So, we have had several interesting days lately... there's never a dull moment! Well, thank goodness Gabe slept all the way through the night 11-7 on Sunday night, I think the Lord knew I needed the rest to handle Monday's events! Jayce fell right before nap time on Monday... AGAIN... this time he was trying to dump out a ladle full of Sierra Mist into our bathroom sink... which I told him to put in the sink, "before he made a mess..." little did I know what a mess would follow...I was nursing the baby in the kitchen, at the computer, as I'm doing now, and Jayce starts screaming and comes out with a mouth full of blood... well, ya'll know how I am with blood, not a fan... so first thing I did (after pulling Gabe off and setting him down screaming, b/c he's starving...) was to pick Jayce up and then call Jay... making sure someone else would arrive in case I needed to pass out... Thank goodness, I never did... my motherly instincts kicked in and I made it through the gory mess... I finally got him cleaned up and figured out he'd bitten his tongue, and there was quite a deep laceration... it finally stopped bleeding once Jay had gotten home... We decided that it would probably heal on it's own and that we'd go on and let him nap and see how it was when he awoke... well about then, it starts gushing blood again, and I call Jay back and tell him we'd better head to the dr... So Jay took him and it was a good thing b/c Gabe had been going through a growth spurt and pretty much wanted to stay attached to me all day long that afternoon... Dr. said it would heal on his own if given time, but remember we have a toddler who LOVES to suck his fingers, especially when upset... it is his source of comfort... And we had a very tired boy who deperately needed a nap by 5:30, but we were afraid to leave him alone in his room... in case he bled... so Jay drove him around to nap so that he could watch him... And then the challenge that night was to try to keep our starving boy (b/c he'd not eaten since lunch, and anything he put in his mouth made it bleed more), and hurting boy (crying, "I want my mouth to stop hurting"), from putting those fingers in his mouth... And, he wanted Jay... Jay is such a good daddy and they have such a special bond... He wanted Jay to hold him all night, and hold him he did... It got to be 10 and I asked Jay if he'd even eaten, and he had not... he had a glass of coke and headed on up to sleep on Jayce's floor beside him that night, so that he could watch him... He said he did not sleep a wink b/c he wanted to keep his fingers out of his mouth... Is he not the best daddy? So, long story I know... but it was quite an ordeal... Anyhow, Jayce's mouth has not bled since, and a scab has formed so we're hoping he's ok now...
And, one last BOY story... this one made me even sicker than his mouth... last night, I'm out with friends having a girls night out (plus Gabe... but he was very well behaved, so it was just fine)... Jay was taking Jayce for a stroll around the hood in his red wagon, and Jay said that Jayce kept mentioning the dead bug that was in his stroller... he is very obsessed with "getting bugs", whether it's stomping them with his feet, or picking them up with tissues, or vacuuming them is the latest with my handheld Oreck... ANYHOW, last night was something new... I cannot believe what I"m about to write, but it is true... Jay said he turned around and saw Jayce chewing... well there was no food in that wagon... Jay asked him what he was eating... and he said "A BUG"... Jay said "what????" He said I was hungry daddy... OH MY GOODNESS< my baby ate a bug... has anyone else had any problems with bug eating????
ON a positive note, Gabe slept last night 10-7:30... yea! And, I think he's over his growth spurt b/c he's been back to his 3 hour schedule so far today... hallelujah!
