So, last week little Michael took a tumble off a chair in our living room. He managed to puncture the back of his head on something. Needless to say, there was a little blood and he has a had a round little scab on the top of his scalp. Now Michael doesn't have too much hair and the hair he does have is very light in color so everyday I notice his little boo boo. Well today I notice there were 2! Hmmm... I guess my little rough and tumble boy must have taken another spill. Boys will be boys, right?
Well, during bath time I was washing Michael's hair and the larger scab caught my eye. I leaned in for a closer look and FREAK OUT! A tick! I yelled for Dave and made sure Gracyn didn't know what I was worries about. Oh it was so gross! The little things legs were moving and everything. Of course you can image what was going through my head. Where did this thing come from? Oh no, Michael has Lyme's Disease? What if we can't get it out? Oh no, what if Gracyn has one too? My house is infested! Call 911! Dave and I managed to get that nasty little thing out of our sweet boy's head. It really wasn't all that bad and we got it all out, thank God. Michael had no idea what was going on and it didn't hurt him one bit. I think Mom is the one who is traumatised.
As soon as Michael's "surgery" was over, I marched straight into the bathroom and did a "bug check" on Gracyn. Then, off to the dog too!
