Thoughts of a Working Mom: James' First Shiner

On Tuesday, August 7, 2007 James went to Daycare as usual. I dropped him off about 8:00 AM, gave him a kiss, and told him to have a good day. At around 9:45 AM I get notification from the daycare that James had a little accident and hurt his eye. They told me that at about 9:10 AM he was running in the classroom and went to throw himself down on a mat. He overshot the mat and landed left eye first into a bookcase. I was told that he didn't even cry. He stood up and said, "I won't run in the classroom anymore." They told me that it looked real bad but that he was acting fine and there was no need for me to come get him. Luckily, Mom/Grandma is in town so she was able to go pick him up for me around 2:00 PM. Grandma brought him to my work so that I could see for myself how bad it was. It looked worse than I thought, but he was acting perfectly fine. Here are some photos from Tuesday through today (Thursday). He is a trooper. His Uncle replied to his injury by suggesting we get him some skates and a stick...cause he is ready for hockey!!!
