This morning started off great. Eli slept until 6:30am, we had a nice family breakfast and then Tim got the bike ready to take Eli on a bike ride - giving Mommy a little bit of quiet time. And then........
Eli went running down the driveway and fell down. He wasn't able to catch himself so he hit his head smack on the concrete. It scared me pretty bad. He took quite the tumble and as you can see from the big goose-egg on his head, it was a rough little fall. We tried to ice it but he didn't want much to do with that. Of course, I did some reading to see if we needed to go to the doctor (and called a few neighbors too!). He didn't have any of the "serious" symptoms that warranted medical help so we just watched him all day. I became overprotective Mother and didn't want him to fall again. We spent some quality calm time together after it happened, had lunch + a nap, ran some errands and then had some play time with Ryan. He seems to be doing well and doesn't even really know that he has a big knot on his head. I feel so terrible about it. I know it won't be the last time he gets hurt but it hurt me so bad to see him cry and in pain. Poor little fella!
Poor little man!! That's horrible. I know how you are feeling though... we've sure had our share of boo boos around here! :-)
ReplyDeleteGreat pics from the zoo and good news on 2.0! Maybe he'll share Noah's birthday - July 2nd!
