Owen took a tumble yesterday evening, breaking his fall with his upper lip on the edge of the coffee table. His two front upper teeth, only in for a couple of weeks now, nicely incised the inside of that lip. Blood and crying ensued. Actually, there was a good bit less crying than I had expected. He kept sucking on his upper lip, presumably trying to figure out why it was getting so puffy and now had a metallic taste. He also gave one of his "Bbbbbbb"s while the blood was still flowing, which made for a nice spray.
I should note that he didn't completely break his fall with his lip. His head bounced a bit, then he tried breaking his fall with his forehead. This, also, failed to completely break the fall - though it has given him a nice bindi - so he gave up and just went the rest of the way to the floor.
We're so proud that he is active and mobile enough to start hurting himself.
Naturally, the horse having left the barn, a pad now covers the edge of the coffee table.

You need to invest in a "Boo Boo Bunny"
You may think that a plastic ice cube in a bubby slipper won't make your son's bleeding stop any faster or his pain any less, but the "Boo Boo Bunny" has unfathomable healing properties. It's like the Elfin bread that keeps the halflings going.
