No more monkeys...

Ok, so Andon and I have had a nice conversation that he is only allowed to be dangerous and have head injuries when daddy is home from now on!!!

Tonight I was supposed to go to a Pirate Party for a friend of our's b-day, but before that I had to run down to church and help with MOPS registration for a quick 20 minutes. While I am changing into my MOPS shirt, I hear the cry that every mom dreads! I ran back to Avery's room and Andon is laying on the floor and I can't see what in the world is wrong....because he's face down! Once I roll him over I see the obvious!!! Immediately Avery, the little reporter, says, "Andon was jumping on the bed." Of course Avery was too but that was not important at that point. We have also had some experience with them both jumping from Avery's dresser onto the bed...which they both denied doing tonight. He ended up hitting his head on Avery's book basket by her bed...that is now in the garbage can and we replaced it with a soft one!

I was really not sure if we needed to head to Urgent Care or not because there wasn't a laceration requiring stitches, however, the swelling and discoloration was really impressive...and not in a good way!!! We were ready to head down there but since he passed all the tests that I was trained to do on head injuries when I was lifeguarding, and was acting just like Andon, we ended up not going after much deliberation!

So literally, we experienced the song, "No More Monkeys Jumpin on the Bed". What a great night to read that book and teach a lesson....now there is no question why we say that!!! The pictures show the downsized version after about an hour of ice!
