My Little Trooper...Caution! Graphic pictures!

Picture this...8pm on Saturday. It looks like we might just get both kids into bed by 8, 8:30 tops. Ava hightails it into our bathroom to get her teeth brushed. An extremely loud THUD! sounds. Silence then an "Owie!" Ava starts screaming. Brian is quick to follow her. I am frozen. Ava has split open her head after running fullforce into the wall. Not her smartest move. However, after severely bleeding (head wounds tend to do that), a run to CVS,

a call to St. Vincents 338-KIDS line, a call to my parents and his parents (not in any particularorder), she is semi on the mend. She has already began to recap the incident. "I ran into the bathroom, hit the wall, split my head open...then I got my blanket and I am all better." Now we just have to monitor her all night and wake her up every 2 hours...not sure what is worse-the getting up part or the fact that she is going to be CRANKY tomorrow.

Jack and I are still recovering from the evening. Poor guy! He takes after me in that blood and gore are not our top picks. He went to bed lickety split!
