Houston . . . We have a Problem!: The boy took a header and I grabbed a BG

The boy took a header and I grabbed a BG

2:35 PM

In my defense I really didn't know it was that deep. When Nate was a wee one he had a run in with a lamp --- more accurately he tried to pull himself up to a standing position using a lamp cord. It didn't really work out for him. I did however learn from that experience that head wounds bleed!! A lot!

And the boy is tough!

He cried for a few minutes but then stopped.

Similar to the time he face planted out of the Radio Flyer . . .

So, at 1st glance I didn't really think this time was going to be anything more than just a lot of blood so you know I grabbed the meter. Save a finger grab it while you can seemed like a good motto at the time.

Ehhh - - - well turns out it this one was a little deeper than I thought.

Apparently, he was chasing Pancake, tripped on the living room rug, and fell head 1st into the leg of a chair.

Off to the ER ----

Serenity now.

And . . . Yes, he is playing Cut The Rope on my mom's iPhone --- he kicks ass!

Poor kid! Thats sad. He seems rather calm in the pics. When I had younger siblings go to the ER it was always a "hold-ya-down" scream, bite, and kick fest! Hope things get better!

Kinkos has bubble wrap on sale, just wrap him up! :) Hugs to you!

He's adorable-even all sad, teary, and sweaty! : ) Did he get stitches? How do they make all the blood stop? I want some of that!
Hope your house is calmer now!! : )

What kind of D-Mom WOULDN'T grab a 'free' bs check?! ;). And, how is it Nate can look cute while crying, pouting, bleeding, wounded, shocked . . . . etc. He is one of a kind, my friend. I would tell you to cherish and adore and love him to bits, but it is sooooooo obvious you already do. He is one lucky boy to have you as his Mama.

He is a tough boy. That one picture where is face is all red, just brought tears to my eyes. I think all of our kids learn to toughen up really quick with D, no matter what age they are. Way to go Nate.
