"So You Think You Can Dance" Night

Tonight is the night that I go to my mom's to watch So You Think You Can Dance. She records the show from last night and the result show from tonight and then we watch both the same night... we have done this for a few seasons. She makes big chocolate chip cookies and we eat them with ice cream. It is a fun night for both of us and tonight Dave was watching Ben so I could relax and spend time with my mom.

We were about half way into it tonight when I got a call that sounded like this: "ummmm, Ben fell tonight Erin and he hit his head really bad.... it is not bleeding yet, but the bump on his forehead is huge!".

I asked him if he could handle it or if he wanted me to come home and then he said: "well....um....I think he needs his mommy...".

What do you say to that?! I packed up my stuff and sped home, not knowing what to expect. When I walked in the door, I was faced with the biggest smile on Ben's face and the biggest goose-egg I have ever seen in my whole life! He couldn't stop smiling and Dave's look was a combination of worried/sick.

We spent the rest of the night playing in his playroom as if nothing happened. He was laughing and running around until almost 10:20! - He is such a tough little guy...his dad on the other hand.... ;)

Poor little Benny Terry...if only Granny would cut down on those mid-afternoon margaritas, he might not be hauled off to Child Services (who will be monitoring this blog in future).

Poor Benjamin:( it makes him look tough though.

This blog is great to be able to see my cute little nephew whenever I want...but is also proving to be quite entertaining to read "Uncle Booga's" comments haha!!
