Recent Injury

Our poor little kiddo, Samuel had a boo boo.

While riding in a kid-friendly trail with Grandpa, he shifted his weight to straighten out the seat cushion and the train hit a bump, sending his cheek into the side of the car.

It doesn't look like much, but during the next few days it turned into a nice shiner. It never really bothered him, though.

I won't show you that photo. I don't want you to think that we did it to our own kid. :)

Update on Black Eye

Two Black Eyes-- Thanks Samuel!

On Saturday, Samuel was looking out our back window, standing on the couch while I was laying on it. I asked him to come down. He stood up, turned, sat on me and then, flung his head back, straight into my nose. My husband was across the room and could hear the crack. I immediately had one of the worst headaches I have ever had (I'm still feeling it now). Even with ice, the left side of my nose is swollen and today, you can see the start of 2 black eyes.

I don't think it's broken.

Not the best picture, but you can see what's coming.

Someone needs to come up with a human airbag to help save my poor eyes (and my poor nose).

Wordless Wednesday- Another Black Eye

Thank you Samuel!!

Mommy really likes being close to you, but stop getting so close, so fast that you give Mommy a black eye.

Sam Was Hungry

Yesterday morning, Sam and I were playing on the floor and he decided to dive on me, head first with his mouth open. At first it was bleeding. Here is what it looks like this morning.

Black Eye Update- End of Week 1

It was 1 week ago today that Sam decided to give Mommy a black eye. Here is an updated photo. Yuck!!

Then and Now

This first picture was taken about 3 hours after Sam decided that it was a good idea to head butt me (about 7pm last night).

 Here is what the same mark looked like at around 7am this morning.

Here is what the same mark looks like now (2:30 pm today).

I wonder what it will look like tomorrow?
