Thomas Saves The Day

Yesterday, Harrison decided we needed some excitement around here. Apparently, he thought 3 sick kids wasn't enough fun! 

Anyway, he was playing with his trains in the floor while Tanner was feeding HK. He started crying & screaming saying his ear hurt. He kept on & on, and was saying that he put "Daddy's hanger" in his ear. There was a plastic hanger in the floor where he was playing, so Tanner thought he jammed it in his ear. He kept crying, though, so once HK was done eating, she checked his ear. Well, guess what? There was a safety pin jammed in there! 

So, Tanner isn't so great with a crisis, so there may have been a little freaking out. Tanner tried to pull it out with her fingers, but no luck. We lost our only pair of tweezers in TN, so that was out. After trying to call Grandi multiple times (ahem), she called Bo in NoLa. He suggested trying to use the magnet on the front of Thomas the train. Wierd idea, but it worked! 

Mommy had to pin a screaming Harrison down to stick a wooden train in his ear, but that pin came right out! Thank goodness for Thomas! Here's a photo of the rescued Harrison right after the incident, and a photo of the hero. Is it just us, or does Thomas look pretty proud of himself?
