Trauma-rama

Another beautiful week full of walks and park playing.  We even went to feed the ducks and run through sprinklers!  In mid-February!  It was awesome.

On Friday we went to go play with the kid's friend Sophia.  They had just moved to Hurricane, so it was a bit of a drive to their new house.  They had a lot of fun, though, playing with Sophia and her toys.  We even baked sugar cookies and frosted them.  Then we did a little 'heart-attack' hunt outside which Hayden just LOVED.  He thought it was the best thing ever!





On Saturday it was a big family fun day with Daddy.  We went to the park and had a picnic and afterwards went to Brandon's work for a few minutes.  When we were getting back into the car, Kylie was getting into her seat and I was helping Hayden into his, Kylie began screaming bloody murder.  It was instantaneous and escalated so quickly; I had no idea what was going on.  Kylie was screaming and crying and pawing at her stomach.  Did she get stung? Bitten by a spider??  After I got her out of the car and examined her I could finally hear between her hysterics "I swallowed my gum!"

Wait, what?  She swallowed her gum??  Apparently all the horror stories Brandon told her about swallowing gum and what it would do to your stomach had flashed into Kylie's mind after she accidentally swallowed her gum for the first time.  It took awhile to calm her down and explain that she would be alright and her stomach wouldn't hurt or lay bug eggs or whatever Brandon told her before would happen.  Eventually the only thing that made her feel better was telling her to drink lots of water and that would help it not hurt.  She downed her water so fast it was amazing!  Afterwards we couldn't help but laugh at this sudden and terrifying episode.
