Carter's Latest Injury

Well yesterday it happened again! Carter had a blow to the face, but this time, not the center of his forehead...that is good news!

It all started when he and Caden bumped heads on the trampoline. He got a little bruise under his right eye. Then later in the afternoon, they were inside playing in this very, very large copier box Cory brought home. I am pretty convinced they were jumping off their beds into this box, but Caden won't admit to it. Anyway, Caden says he "accidentally" pushed Carter and he fell. No one can tell me what he fell on, so I am not sure. Carter is a boy of few words, so I am really unclear what happened. He is fine now, but these pictures were a little sad and I know Gigi wants to see how bad it really is!

This is right after it happened, while I was doctoring it up.
A sucker makes anything feel better!
Here is a close up
Daddy doctored it up and gave him a band-aid.

He seemed fine later that evening! He slept all night and doesn't seem too bothered by it today. So I guess we are okay for now. I was going to take his 2 year pictures this week, but I guess I will wait!

Those are sad pics, poor guy! I read your potty trainging post. I am NOT looking forward to that! Needless to say, I haven't even tried with Rhett. I figure he's had enough life-altering changes the past month or so. Into a big boy bed, moving, a new baby, etc. I'm not sure I would be up to it right now either..

That poor kid!! This one looks like it really hurt!!! Good thing you pray for God to protect him, can you imagine what would happen if He didn't!!!

Poor baby--but a sucker and a bandaid always makes things better! And what is that tub of borwn smeared-ness in the background? Mud Pie Mix?

Looks to me like he just needs a Grammie kiss and hug!!
I can't figure out how to post anything except under anonymous, sorry.

Yikes! I'm wincing on that one. I'm glad he is okay, and that it wasn't much worse! (Do you think like that? I'm always terrified of the wound at first, and then end up thinking, "Man, he could have knocked another tooth out!" or something along those lines, and that makes me glad for cuts and bruises! :-)

Okay this is what I want to know, when your child gets hurt, do you first bring them to the kitchen and then go get the camera and take pictures of the process or do you fix him up and have him pretend through the re-run process? lol

Poor Carter! Of course, this is just the beginning of these experiences! He did end up looking pretty happy - good thing he is a tough kid. Had to laugh at your potty training post - glad it is you and those days are long gone for me - wait a minute, I guess they're really not :)

Okay to answer a couple of questions...

Dawn, yes that was a mud pie mix, it started out as a car wash for their cars outside and ended up like that!

Sarah, I took pictures after I iced it a little. I had to document it for the blog! I knew the grandparents and Cory would want to see it first hand! I am a bad mom I know!
