"ALEVE"

So you may be wondering why the picture of a plant when the title is "Aleve." THis story is priceless-- though it did come at the expense of Eric's toe.

Tonight, it was time to get Dylan ready for bed. He was running back and forth between Eric and I ticking and laughing up a storm. The sound of his laughter is contagious! Dylan and I went to hurry upstairs and Eric came running after us to "get" us. Eric slipped on the stairs and immediately fell down yelling. He thought he broke his toe initially. However, when we looked-- well he had ripped a portion of the skin off-- enough of the gross part. Dylan was SO concerned about him He followed Eric to the bathroom holding the entire box of band-aids. As I went to take Dylan to get his jammies on, I asked Eric if he wanted some Aleve to help stop the throbbing. Dylan started yelling- I get it for Daddy-- and took off. He ran to the plant you see in the pictures above-- he pulled and pulled (it is fake!) He finally got the 2 leaves off. He ran back to the bathroom saying "Here daddy-- here is your leaf-- you be all better now!" He was so proud of his hard work.
I could not be prouder in this moment-- it was precious and priceless!
