Blinking contest & fire ants

Trevor, age 4, is one darling kiddo. He has these deep brown eyes and a sincere look that just kills me. The other day the kids were having staring contests after dinner, and he decided it would be so cool to have a blinking contest...

Trevor loves hearing and telling stories. This afternoon we were resting together and, while trying to get him to go to sleep, I told him his birth story--how it was so calm and peaceful with quiet music playing (that I had on at that moment), how he was born in the water and we got to snuggle. Then he told me a story about when I was born. In the water and we got to snuggle and that he kissed me and hugged me and loved me. Aww...

Also this afternoon (still trying to get him to go to sleep...) while snuggling, I smoothed his hair from his forehead and noticed an awful-looking yellow bruise. I asked him what happened and he calmly responded, "Oh, yeah. The fire ants just came and gave me that."
