For the safety of the boys, I have had to remove anything that can become a 'ladder' so to speak. The other day he got his vitamins out. I am not sure how many he ate, but I do know that the bottle had just been opened a few days prior and this day it was half empty! Maybe that would explain the 6 or 8 dirty diapers I changed that day?? The vitamin episode was the finally straw. Next time he could get into something that his stomach will not handle as well.
That same day the boys decided to take a bath in our bathroom. The little suction cup thingy that holds shampoo, soap etc had fallen down and I really did not think much of it as they got into the bath. A short time later I heard B say, "Mom, you better come in here, J has blood all over him." Fortunately as I headed into the bathroom, it occurred to me what probably happened. Otherwise I am convinced I would have freaked out when I saw J. He was standing up in the tub and had a stream of blood from his lip all the way to his toes. He had, as I thought, somehow gotten a hold of a razor and managed to cut his lip. I did remain very cool and calm as I thought this could need stitches. After 15 minutes though I was able to get it to stop bleeding.
One more reason why we are so diligent to pray for a hedge of protection around the boys!

Oh! My! Heart attack with Jacob! You always said he'd be the first ER visit! I laughed out loud at the drastic measures you have taken in your household. Keep it up, Shannon. You're doing great!
