If you look at this picture I bet you can't guess what's wrong? Well maybe you can. I'll give you 3 guesses. Ok give-up. Well I'll start the story at the beginning. I could only take my kids to an evening bible school b/c of my work schedule so they had to wait until July 13 to go to one. Well it was well worth the wait. Jarrett & Brooke had a blast!!! We went to First United Methodist Church by Walmart in WMonroe. We had visited once before and it was highly embarrassing. (I'll save that story for another day.) One the first day I stayed with Jarrett b/c he had his tramatizing last day at the only daycare he has ever know. He paid attention, learned alot, and really impressed me. Maybe in my mind he still is a baby, but I love seeing him growup infront of my eyes. Well on the final day he had to stand up infront of the church and perform a song with sign language. He was fine until he got up there and I noticed he was crying and a lady came and put him in her lap to comfort him. I took pictures thinking it would be a funny memory to show him how he had stage fright. After the song was over he was still crying so I went to calm him down. I couldn't so I took him out of the church and that is when I noticed that he couldn't open his eyes. Evertime he tried he'd scream and start crying again. I tried to flush his eyes out in the bathroom which was very difficult by myself. Finally after about 20 minutes of him screaming and crying I put him in a chair in the foyer and went in to get Brooke from the church. I had missed her performance, but she understood. When we left he rode with a wet papertowel over his eyes the whole way home and wouldn't stop crying. After we got home I gave him a washcloth and turned on SpongeBob hoping he'd quit crying and try to watch it so I'd see how bad his issue was. He finally stopped crying so I got to check out his eyes. They were swollen and extremely red. I figured he had eaten pizza earlier and had rubbed his eyes with the spices still on his hands and that irritated his eyes. So it wasn't stage fright after all, because the following Sunday he got to perform his song w/ sign language infront of the whole church when we visited there. He did great and he knew all of the movements.
P.S. If anyone needs me this week I am working 12 hours graveyard shifts so it will be really hard to catch me.
