And the Worst Mother Ever Award Goes to....

Well, Brock had an accident a few nights ago. Every night while I'm fixing Brock's bath water, Marcus and I let him play in the sink. He LOVES looking at and talking to himself in the mirror! Much to our surprise, he has now learned to turn the water on. He turned the scalding hot water on while he was sitting in the sink. I have NEVER heard him scream so loud. He cried and cried....I think I cried as much as he did. We yanked him out of the sink and his right foot was extremely red...it looked like a blister was about to form. He finally quietened down for me to give him a bath. I felt absolutely horrible, and Marcus did, too. I kept telling myself that I shouldn't have started letting him play in the sink in the first place. While rocking him to sleep, I prayed that God would heal his foot and not let there be any sign of a burn on it. When he woke up the next morning, there was nothing there but a perfectly precious little foot! Praise God! Needless to say, Brock won't be playing in the sink anymore. Lesson learned!

On a happier note, I still have a few weeks left before starting back to nursing school! I have enjoyed spending every day with Marcus and Brock. The coaches at Andalusia made out a schedule this summer, and each coach only comes for workouts on their scheduled days. This means that Marcus was only gone about two days a week, and he was home by lunch on those days! It has been wonderful! I absolutely dread going back...this summer has spoiled me! I am almost positive that I will squall my eyes out having to leave Brock. He's at the age now that he knows when his mommy is leaving him. However, I know that these last two semesters are worth it. Can you believe it? In less than a year, I will officially be a registered nurse! It's been a long and stressful journey and I will be SO glad when I won't have to study my life away every night! I'm pretty sure Marcus and Brock will appreciate that as well!

Here are a few of Brock's favorite things to do:

He loves helping his daddy draw plays...or just eating the board is fine with him. :)


Bumbo seats are better to eat anyway.


He's learned to operate the remote....seriously. Typical male. :)


Isn't this precious? I could watch him sleep for hours.



More to come soon. Promise!
