Bump on the Nose

I'm sure very few of you are too interested in Jonah's bump on the nose. That doesn't sound very thrilling, I know. But, I'm one of those moms...you know the ones who think everything their child does is cute/photo worthy. I say that as though it has negative connotation...but really, I'm proud to be one of those moms! I hope I drive him nuts with all the photo taking through his life, cause that means we've documented lots of memories. I am so glad that I grew up in an era of cameras. I am glad my mom has so many pictures of me as a kid. I wish there were more pictures of my mom as a kid, or my grandparents even.

Anyhow, I digress. We're talking about Jonah's injury, aren't we. Well, last Sunday night we were at church. Jonah was walking around and tripped (on his own two feet, I believe) and fell. Flat on his face. I guess his reflexes aren't quite cat-like yet, cause he wasn't able to catch himself with his hands. He caught himself with his nose. And it bled. Immediately. It was probably enhanced by the runny nose he's been having and the dry air that comes with winter. And I will stop before I get too graphic! If you are squeamish about injury-type images, you may not want to look at the 1st one. Consider that my fair warning.

Let me just say, I am so proud of my cute boy. He only cried a little bit. It was still bleeding when he quit crying. He's just that happy of a kid! And of course, he smiled for the photo. What a cutie!

 I just noticed how the lighting of this one makes it appear as though he is a floating head!

The next day I was checking to see how he looked. I thought he'd have a bruise. All I found was what I believe is a little rug burn. Even that isn't very bad and is nearly gone now. I've said before that I think he has a high tolerance for pain. I also believe he is pretty fearless. I'm in for it. This is not the first, nor last of his injuries! And THANK the GOOD LORD he didn't knock out any teeth. He doesn't have any to spare!
