Someone loses an eye. That's the new saying Eli learned first hand this week. Last night the kids were in the bath, playing as usual. I slipped into the other room to prepare Maddux's pj's and I heard them giggling, which is quite common these days. I poked my head in to make sure everyone was above water and breathing and then I moved to Eli's room to get his night clothes out.When I came back in the bathroom, the kids were full-out laughing and having a great time, so I grabbed the camera. As I started shooting, I saw what the laughter was about: Maddux was touching Eli's face and that was hilarious! To be more exact, she was poking his face....and he liked it.
I threw out a few "Gentle, Maddux" suggestions, but for the most part, just watched and enjoyed. They were having such a great time together, I thought 'why not'? It was at that moment that Eli reminded me why not: his laughs turned into 'oww!!' when Maddie made contact with his eye. And his protests just made Mad Dog laugh more and more, so she continued to do it. I think that is the last time Eli will be so willing to allow Maddie to pick the game-de-jour for bath time.
