Therapy fund

Worst mom of the year? I am thinking so.... Tonight the kids and I were on the floor reading Halloween books before bedtime. We were all having fun and the girls were actually listening to the books! B was having so much fun he started screaming, and cheering, while lying right next to me. His mouth was an inch from my ear. For those of you who have not been around Brayden, he is loud! He talks loudly, he thinks loudly, he plays loudly and he screams even louder! My ear was ringing! We have talked to B about his loud voice ALOT. Tonight I just looked at him and said, "I don't think I can hear anymore, my ear is broken." He actually stopped screaming turned and looked at me with panic in his eyes, and tears forming. He said, "Oh no, is it going to fall off?" I said, "I don't know, is it bleeding?" My hair was covering my ear, so he lifted it up and he instantly started crying! He said, "It is all red, oh no mom, it's going to fall off!" Evil person that I am, I started laughing! I had no idea he would actually be so concerned! He cried harder, and said, "It is going to bleed, what do we do?" I gained control of myself and told him, "Hopefully if no one screams for the rest of the night it will be ok." His first response was, "Can you give something to my sisters so they won't scream??? Just give them whatever they want, so they won't scream at you!" He was genuinely worried. With all the chaos, I forget what a gentle, sensitive boy he is. I reassured him before tucking him in that my ear was ok, and I should be just fine. I know I mentioned this before, but really, who is willing to chip in for my damaged son's therapy bills?? This is just the beginning.....

This is a pic. of him from a few weeks ago, he has a little bit of a concerned look on his face.... I wonder what he was thinking?
