My Bad News Bear

Bear has had quite the week for mishaps and accidents! On Monday night, I went to a friend's baby shower and left Josh home with the kids for a bit. He does great on "daddy duty" and was even cleaning the kitchen for me. He sent Lily and Bear upstairs to start getting ready for bed. All of a sudden, he heard something falling down the stairs. Lily and Bear are both notorious for throwing their toys down the stairs - they love to hear the loud thud when the plastic hits our hardwood floor in the foyer. This time, the thud was followed by tears, not laughter! Bear was at the bottom of our stairs.

Once Josh saw that Bear was fine, Lily gingerly walked up and said "Bear, I'm sorry I pushed you." Josh was horrified...as she retold the story, he learned that they were racing up the stairs and she held out her arm to stop Bear from beating her. She immediately felt terrible and has been sooo sweet to him ever since. I walked in as Josh was disciplining her and heard the whole story. We are so lucky that he wasn't hurt at all! Thank you Lord for keeping him safe and protecting him in a situation that could have been very bad.

Bear's accidents haven't stopped there this week. On Wednesday, he came home with an awful scratch on his face. Lily's version of the story is "A bug crawled on his face and scratched him" - but we're really not sure what happened!

Today, he was playing with Lily's fire man's hat from her field trip and got a huge welp on his cheek from the elastic strap!

Thanks goodness tomorrow is Friday - hopefully Bear's "Bad News" week is coming to an end!
