It's Not Blood!

Hopefully the title of the post prevented anyone from having a mild panic attack when they saw this picture. It is not blood; it is what happens when Evan gets too quiet.

We had a lovely day yesterday, and we spent part of the morning snuggling whichever child wanted to curl up on the couch with us. It is so rare that they will sit still long enough to snuggle anymore, and I take every opportunity I can for some snuggle time. I was snuggling Issa, and Evan was less that five feet from me playing in their kitchen. Then fear set in this mother's heart: he was just too quiet. Here is the conversation that followed:

"Evan, what are you doing?"
"Nothin'"
"What are you doing nothing with?"
"DIS!"

And he held up Issa's stamp pad. Then he popped up and turned around. It had to be captured on film. And this is what happens when Evan gets too quiet.
