Lex gave us a real scare today. He was
standing on his box of blocks, as he is inclined to do, and it
tipped over and he tumbled backwards onto the edge of the
hearth. At first I saw just a little blood on his forehead and
figured he must have scrapped it a bit, but then I saw a trail
of blood flowing (yes, flowing!) out from the top of his head,
through his hair. I was sooo scared! I got him calmed down (he
kept saying, “mommy kiss it and feel make it better”) and got
his head somewhat cleaned up and the bleeding stopped, while at
the same time called Alan and left him a message that got him
home REAL quick. The little guy has a big goose egg on his head
and I think there will be a scab there too. Poor boy!! I have
been planning on getting some babyproofing on that hearth since
I’m going to have other peoples babies in my house, so I guess
he wanted to get his knocks in real quick before I safetied it
up :)
