my sad Malachi

There are hazards inherent to living with 6 siblings - you might get stepped on, you might get hit (not always unintentional), you may miss out on the last piece of cake if you're not fast enough...and then there are those risks involved that one would never dream up even in their most creative moments. You might just be trying to hug your daddy goodbye in the morning and get stabbed in the eye by your four-year-old brother as he passionately flings his arms around daddy's legs. Oops. It was an accident. Probably time to trim Isaac's nails? Sweet Malachi cried off and on ALL DAY. One trip to Daddy's office to get a diagnosis (abrasion on the cornea?) and then on to another doctor appointment at the opthamologist's. He patched it after putting some antibiotic cream in his eye. Mercy. Mercy. Mercy. There has been MUCH wailing today. But you have to admit that the little guy is just pathetically adorable! :) And, by the way, his eye should be much better by tomorrow (at least that's what we're praying)!!
