Spring Times
Saturday, May 10th, 2008Joshua is eight weeks old! He is smiling and cooing and is just such a sweet baby. These days go by so quick–so we hold him lots and take many pictures!! I still find it amazing we have two boys! Lots of times I’m holding Joshua and I’ll remember James at this age–you can certainly tell they’re brothers. James still seems to be doing okay with having a new baby brother although we are continually teaching him what the word ‘gentle’ means. Going from one child to two is a big transition–my days are busier and go so much faster!
I was just finishing the above blog when James starting crying from the other end of the basement. I could tell from the way he was standing it was a foot issue and from the way he was crying I knew it was bad. I went over and looked and he had stepped on a staple and both prongs had gone in–one of them way in. I started yelling and Ryan met me on the stairs and carried James into the bathroom. I removed the staple and then Ryan held his foot under the tub faucet until the bleeding stopped. Of course James wailed throughout the entire ordeal until about an hour afterwards. He is okay now, his foot has been cleaned and bandaged. He is walking on his toes now and having a fine afternoon. What would a Saturday morning be like without our wonderful little James.
