Burned

Poor Lightning, He is just to playful for his own good. He is in a constant state of motion. Always teasing...... He's a boy, that about sums it up. In the mornings when I am still groggy I beg him to settle down, to not run through the kitchen especially. I am usually making breakfast and it usually means there is a HOT something brewing some where in the kitchen. Sure enough, what I had predicted and warned him about happened today. I have often said, "One of these days you are going to get burned or accidentally hurt one of your brothers or sisters!" Today it was him. He was playing around and teasing about finding a bowl for his oatmeal.. I had just heated and poured Little H's water for her oatmeal and warned her not to touch, that it was HOT and I had just finished speaking when Lightning came over and with one finger in the bowl to grab it for himself he pulled hot scalding water right down the front of him

DAAAANNNNG IT, THAT HURT'S!!!!!!!!!!

A hard lesson learned,or is it a lesson learned the hard way??

Either way it is painful and I feel so bad for him. He insisted on going to school. He knows staying home is no fun. I am sure I would be lenient today. I sent a note to the teacher and left a message for the school nurse. I guess if he can't hack it, I will get that fun call to go pick him up. Hopefully the ibuprofen does the trick!!
