You Should See The Other Guy

Friday night I took the boys to a party with friends at the church. Right when we got there the boys started running around with all the other kids. I was talking and Ry came in to me crying. He wouldn't tell me what happened but I saw his eye was red. I took him in to the kitchen where we found an ice pack in the freezer. As I held it to his eye I could feel a bump growing and we all knew he would have a black eye. He sat by me the rest of the night and expressed his feelings of how it wasn't fair that all the other kids were having fun but he wasn't. Silly boy. He didn't want to go play because when I took off the ice pack his eye was so swollen it was blocking his vision and scared him.
When he went to bed he was scared he was going to roll over onto that side of his face and it would wake him up because it hurt. He ended up sleeping well throughout the night and his eye hasn't bothered him at all since. The swelling is down, it's just black and blue!!

I think Ry looks so much like my brother in this pic!

Kevin tried to coach him in to saying "You should see the other guy" for when people asked what happened. With his black eye and missing tooth he really looks like he got in a fight :) I tried to get him to say he got hit in the eye with an icicle or something with "You'll shoot your eye out." In the end we've been told when people asked how he got his black eye he just said nothing and ignored them. That's Ry's style.
