Jake and the No Good, Horrible, Very Bad Week

Well, to start off these tragic events was Jake's haircut. Cody was holding Jake so I could hurry and just buzz it and he was being so good that I was kind of in a hurry. I totally forgot to put the guard on and buzzed his hair completely off right down the middle of his head! I kicked myself all night for being so dumb. So since Jake's hair was so long, we had to buzz all of it, but just not as short. So this is the wonderful haircut he's get to have until the hair grows back. His mother is a genius.

Next on the list...we were all downstairs by our fireplace because Cody had started a great fire and we're all just hanging out. Jake comes running in the room, trips, and smacks his head right on the corner of the stone fireplace. At first we thought he's just missed it, but then Cody realized he wasn't breathing because he was crying so hard. Poor kid. Huge goosebump on his head; I'm just glad it missed his eye. Luckily he let us hold ice on it until bedtime so the swelling went down really fast. He actually only woke up once that night, so pretty good for how bad I'm sure his head hurt.


Up next...Jake + his dad=wrestling. This is inevitable. Jake loves to jump on Cody no matter where or how he'll land. Well he jumped on the back of Cody's neck and started to fall forward, so Cody reached up to catch him and caught his thumbnail on Jake's eyelid. Again, I'm glad it missed his eye!



Later that same day, Jake must have caught the 24 hour flu or had eaten something bad because he had been throwing up all day and we changed about 10 diapers that day also. He is also teething so he's got a runny/stuffy nose and his gums are swollen.
So that has been our week. Hopefully next week will be better. This little boy will get tough fast at the rate he's going.

Oh my goodness! It's amazing he lived through all of that!!!! I'm laughing and feeling terrible all at once. What a sad week for the poor little guy, and of course, his poor little Mom!!

Unknown said...

oh my! that poor little guy! Sounds like he is 100% boy! sometimes it has to go from bad, to worse to just plain horrible before it will get any better lol.
I hope he is feeling better!

Carey said...

Wow, you weren't kidding! Cute little dude, his wounds look much better now! I remember that for about 6 months, every Sunday McKay went to church with a new goose egg or bruise on his head.

Helen said...

Like father, like son. Cody always had some kind of bump,cut or stitches. He is such a cute little boy.

Amanda said...

POOR KID!!!!! That looks like it hurts so much! It's a good thing kids are so resilient - I hope you are having a good holiday season!

Seriously, why does it seem like it all happens at once? Looks like a terrible week, but that means things can only go up.

Jake still looks dang cute even with his hair buzz.

Littletime said...

oh my gosh what a week, poor little guy he is such a cutie, that bump on his head looks horrible. Give his a kiss for me.

Nat said...

Man! Why is it that when things happen they all happen at once! I think that bump looks the worst. Poor thing. I do love the haircut though!:) Hopefully you will be accident free for awhile.

He sounds like he's down the same road Caleb went... he hit the bridge of his nose on our stone fireplace in our old house too when he was about 18 months old (no fault of his brother of course) but from then on it was like he was accident prone! Poor Jake!
