tonight we had got home from having a Christmas with my mom and step dad along with other family. the kids were so excited with their gifts and seeing everyone that we let them stay up a little bit later than normal. (recently i have felt the need to enjoy quiet moments as a family.) anyways we finally decided it was time for bed. we started to get the kids ready. garran was helping the kids brush their teeth. cullan had gone first and then got in bed. while he was helping kael he heard cullan say, "dad, i broke my light and it is in my eyes" garran ran in their to find that cullan had managed to break a glow stick that had come with one of his Christmas presents and it was all over his face and in his eyes. garran scoops him up and runs him to the bathroom. he immediately starts washing his eyes. cullan is screaming, i am on the phone with poison control, and kael is balling his eyes out in the bedroom. i get off the phone with poison control, check on garran and cullan and then tend to kael. I ask him why he is sobbing and Kael tells me that he is sad because Cullan broke his eyes and will not be able to see anymore. Cullan hears this and starts crying even harder. i assure cullan he will be able to see again and that his eyes are not broken. after getting him out of the tub, wrapped in a towel, I lay him on our bed. he is still crying due to the fact that his eyes were burning. i finally ask him if he is still crying because his eyes hurt of if something else is the matter. he says "no my eyes don't hurt, i just don't want band-aids on my eyes, cause that will really hurt". i assure him that we will not put band-aids on his eyes and he starts to calm down. Kael joins us shortly and some bickering begins. finally kael yells at cullan...out of no where i might add..."GEEZ CULLAN, HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!"
