A 'Real' Rib Tickler...

[Caerwyddyn]

Ok,
This is slightly old news around our house now but I didn't want my story to be thought to be seeking sympathy so I've waited until now.
Everything WILL make sense as you read on...

Thingy, as most of you are aware is soon to be 18months old (doesn't time fly?) but was just on 17months when:

One night I had lifted him by my right arm around his chest with the lad facing away from me.
(this info. is important ;) )

I went over to ''Daddy'' so Thingy could give him his usual ''Goodnight Hi5'', but Bobbsy, being the :evil: man that he is, decided to tickle his little boy's tummy...
Well, as any thriving toddler would do, Thingy shrieked with laughter, waved his arms at Daddy to fend him off, and kicked his feet...
Problem was, at the back of those fast moving heels was MUM !
Lad was put to bed with his usual angelic smile and went to sleep!
:sleep:

Next morning I was woken by our son and went to get up to attend to his urgent call, and yes, was hopeful of success with an attempt to persuade him to nap a tad longer.
BUT,
when I moved it HURT !!!

Bobbsy attended to Thingy and they breakfasted together downstairs while I was left to rest and call our Doctor.
As I'm medically qualified, Dr. and I came to the obvious conclusion that I had one nicely cracked rib! :eek:
I went in to see Doc later in the arvo just to be looked over and while trying to avoid the obvious sillyness of the situation I had to laugh when she made the parting comment ''Well, you've a Robust lad there!''
:roll:

:laugh:


So,
next day was still pretty bad, but luckily Simon (Honeybear) arrived that night and although he thought I was joking when first told of my sorry state, he also aided me in some 'Get-Back' the following evening.
:darkside: Thingy OWED Me!

Thus,
while his adored big brother kept the Robust one distracted, I finally got around to Thingy's first haircut...
:devil:

Here are the results :good:
(BIG Thanks to Si for the photo! :kiss: )


Oh, and today is the first day I've really felt like my rib is mostly OK again!
:shhh:

Oooh what a lovely boy! He looks so angelic in the pic...I know he'll be a heartbreaker when he grows up. And I'm glad you're getting better, too, Caer....

[Faren]

:rofl: Justice is served!

Glad you are starting to feel better.

[Staerwyen]

I cant help but think hes a miniature version of Bobbsy.

[Xhack]

Wow - Killer pic, Caer. :heartbeat

Staerwyen - looks like Bobbsy? Nah, too good looking; definitely a preponderance of Caer's genes :evil:

*tries to visualise 'robust' angel. Yep, it can be done - just*

[Bobbsy]

An angelic picture? Well...maybe....

But for a more accurate representation of what was going on when Si took that shot, imagine the voice of Mr. Burns in the Simpsons saying something along the lines of : "Yeeesssss....if I can just look cute for a moment they'll laugh and not notice when I run over, grab Daddy's drink and pour it on the carpet..."

Look at the picture...try it with the proper accent...and you'll see what I mean!

Bobbsy

Oh, ABSOLUTELY !!! :ok:

[Xhack]

Hey, you already got him in the cardboard box! Quick - the gaffer tape and a call to FedEx for immediate collection. I'll sign for him at the other end . . . :devil:

[Simon]

same pic... better quality!

Mwah

Simon

[murphy]

He looks soooo angelic, you wonder what mischief he's planning.

[Greenrider Tresa]

Yep, he does look quite the little angel..
I'm sure he must have got into something right after the picture was taken! ;)

[Simon]

I'm sure he must have got into something right after the picture was taken! ;)

Actually he was more concerned with escaping from the box he was trapped in when I took the photo! :evil:

Simon ;)

[Caerwyddyn]

I'll sign for him at the other end . . . :devil:

As I've just read in another Thread...

"Be careful what you wish for..."


Wall, you SURE you want him or maybe you're just too stoked at the idea? :laugh:
:evil:

:erm:

Ah - Xhack's ''match making'' already... :shake:
Although she's a pretty wee lass, Thingy is into 'older women' thus far! :good:

BUT,
Do you REALLY want to be related to Bobbsy or I, even by Marriage/Handfasting? :eek2:

:rofl2:



Sorry for double-posting but Xhack's reasons for his enthusiasm just hit me!
:shrug:

[murphy]

Caer, how are the ribs doing?

[Chaotic Rat Army]

Oooh, cute kid :D. . . . he has the whole. . . sure I didn't mean it. . . look . . really going to be a heartbreaker . . .that is if it isn't too late.

[Aurelia]

Glad you are better, Caer! :hugs:

And Thingy looks divine in the piccy!
