We celebrated Kiernan’s 8th birthday today with his friends from school. We didn’t do the greatest job on decorations but we’re very ‘hands on’ for party games and whatnot. I threw myself into games like Green Light/Red Light, Zombie Tag, and more. It was fun and everyone had a good time until Finn stabbed Kiernan in the ear with a stick. He’s so used to having his brother’s undivided attention, the kids were really hyped up, he was getting tired, I don’t know why he did it. Luckily it didn’t get in the ear drum but the inside of his ear bled a lot and Kiernan was freaked out for a minute. I feel bad for Kiernan but at least it wasn’t one of the other kids. I don’t really understand why Finnegan does some of the things he does.
One of the children from Kiernan’s school had to have an inhalation treatment before he could play. I was concerned for him the whole time we were there, watching for any signs of distress. All that worry and he was fine. Me, on the other hand, with these huge fires in Malibu sending massive volumes of smoke into the air, and I already have a cold- I came home and still feel wheezy after taking my asthma meds. I haven’t really needed them since we moved but I spent a good ten minutes chasing kids while I was playing a zombie so… It was worth it.
