About a year ago we decided that Beckett is going to be the one that we really need to watch...he was already the first to go to the ER (twice) and the first to go to Urgent Care (once). Well, this week he did it again. One night, I was getting dinner together and Roger was trying to get Riley outside. Then we heard a cry...the kind of cry that makes you stop what you are doing and run outside. Beckett is running at us with his hand over his eye. Crying too hard to tell us what happened and curled up in Roger's arms so that I couldn't see what has hurt...pretty scary. Turns out he was playing with a tennis racket and ball and hit the ball under a bush. When he bent down to get his ball, a leaf or branch or something scratched his eye. Yep...there was a visible scratch on his eye. So Roger whips out the computer, I console Beckett (and then pretty much have to hold him still so that he won't go back outside). Turns out bacitracin and an eye patch helped immensely. So that night we had a pirate dinner with a pirate cheers in hopes that he would keep the eye patch on. :-)
Beckett is VERY proud of being able to do thumbs up. When we were teaching him he frequently would get one thumb and one pointer up - "thumbs up and ones up!" But we are happy to report that he can now do both thumbs all on his own.
Yesterday was a very rainy day so for our morning walk, Beckett pulled out his rain boots and umbrella. He had a great time splashing through the puddles and Riley eventually got used to the rain and enjoyed getting all wet and muddy.
