a little accident...

I was reading on the couch while Aidan and Harry were playing and somehow Harry fell into the end table. It looked okay for a minute until I picked him up and the blood started flowin'. It was sooo sad! Aidan started freaking out and running around the house saying "its an emergency!" He helped me get a towel to try and wash it up a little bit, but the blood just wouldn't stop. I had to hold him over the bathroom sink while Aidan went to get the phone to call daddy. Aidan was really the hero of the day! He called Jeff and told him we had an emergency and we would meet him at the urgent care. Then Aidan kept saying "I don't know what happened! This should NEVER have happened!" It was really adorable seeing how concerned he was about Harry and it was really nice that he was able to help me in a situation like this. I just taught him how to dial 911 also so I had to make sure he called daddy and not 911. All the way to the urgent care, Aidan kept telling Harry that the shots were going to hurt soo bad, but they would give him a Bob the Builder band aid and it would make it feel a lot better. So helpful. :)

Harry got away with just having it glued together so hopefully that will be just fine. He was really brave. And while I was very concerned about Harry, I was really truly amazed at the way Aidan reacted to it all. He was very mature about it, he wasn't telling Harry how disgusting it was, just kept telling him that he was bleeding and we needed to go to the dr to get it fixed. He didn't wander around the house waiting for me to yell at him, he just did what I asked and then some. I was truly amazed. He is getting so big!

Aidan is such an awesome little guy.

That sounds really scary though! I am glad that Harry will be okay.

Isn't it great how siblings can be so compassionate with each other. Sounds like Aiden is growing up fast.

Poor little Man! I love how cute Aidan is as a big brother! It's kind of sad that's what it takes to see your children love eachother and care for one another, but it melts your heart!
