Stuck!

I know I need to do a birthday post, but had to write this down first.

I was downstairs when I heard Cole, who was upstairs, start crying.  Then sobbing.  Then yelling "Stuck!! Help!  OH NO!!! WAAAAHHHH!"

I quickly ran up to find him...

...glued to the floor.

You read that right.

I had been trying to fix a Christmas ornament that Cole had broken, and had left the super glue on the counter.  My bad.

Cole had apparently decided to climb up on the counter and unscrew the glue.  It was all down some drawers and all over the floor.  He must have stepped in it, because the hem of his pants and one of his feet were stuck to the floor.

Fortunately, he hadn't been stuck long, because I was able to easily pull is foot and pants off the floor.  His little toes had been stuck to the bottom of his foot, and I had to delicately pull those off as well.  I don't think any of this hurt him too much, but he sure was upset. 

He won't let me try to scrape the extra glue off of him, but he's sitting here on the couch next to me picking at it himself.  I was tempted to call the pediatrician, but I suspect she'd just tell me to give it time and that it'll come off on it's own.  (I know this from experience - fixing Christmas ornaments is tricky.  And sticky.)

Seriously.  I've been a mom for close to 9 years now.  Just when I think I've seen it all and experienced everything my kids can throw at me, something like this happens.  It's a lovely reminder that I still really don't know what I'm doing and that there's a ton I need to learn. Oy.

Now, off to explore the internet for suggestions on how to remove super glue from laminate flooring and cabinetry.  Double oy.
