Fat lip

I had an extremely full day yesterday with scout stuff (the kids loved all the "prizes" I picked up at the Dollar Store), so Brent took Felix on a long walk to the store. On the way, Felix decided he would like to walk for a while and he tripped and pulled out of Brent's hand. Poor kid face planted right on the sidewalk.

After bleeding all over, it looked like he smooshed his nose pretty good, caught his upper lip, and bit his tongue.

It looks like he got into a fight. Combine that with the finally-receding rash, and the kid is a piece of work.

If he gets through toddler-hood without permanent mental scars I'd be surprised - except for the fact that most children don't start forming long-term memories till they're about three. Thank goodness for that!

Poor kid :-(

He's accident prone like me. I wouldn't worry to much about it, it'll just make him a tougher kid.

Scouts? I thought you taught nursery. Glad Felix's rash is getting better. Hope his fat lip does too.. . at least before he gets sick or gets another owie. Poor kid.

Scouts and nursery. I'm the assistant Cub Pack leader (I am in charge of all the advancements), and I'm a nursery person. They don't conflict all that much.
