I'm a mother. I'm allowed to panic.

So.... Little Bit took a tumble this evening. I'm normally pretty good about just saying, "you're okay. Just shake it off." Not tonight. Tonight, she had what appeared to be a river of blood flowing from her mouth.

I panicked. She needed comforting, and I was headed out the door to the hospital.

Thankfully, Little Bit has a daddy who can keep a calm head in a crisis. He insisted that we just needed to see where she was bleeding from and everything would be okay.

Of course, that meant temporarily stopping the river from flowing. Which in a crying 2 year old is easier said than done.

To make a long story short, she tripped over Daddy's computer bag when she was running in the house (which is a no-no), busted her lip, got Mommy snuggles, and got to have ice cream BEFORE dinner. :D

Like I said, I'm a mother. I'm allowed to panic. And to blog about it.

(I'll post a picture of the swollen lip tomorrow. I'm sure it will be black and blue in the morning. It's already looking puffy.)

  1. Oh, poor sweetie! Hope she's doing much better. Ice cream before dinner?? That had to help . . surely would've helped me! :)

    Give her a hug and kiss from Aunt Boo, okay?! Poor thing.

    Although, I'm really glad it wasn't something terrible!!

  3. Yeah, I can see your chill husband, who has spent a lot of time in Iraq being calm over a busted lip. He's a good man.
