I think it actually looks worse than it is. I think it's just a little deeper scratch but will take a much closer look tomorrow since it's so close to his eye. Some boys (not including Jake) were playing with these sticks / long weeds with hard ends and the littlest boy got hurt. The older ones never stopped to check on the little guy but Jake started to move closer (he's got a compassionate heart). He wasn't very close actually so I wasn't worried. I really didn't think that much of it but the next thing I know he's screaming and running towards me. I thought he had gotten upset at how rough they were playing but actually part of one of the sticks broke off and flung and hit him in his sweet little face. It really broke my heart. The amazing thing is that the cut/scratch is about a quarter inch away from his eye. If it had moved slightly towards his eye we could have been dealing with a much more difficult problem tonight. We are praising God that He protected Jake and that Jake wasn't hurt worse.
Now for a funny picture from earlier today...Jake and Jenna like to do this thing where they look out of the side of their eyes at each other. The picture doesn't capture how funny he looks when he's doing this, but it is Oh So Cute!
