A Painful Lesson

When I took this picture Blaise was happily playing. A split second later he picked up two handfulls of sand and threw them in his own face. He spent the next twenty minutes crying while I desperately rinsed the sand out of his eyes with bottled water.

Fortunately Blaise wasn't injured but the incident reinforced an important lesson I'd already learned and one that every parent or person that cares for a child should remember: kids can get into trouble when you're staring right at them.
