Ben's Haircut and Owwie




So a week ago this past Sunday we all decided to venture outdoors because it was nice and sunny and Ben climbed the stairs on the front porch to yell at the "kee" (kitty) in the window and when he was climbing back down the stairs he fell on his head in so many places!! First of all, his forehead had a pretty big cut in it, and it was dripping blood pretty badly so I pressed my hand against his forehead and ran inside with him. I then wiped his face with a wet washcloth as I applied pressure with it to the cut and the bleeding stopped to the point where I could release the washcloth without it dripping more. Then I cleaned him up a little more because he had blood everywhere.. in his eyes, around his nose etc, and I noticed he had a line straight across his face from the corner of the stair, so the poor kid's sensitive nose was even hurt. I had just given him a haircut either that day or the day before too.. He's healing well! Brad went out and got him some foaming antiseptic anti bacterial stuff and liquid band-aids and butterfly bandages and gauze AND baby tylonel so we doctored him up! He still has a cut on his head, but the other scratches have healed up!!

Ouch! Right in the middle of his head too... I like the haircut, though. He looks like such a big boy. But what's he doing still sucking on a pacifier?

he actually only usually uses them at bed times unless he gets really cranky during the day, we're working on that haha
