Nathan's Mishap


Today I had one of those parenting experiences that you know happen all the time, but they shouldn't to you. Right?
I was getting ready for church, Nathan playing at my feet. I finished with my curling iron, unplugged it, and ran out of the room to finish packing for church. For some odd reason I had forgotten the curling iron once I had unplugged it. I figured Nathan was fine, Bart was behind the closed door close by in the shower.
Suddenly, I hear him crying. I run in thinking he must have shut his finger in a cupboard door. There I see my poor sweet baby sitting on the floor, bawling, with a curling iron sitting beside him. I couldn't believe what I had done!

I found the burn on his head and immediately started cooling it. He also has a small one on some fingers, that I found later. They aren't to bad of burns, we are so grateful. I must admit sometimes I think I "hurt" worse then he does knowing that I failed to protect him.
Well, kids heal fast, (thank goodness) and as you can see from the pictures and especially from the videos, that our sweet Nathan will live. With gusto.
