Another Accident

Well...today we just had to go outside because it was so beautiful.. I had already planned it before Trigger got home. I was going to take out a few of the riding toys that we have kept inside because of cold weather. And, I took a blanket outside for me to sit on...hahaha...sit...no such thing when you have Trigger around!And of course, I had my camera too. We had only been outside for a few minutes when Trigger decided to ride his John Deere tractor. We have a downhill driveway...and I have always known that it was going to present problems with children...like playing basketball and the ball rolling all the way to the bottom of the driveway. :) Anyway, Trigger started down the hill...he was only letting himself go a little and then would stop himself with his feet and he was laughing!!!

Well, apparently Trigger lost control between picture one (above) and picture two (below).

His legs were up, the tractor out of control headed toward the road, he was screaming, and this pregnant momma was sprinting after him. Well, the tractor went off the driveway and flipped when he ran into a little tree....he was screaming louder than I have ever heard him scream....i'm still sprinting and yelling at him that he was okay. Oh my word! I pulled the tractor off of him and swept him into my arms to inspect every body part like any good momma would do. He was fine except for some scratches on his forehead...and those didn't look that bad at first. However, they did look pretty bad by the time his daddy got home. Trigger settled down pretty quickly (like seconds) and wanted down and BACK ON HIS TRACTOR AGAIN!!!! Well...i guess it didn't scare him too bad!
Here's a close up of his scratch.

Here are a few more from our outside time...



I almost forgot...our accident preoccupied me a little bit. HAPPY ST. PATRICKS DAY! Of course I didn't go to school today so I missed out on the fun of trying to catch the leprachaun. :( I think this is my first time in 7 years to miss out on the adventure...SAD! However, since I didn't have to go to work. I had the chance to spoil Trigger a little bit. Obviously he had a green shirt on...didn't want him to get pinched by his grandparents...haha! His breakfast started out with green grapes...loves green grapes...EXCEPT today...he decided they were the worst thing he'd ever tasted and would have nothing to do with them. HA! Then, he had some GREEN EGGS...YES he did, Sam I am!!! And he liked them!!! actually he LOVED THEM!!!!




ANNNNDDDD, what is a day in our house without a little corner time. Getting in the dishwasher, refusing to listen, etc...so off to the corner he went...he was actually upset this time...no pretend counting or tapping his fingers this time. And, NO, I did not put those boots with that outfit...but he loves those dang boots.

Please pray for us tomorrow...we are headed to Shreveport to see DR. Jones, our MFM (maternal fetal medicine) specialists. It's just for our checkup and I don't expect there to be any breaking news but you NEVER know...when we went to the dr. at 32 weeks with Trigger, we were expecting to be released to RUston and found ourselves walking over to the hospital to check in for the duration. Soooo...I try not to have many expectations!
Happy St. Patrick's Day from my little Leprachaun!!!
