we took a header

although we have had a few falls with pump knots...and even a busted lip with blood, this header was the worst so far. it happened while we were cleaning up the kitchen and donovan was playing in the tupperware drawer. i heard a pretty mild fall and knew tears were on the way. by the time i bent down to pick him up blood dripped to the floor! oh my! i looked away to get a towel and by the time i looked back his eye brow was growing and turning blue in front of my eyes! i had always heard head injuries always look super bad, i was amazed at how quickly things looked scary. as quickly as the screams came they stopped. we had a few of his favorite snacks, read a few books and to bed he went. he did wake up to the minute of when his next advil dose was (4am). the next day he had a swollen green eye lid and was pretty fussy. the picture shows his head injury with a bug bite on his forehead. his knee is also skinned from crawling in the driveway. i have a hard time staying calm during injuries, and especially donovan's. i am trying to figure out how i can coax him into being an artist or maybe a dancer or possibly a master of sign language.
