Owie!

Tonight I had my very first serious mommy heart attack. I was trying to get our supper ready. While I was doing all of that he was doing his normal little boy thing, running around. He likes to push his riding toys around and run as fast as he can in our living room. I had him gated off to where he could safely be in the living room and kitchen with me. He had room to run and play and entertain himself while I did what I needed to do. I turned my back for just a second to pull supper out of the oven when I heard a loud crack and then screaming. The wheels on the riding toy came to an abrupt stop. I whirled around to see my sweet baby lying on the floor next to the door in the kitchen crying. I couldn't figure out at first what on earth he had done. It sounded like he had just run his toy into the door frame. As I scooped him up into my arms to examine him I noticed it looked like he had a door frame shaped dent in his head. I loved him up and took him outside to let his Daddy look him over. He quit crying and his dent started turning into a nice little goose egg. I still don't think my heart rate has returned to normal. It scared me to see him so upset and to see him hurt.

Later when we were having bath time I asked him if he had an owie and he reached up and touched his head where the knot had come up. He held it a few times tonight when we played and I finally decided maybe it was a good idea to give him a little bit of Tylenol before bed. I'm really hoping that tomorrow his head feels better.

It was an eventful ending to our great day together. We had a comfy clothes and movies day at home. We wrestled and tickled and acted silly. So I am going to close this eventful blog about our first head injury with pictures of our fun day together before Mommy had a heart attack and Talent had a headache.
