I was in the middle of cooking dinner Wednesday evening when I heard a sudden shrieking coming from the bathroom- R had climbed up on a 1 foot high stool (which S uses to wash her hands in the sink,) and then fallen off...apparently hitting his mouth in the process. Blood was running everywhere, and as I mopped him up there seemed to be a line of blood on his skin I couldn't rub off...turns out he bit all the way through his lip!! Yikes. That was bad enough...until Thursday morning when he tripped over his own feet, smashed his face into the floor and reopened the wound--blood everywhere again. For the rest of the day I had him strapped into either the stroller, the highchair or planted in front of a video--anything to keep him on the good side of gravity! We're glad to report that he is now 33 hours face-smash free and his lip is healing nicely. The wound inside his lip (which you can't see in this picture) is about a centimeter long, and the wound in the skin below his lip is about half a centimeter.
Something tells me this wasn't the last trip we'll be making to the Urgent Care clinic...and pancakes sound pretty good to me too!
S is now in a month of "Summer School" (which is 2 hours a day, 4 days a week) but on the last day of the regular school year they had a Hawaiian Luau party which I was able to attend with R--we brought the pineapple :)
Not sure what message this look is trying to send--"Enough pictures Mom" or "This pineapple is rancid" ?
