Two Steps, A Bonk & A Bloody Lip
That's right. We were playing in the living room today when Mr. Man Pants decided to get brave and take a few steps on his own. He was trying to get the coveted television remote. That boy will do anything to have total remote control. Looks like Mommy is no longer going to be able to watch Ellen or the Today Show in peace. Oh, bummer.
Anyways, back to the story. Mr. Man Pants made it two whole steps (more like a dive with moving legs) to the couch (it required about 3 steps) and biffed' it that last step. Resulting in bumping his lip on the couch arm (not sharp and pointy, but hard leather) and bonking his head on the sliding glass door right next to it. Poor boy!
His lip bled for all of 2.2 seconds. He cried for about one of that. He wasn't too phased and immediately wanted down to grab the remote.
Let's just say, Mommy is very proud of herself for not freaking out over blood. After all, she's seen a lot worse on a kid than a bonked lip. I was for sure that when it was my kid I would flip, but I didn't. It was more of an "oh great where did this come from" and a "better hurry and get a paper towel so it doesn't get on your shirt" reaction. I made it through our first bleeding injury. I feel like an official MOB --- that's Mom of Boy!
If Vaughn is anything like his father, I am sure I am in for lots more adventurous injuries. From what I hear, T kept my mother-in-law busy when he was young. He definitely has the scars to prove it.
I am feeling better and better these days about the Mommy "hood!"
