The Big Fall!

My poor little baby took a fall down the patio stairs last night - he really did a number on his nose and face. I was BBQ-ing and the neighbor boy was talking to me over the fence, trying to sell me magazines. Sean had come out to see what we were talking about, and then we heard B crying. He is alway so good going down stairs the "safe way" - ie backwards, that clearly we take that for granted. He was bleeding, and of course we both were so worried to see what was bleeding. He took out a little divit of skin right under his nostril, and he bonked his head good. He also had a little bit of bleeding at the gumline around his front tooth. Our neighbor is a nurse at Childrens Hospital so she came by last night after her shift. She checked him out, and by that time he had eaten a huge dinner, and was running around the living room like a crazy person - "showing off" for her. He clearly felt OK, but he sure did cry for a long time. It was terrible. The first piture is last night before we gave him a bath, and the second is "the morning after."
