Burn

Armour loves to "help" me cook. I give him little safe jobs and keep him away from hot things and knives-or at least I try. About a week before Halloween, I was cooking some pasta for dinner. I was alone in the kitchen. I took the pasta pot off the burner and over to the sink to dump said pasta into strainer, and in that 20 seconds, Armour came in behind me and grabbed the burner. It was really sad. His hand is burned in a ring pattern. The pictures do not do it justice. It is healing, and he is doing well. Here are the pics:

The burn shortly after it happened.
"Mommy it huts!"

Pain! (Note the cute baby girl in the background too!)

After it was cooled down, looked at, wrapped and ready to go-he crashed on the new futon-cute little sweetie-poor guy!!
The next day he wanted to take the bandage off all day so I finally let him wear daddy's long sleeved shirt and tied his wrapped hand into it...At first he thought it was funny and interesting:
Then it made him mad...

Poor kid-good idea on the long sleeved daddy shirt with the tied sleeve. I remember when Jaxon stuck his hand in the oven while I was taking dinner out (I totally thought he was in the other room) and got a massive blister the size of his hand. . . . the hardest part was keeping the bandage on his hand for it to heal. I hope his hand is better soon. Give him a kiss from Aunt Andrea!

Oh that poor thing. It is so hard to see them in pain like that. Ethan grabbed my hair straightener last week and I still feel guilty when I see his little burn. I'm glad it's healing, and that he let you bandage it up. Ethan seems to have a phobia of bandaids and screams even harder when I try to put one on.
