The Fat Lip

We all set out for Jaxon's game on Friday. I always love watching his games. Well, I was feeling more like a circus trainer trying to keep the girls sitting down and under control. Bryce was playing with his friend above the gym. Next thing I know I hear his friend's mom calling my name. I look over to find poor Bryce crying and covered from nose to chest with blood. He just kept sobbing "mom, mom" . I could tell he was freaked out. Poor thing. Plus everyone around us started freaking out which didn't help the situation. One lady asked if I needed her to get the trainer. I tried to downplay the whole thing to get Bryce to calm down. And of course my mom was there and she helped calm him down. So I sat him down to get a closer look and I'm not gonna lie--it was pretty bad. One of his teeth went all the way through his lip, there were two large cuts on the top of his bottom lip, and he had four loose teeth. Luckily they are baby teeth. It was so sad to see, but as soon as I sat him down and told him it wasn't so bad, he calmed right down and he was so tough. I think he was just scared by all the blood. We took a picture with my Dad's camera phone to send to Trever.

When he made it home I cleaned his face up to take a picture. Yes, that is one of my favorite shirts I bought him from american eagle--ruined. Oh, well. It was funny because he didn't want to take off his shirt until Trever got home to see it. I think he wanted to show his dad how tough he was.



Here is a close up. You can't see the spot where his tooth went through, it is underneath. It is also all black and blue inside his whole lip. Poor kid. Traumatic!

UGh! Poor little guy! That had to hurt. I'm just sorry I wasn't there, i would have freaked out so thourougly I could have easily drawn away that extra anxious attention from him. It's a skill. I'm thinking we need some christmas/new year pampering?!? Because we're worth it, just like L'oreal cosmetics.

It's also a skill of mine to mispell words in comments. Bloody no spell check in comments! Oh well.

Poor guy. That is one fat lip. If you still have the shirt, I have gotten blood out of clothes using dish soap. You have to srub real good, but it works. Miss seeing you around at work!
