When It Hurts Mom Too

If there's one thing that will stop me from being an irritable mom it's a real-life injury, no matter how small. Ellie fell today and bit into her upper lip with her tooth. I literally had to pull her lip off of her tooth. I can't stand blood, especially when it's someone else's, and especially when it's coming out of one of my girls. She was so sad and kept asking me to get a band-aid for her lip. How do you explain to a 2-year old that you can't put a bandage on the inside of a lip? Her sad little face was a small arrow to my heart! Right now I don't even mind that she sometimes picks her nose and eats it! For the rest of the day I'll just have to hold her tight and be grateful that her little fall wasn't worse. (Heaven help me with a boy!)
