But we're not laughing quite yet.
Ryan and I had a board meeting for Hospitality House. We were only going for 45 minutes, so we left the kids home with Bryce in charge. Shortly after we left, Halea pulled a lamp down on her face. She nicked her cheek. Rather than calling his parents, Bryce took Halea to our next door neighbor's house to ask for a bandaid. They gave him one and he went back to finish caring for his siblings. No big deal, right? It became a big deal when the neighbors called the police and reported us for leaving our kids unattended. Really?!? The police came by and found that Bryce is old enough to care for his siblings and spent some time talking to the kids (now Parker wants to be a police officer). They left shortly before we got home. Still not a call to his parents. I found out the police were in my home when I noticed Halea had a jr police badge on her pj's. My take on this: Bryce should have called us ~ but he didn't. He went to the neighbors (the same neighbors who take their dog potty in my yard ~ but do you see me calling animal control) and they reported us to the police. Good feelings gone.
Yesterday Parker fell off of our kitchen fireplace (he shouldn't have been laying on it in the first place). He landed on the cement below the stove and had blood flowing out of his right ear. We took him to the ER where we discovered that his eardrum was still in tact. They did a CT scan and did not find any brain damage, so the blood was coming from behind his ear drum. Hmmm. He seems to be fine now. Because of his autism he does not feel pain or doesn't complain about it ~ so it's kind of hard to gage how he's doing.
I know we're going to laugh about all these funny things happening ~ just not quite yet.
