the kid just needs a helmet and a padded room

by sesame on March 15, 2010

because i can’t take the toddler injuries.

it looks so much better in photos, but it was a doozy.  not sure exactly what happened as i rounded the corner right after it happened to be greeted with the red-faced-silent-cry-before-the-high-pitched-scream followed by much wailing and frantic signing for his bunny.  two things i do know, it involved his head and the corner of the house.

Arnica gel is the life saver for all moms with toddlers who toddle into walls, fall down cement steps and can't seem to get around the coffee table. It instantly takes the sting out and lessons the bruise. Try it yourself the next time you hit that soft spot on your upper arm and you'll be amazed. I even used it after dental surgery and the bruising on my jaws was considerably less (went quickly to that yellow stage. Not for open wounds. thank goodness your little twin is going to be fine. (I think it's a good idea to take pics of the bumps–kids seem to remember the incidents and it's nice to be able to tell them how brave they were.)

the poor wee love! what is it about boys?? my DS has always been prone to this kind of thing. but it rarely happens to my DD. i'd like to say, they eventually grow out of it, my DS is 8 & nearly there. still, it makes your heart sink whenever it happens doesn't it?

I just want to touch it and make it go away – not that I have that power. But if I could..

Isn't that pre-scream, deep breath the worst? It makes my heart beat a little faster just thinking about it. Luckily they heal quickly.

oh-no, such a bad boo-boo. We are new to this chapter of bumps and bruises (my son is one) and we hate it! It is so tough seeing them get hurt :( I hope he feels better soon!
