after I got done saying that the stove was hot and to stay away, he thought it was time to test my credibility and he slapped his hand down on the hot stove. After a few minutes of cold water we looked at it figuring that it was for sure a trip to the ER but thank God there was hardly even an area on his hand or fingers that looked burned. Following a night of burn cream and a wrap, he didn't even blister. Go figure! But I think it scared him enough not to try it again. We shall see.
As far as Cooper there really isn't a day that goes by that he doesn't hit his head on something and i think all three of the kids now have had the triclops bruise.
