A Friend in Need is a Friend Indeed

Tonight Smoke Bomb and Bottle Rocket were playing in their room upstairs when Smoke Bomb "accidentally" ran into a door jam with a toy in his hand. He had apparently hit his eye and from what we could tell probably scratched it. He was alright- we put ice in it and drops in his eye. Dada decided to have him wear a patch for awhile and Smoke Bomb protested right away. A few minutes later Bottle Rocket was overheard telling him that "it would be cool to wear a patch and they could pretend to be pirates together". Even Fire Cracker chimed in and said he would wear a patch. Bottle Rocket had not been solicited to get Smoke Bomb to wear the patch. He just knew it would help his little brother feel better. How cool! I went up to switch the laundry and when I came back, Dada, with his wonderous creative ideas, had fashioned eye patches for everyone. He dug out the left over leather from our couch, garden ties for the tomato plants and whipped them up in a matter of minutes. How clever! And Smoke Bomb had gone from "not going to wear it" to "where is mine". We all put the patches on and Smoke Bomb's eye had a nice break from any strain! Thanks Bottle Rocket and Dada for making the experience fun.
Pulling together as a family is what it's all about!
