Accident at home
Nathan is just one big walking accident lately. He has a big bruise on he side of his head from falling in the sandbox at school. He's probably had another 5 or 6 reports since the last one i reported on here... most of them small. But yesterday at home was a doozy. I was home alone with Nathan. It was bed time so i opened the gate in the living room so we could go up the stairs. Nathan is usually very good about going up the stairs. I was about to follow him then remembered I wanted to get his milk. So let him start up the stairs as I went into the kitchen... which if you know our house means I could still see him at the stairs. He wasn't two steps up when he slipped and banged his chin on the step. I ran over and there is blood pooling in his mouth. Boy that just makes your heart drop to your stomach. After I cleaned him up and and forced him to let me in his mouth I discovered that he had bit the inside of his bottom lip. The bleeding stopped fairly quickly. He was much more upset about me trying to stick an ice cube in his mouth so it wouldn't swell up. He was very tired (even if he hadn't had that trauma it was bed time) so he went right to bed. Poor little guy. I'm sure that's just the first of many bloody mouths, noses, knees, etc. I'm glad we got his picture taken during the few day stint that he didn't have any bruises or cuts.
