Above is the pin pulled from Sebastian's leg - the one he was shot with. We thought we lived in a safe area. :) Really, when we were moving out of the old place one of marty's friends picked up the bb gun, loaded it with a sewing pin, pointed it at Sebby, and shot. They made him swear to not tell, and they all figured the pin was on the floor somewhere. A month later, Sebbby told me what happened and showed me the bruise where it hit. I figured he was okay, just being a baby. He complained about it after days swimming, skating, playing baseball, and generally running around. I figured he was just tired and feeling whiny after all of that activity. Actually, the pin was in his leg and working itself to the surface. Finally, 3 months later, we had it x-rayed and went to a surgeon. He had to have it surgically removed. That particular "friend" is now too afraid to come around. And this is why I am a candidate for mom of the year.
Above is the after photo, below is the before.
