Got a Gusher!

My poor baby boy. I think he broke his nose last night. He totally takes after his mommy and is a complete CLUTZ!! I grew up with a permanent goose egg on my head. I think I finally stopped the goose eggs around. . . 14 or so. (mom can confirm.) Anyway. Last night, JG tripped and face planted on my kitchen floor. Didn't trip on anything but his own two feet. His nose started gushing immediately and bled for a solid five minutes. I had blood all over my face, shirt, jacket and Todd had blood all over his hands and arms. Needless to say, JG was also painted red. I called my dear friend this morning whose son has had a couple nose breaks. She told me that he first broke his nose at 18 months. There isn't really anything they can do about it right now and statistically, if a kid breaks his nose before the age of 3, he's likely to break it again at least once before 18 yrs. So, he doesn't look too crooked, but JG's nose does look a little different to me. We'll see how it fares over the coming days. He also busted both lips . . . .again. I've lost count of how many times he's busted those lips. Poor, poor baby boy. He may LOOK just like his daddy, but he came out with some of my genes after all.
