Busted Lip

Annabelle got caught up in a pom pom attached to my sweatshirt this evening, and she tripped and fell on her sweet little face, as a result. She almost caught herself from falling onto her face, and she barely even hit her face, so I thought she would walk away without a scratch.

I thought wrong! Why should I expect anything else from my accident prone daughter?

I picked her up, and her lip was bleeding. She was busy trying to stain her clothes with blood, and her Daddy was trying to hold her hand away from her clothes to keep her from staining her clothes with blood (because she got blood on her fingers). I asked him to grab some paper towels and to wet them so we could apply them to her lip. He was also sweet and kind enough to remember her "Freezer Teether" to apply the cold "Freezer Teether" to her lip. He was so proud of himself for thinking of it, and he should have been!

She got over it very quickly though. I told her while we were trying to stop the bleeding with the wet paper towel that "I hope this doesn't send us to the emergency room this evening." She didn't cry very long, and the bleeding stopped almost instantly. Thank goodness!

Here is a picture of her later with her busted lip! My poor baby!
