Play hard or go home!

The boy LOVES to jump, crash, wrestle, and head butt anything that he can go over, under, through...Today he decided he wanted to fly like "Buzz Lightyear to the rescue!" and took a header off the couch into the coffee table. He managed to split his lip, and cried for a while. But, then when he saw the blood on the cloth he thought it was too cool! He was fascinated that the "blue lines" of blood in his body turn red when they come out. This picture was after he was done crying and was checking out the cool blood. I told him I wanted a picture of his owie so he made this pouty face. What an actor!

Axe+hand= bloody mess

Yesterday the hubby was chopping firewood,using an axe as a hatchet and not wearing his gloves like he usually does. So, he managed to chop directly into his palm. This picture was taken today, 24 hours later, after it had been bandaged and washed. It was also immediately after he took a shower, so it was cleaned of all the dried blood and goop. It is a miracle that this is all the damage he did. It needed stitches, but he refused to let me take him to the doctor, instead preferring to "just slap some bandaids on it." Today I convinced him to at least put the liquid bandage on to seal it. I told him it was not going to heal correctly or as quickly because of the lack of stitches, and he said he didn't care because it would be a cool scar....men.
