Lm's Recovery

As mentioned in my previous blog entry, Lm split his lip trying to play Tarzan from Grandma's wall rosary. It was really scary-looking that night, 3 times the size of these photos and I was near to tears but trying to stay strong for my baby to calm him down. It's been a rough few nights, as he's woken up in the night (2:30am) and wants attention and ibuprofin. My poor little bird! So I've gotten very little sleep. Last night was the first night I got 7 hours in several nights.




Mostly he's been a happy boy except when I put the Neosporin on. He loves the taste of the ibuprofin and has been asking for it non-stop (he gets it only before bedtime!) by saying, "Mommy! I want more med'cine!" Lk is super jealous that he doesn't get any. It has a sweet candy flavor to it that they love. When I was a kid I never had that luxury! I remember it tasting really disgusting.

Here's my boy building a tall tower.

I go, "Oh, I love that tall tower!" and he said, "No, Mommy! It's a pirate ship!"

Well, ex-cuuuuuuse moi!

In the end, we were really lucky; his teeth did not go all the way through his lip and no stitches were needed. Though I called often, we didn't actually have to endure a trip to the dr's office either.

Wish I could say Mom's rosary was doing as well...it's broken in like 3 places and might be tough to repair...
