Terrible 3's or a fearless boy?
My heart has lept more than ever lately. my youngest, jayce is the most accident prone child I have ever met! It doesnt help that he is completely fearless as he jumps and runs. On thursday we were in the produce section and he was walking all around the fruit. I filled a bag of apples and then pushed my shopping cart to find him, I knew he was near by and as I was turning my head and saying Jayce, Jayce...I SMACKED my shopping cart right into the side of his lil face. UGH :( I was completely stunned! Was his eye okay!? Oh no! His cheek was red and on the corner of his eye I seen blood. There was a small cut just under a fresh scar from the monkey bars. You could tell that area of the eye was really soft, I thought for sure at first he would need stitches. I kept praying, let him be okay. As we headed to the bathroom I could see his cut stopped bleeding and it wasnt as bad as I had thought, whew. I kinda feel what is he going to do next? But you cant ignore the fact that his face could have been looking directly at me, I was calling his name. And if he was, his eye would have been punctured. I know God had saved his eye, I imagine his angel swoopped down and turned his lil face in a different direction. I may not have been looking but our heavenly Father was. He always is! It brings me comfort and mothers of 3 year old boys need comfort! With my daughter I didnt have to worry about her safety the way I do with Jayce and its been 4 years since my oldest was at that stage. I am not sure if Jayce is more fearless or if I have forgotten! But goodness, he sure does scare me. Just today he decided to climb up concrete stairs and when I told him to come down he jumped down on each step! Its a good thing I pray for his protection every day! Thank you Lord for awnsering and saving his eye!

Lol, I can completly relate to this blog! Both my boys can be like this, but Noah most of all. There is not any fear and he feels he can try and conquer anything...ecspecially when it invloves heights. I guess we either need to get used to it (yeah right!) or start praying for extra endurance and strength! ;) I am so happy that his eye was spared and its wonderful that you can rejoice in that--knowing it really could of been worse! yikes! Hopefully he takes a little break and lets you relax a little bit without having to worry so much, but i do believe it is truly all part of being a boy! All those scars make great stories too, don't ya know!? Someone told me when commenting about the difference in raising boys vs girls. Girls are harder emotionally and boys are harder physically. I don't know about the girl part yet but I can agree with the boy part, LOL
