Boys will be Boys

My friend Erin is in town with her little boy Nathan. Yesterday Jack and I met up with them at the Lilac Festival in Rochester. I had hoped to have all these great pictures of the boys and the lilac backdrop. Instead, our day was cut short when Jack ran into one of the trees. My heart stopped for a few moments because I could see the incident playing out before it happened. Jack had started running and within moments I could see he was headed for one particular tree with a branch jutting out at his eye level. Thankfully, he is ok. I raced back to Buffalo to take him to the doctor and they checked him to make sure his eye wasn't scratched. His face is scratched and his eye is a little swollen. But, he's fine and back to his old self. I knew he was ok when he saw his dad at the doctor's office and ran over with a big grin on his face, "DADA!!!" Erin was a great help. She helped find the medic and even carried Jack back to the car because he wasn't in a stroller mood (hopefully her arms have recovered). I know I can expect more scratches in the future. My biggest concern was his eye and fortunately, he is just fine. Boys will be boys.

Oh my gosh...thank goodness he is okay and that it looks worse than it is! I'm so sorry your visit with Erin was cut short, too. Hope you guys will be able to meet up another time before she has to leave town.

:-( Glad to see my little buddy Jack is still smiling. I feel so bad that he got hurt yesterday - thank goodness he's ok. After exhausting every kid song I knew (all of about 3) singing and dancing with Jack, I decided it's time I learn some new ones!!! It was great seeing you guys too. Maybe we'll be back to BFLO in a month for my cousin's graduation. I'll keep you posted!
