Baby Bumps


No, no one is pregnant. Yesterday Taylor and Lylee were fighting over a yellow marker. Finally, Taylor pushed her off of her chair and she hit her mouth on the table. Instant screaming from both children sent me running into the room. Lylee was covered in blood (You may remember something very similar happening to Taylor this summer). Lylee was crying because of the fear, blood and pain. Taylor was crying because he hurt his little sister and the big bloody mess showed him just how much he actually hurt her.
Anyway, Lylee split her top lip, and also had a small gash inside her upper gum. Everyone went into overdrive, making sure no teeth were broken or missing and trying to get the bleeding stopped. Grandma and Grandpa came over just in case we decided to go to the ER. We decided this wasn't necessary, based mostly on our earlier experience with Taylor.
Yesterday evening, we were at Grandma's and tired little Lylee fell down the short flight of tile stairs and split open the inside of her bottom lip!
Yikes!!! Was I ready for the day to be over!!! Both kids were exhausted last night and went right to sleep.
The pictures are of Lylee this morning. She's fine as long as she doesn't play with her fingers in her mouth, then she starts bleeding again. She's happy though. How are kids so stinkin' tough?
