Well, we had our first big accident yesterday. I was packing for our trip to GA on Sunday. I had finished packing all of Sophie's clothes and went to Josiah's room to work on getting his stuff together. He followed me into his room like a good little baby duck. I went to open up the curtains, and he followed me over to the window. He tripped over his own foot and fell forward and hit his face on the bench window sill. He scrapped his nose and bumped the bone under his left eye pretty good along with scratching his eyelid. As soon as I picked him up, his eye was bruised and swollen--it was that fast! I called Chris at work, and we decided it would be best to call the doctor and see what she wanted to do. They decided that it would be best to have him checked out. So I pack the kids up and Chris makes his way home. We arrive at the doctor's office, and she feels like we need to go ahead and get some x-rays. The reason she decided to do this was because of how quickly he bruised up. She said his injury looked like it should a day or two after the accident and here it was only a couple of hours. She wanted to make sure that he didn't fracture anything. After she got done checking him out--he was running a little bit of a fever and had a runny nose--we head over to the radiology office. Chris said that Josiah did an EXCELLENT job when it came time to have his x-ray done. The tech there said that everything looked great and there weren't any fractures--PRAISE THE LORD!! Needless to say, I felt horrible about the whole thing--I guess it is because it happened on my watch and it was the first accident we have had with him. Chris had to keep reassuring me that I am a good mom and that it was an accident. I was so upset by the whole situation, I threw my cellphone away!
By last night, I was feeling better. I guess we should be very
thankful that Josiah made it 22 months without having anything major
happen to him!On a brighter note, Sophie is doing a tremendous job with sleeping! She had quite a few nights in a row where she slept 9 hours!!!! She is no longer screaming when she is in her car seat and tired---that's a good thing since we have a LONG road trip to GA coming up in a few days!
Now, when she is in her car seat, she fusses a little bit and then goes
right to sleep. Chris and I have asked, "Whose child is this?"
Seriously, we are very thankful for this maturing because the drive to
GA could have been extremely long if we had to listen to her scream the
entire way! Well, I should get going--Josiah has gotten up from his nap.
