Bump Bump...

This morning I got a call from school telling me that Alexander fell and bumped his head on a shelf. They said he didn't cry and was in good spirits. They were putting ice on it but he appeared fine. There was no action we needed to take they just wanted to make us aware of the situation

They then called Dan because they didn't get in touch with me and since they spoke to him they said they were going to take a picture to show us. He asked if he was groggy or his eyes were glassy to check for a concussion and they said he was fine, in his normal mood, and his eyes were fine. They were going to keep ice on it and keep us posted as the day went on.

Here's the picture of the poor little guy...

This is the best picture I could get of the bump & residual bruise on the bridge of his nose...

Incident Report Part II...

Tuesday, Dan had to sign another incident report. However, this time it wasn't because Alexander scratched/slapped/hit/bit another child. Thankfully. This time, Alexander & some friends were running around the room and ran RIGHT INTO each other. So technically nothing bad happened but this is the school's way of letting us know how kids get bumps/bruises, etc.

Alexander got a bump on the bridge of his nose/forehead area but after some ice & TLC (the medical treatment they provided - it was written on the report), he was back to his old self. Last night, it wasn't too bruised but you could tell he bumped his forehead.

When he woke this morning it was bruised a bit more but doesn't appear to bother him or hurt if you touch it, so that's good. Guess we have a full-fledge little boy on our hands...I'm ready!

Things that go bump in the night...

Merry Christmas Eve...ours started out on a potentially interesting note.

Alexander woke up at 5:20am but fell back to sleep until about 6am (yah!). I got him out and brought him in our room to get him ready for school, this way he'd be able to watch Elmo while I got him dressed.

He was sitting patiently in the middle of our bed with his monkey & Elmo, watching Sesame Street. He decided to cuddle a bit and play "night night" (it's where he lies on his belly and pretends he's going to sleep). He squirmed around a bit and then decided he wanted to stand on the bed. I held his hand but told him to sit down. He did but then got right back up. Then he went over to stand by Daddy's pillows. I asked him to sit down again and as he sat down, he slipped.

Yup, this is where your stomach flips.

He slipped and rolled towards the night stand. He bumped his forehead, right above his eye, on the night stand. He must have just missed the corner with his eye by a few inches. I thought for sure I was going to be rushing him to the ER to get stitches. But I remained calm so I didn't freak him out. I looked at his forehead and it was already red and bruising. But no cut or blood. We'd be fine. He cried a bit but as I rubbed his head he calmed down pretty quickly.

What a way to start the morning...Merry Christmas to us!
