The boys were out back playing this afternoon and I brought them each a cup of water then came back in. I sat something on the kitchen counter and then heard crying...normal so I didn't hurry! Caden starts banging on the back door telling me Carter feel off the porch. Again, I don't panic but go outside and find the little one crying so hard he is holding his breath and laying on his back. I pick him up and bring him in to notice this giant goose egg.
This was taken about 10 minutes after so he had calmed down and was back to his smiling self. I tried to ice it some, but he was having none of that! I gave him some Tylenol for the killer headace he probably has, and wiped the tears away! He is now playing like no big deal. Even Caden commented though..."Wow Carter that is one huge bump!"

Hey, I am right there with you, I have done that to my children a million time!
Oh, that poor, sweet baby!
I am the same as you....always telling the boys, "Say, I'm tough!" when they get hurt.
But there are those times when they REALLY need mommy!
I will never forget one time I heard Colin....I was in the kitchen and the two older boys were playing outside on the swingset, right out the window, and I was watching them. I thought at first that I heard Colin laughing really loudly...then I realized he was shrieking. Screaming with fear would be more like it!
Turns out, there was a BEE right between his sandal and his sock! Luckily, for some reason, he had chosen to be 'fashionable' and wear socks with his sandals that day, otherwise he would have probably been stung several times! Luckily, that stinky bee didn't manage to get thru the sock, so there were no stings....but there was much trauma left behind with poor Colin!
Poor kid is still freaked out of bees to this very day!
You are such a good mama, and Carter is such a sweetheart, this little bump will just make him tougher! I think Carter really looks like Caden in this picture.
Kara, WOW Just another reason to thank God that He is the great physician. He saved Cader, that could have swollen inward instead of outward. Thank you Jesus

Poor Carter!! I too have met "Mother of the Year" nomination criteria more than once!! Ha!
Poor little guy. That is quite the goose-egg. But I see he's back to his smiling self!
