It's a bird, it's a plane, it's....

A HUGE KNOT ON HIS HEAD!! Ok, so have you heard the saying "Never put a boy wearing superman pajamas on the top bunk" Well if he is wearing the underwear, don't let him leave the house!!!! You see, a couple of weeks ago Elijah and a buddy decided that there was something on the ceiling of the classroom at church that needed to be removed. My son is not the most "graceful" person in the world. So when he and his buddy climbed onto the table to retrieve this item, it did not take gravity long to take effect. Soon, he came tumbling down. His face was fortunate enough to break his fall. The bad part is, the item the face hit was the corner of another table. I have not seen a knot swell so big. It hit him right in the middle of his eyes just above his nose. He looked like something off the movie Mask with Cher. FREAKED me out.

I contemplated taking him to the doctor, but I was a little afraid that they might call Child Protection Services. I can hear the questioning now:

"uh, Mrs. Burns, where you watching your son when this happened?"
"why yes, i watched him take a flying leap right off of this table."

Elijah has already had stitches in his eye from another injury. Dont ask....

The funny part was, his buddy watched all of this happen and continued to try and retrieve this item off of the ceiling. BOYS.....go figure!!

I am thinking of setting up an automatic withdrawal system at the doctor's office.
