For the record, Kieran had 4 accidents in the span of 1 hr last night. He was fooling around on the bed and put his blanket over his head and walked right off the bed!! Fortunately he landed on his side before his head hit the floor. It was more of a big fright for him than the ouchie on his head. It was scary to just see him walk right off the bed and we couldn't even catch him in time. *Actually I wonder about life, what if we don't catch him in time, what if in life we didn't catch him and he ends up in a huge ouchie??* After he recovered from that episode, he started tossing in the clean laundry on the floor and then he slipped and knocked his head. Strike #2. This time, it was fortunate that he was on the floor already, so he didn't really hit hard. Then, he was still gung ho, started to play inside the shallow laundry basket doing his boat rowing. Usually he sat inside and just rowed, but last night, he tried leaning onto the side, the basket tipped over and he nearly knocked the TV drawers, strike #3 and a load of crying and yelling cos he was frightened. And one would think that Strike #3 is the last, he had to have a 4th accident and this was really the ouchie and scary one. Again he went into the basket, leaned forwards and this time, he wasn't near enough to the cupboard to stop the basket from toppling over entirely and he fell right on his face on the floor. Started yelling again. Initially we thought there was nothing. Daddy picked him up went to the bathroom to clean his tears and noticed that his mouth was full of blood!! I got a towel and ice to stop the bleeding and tried to ice the spot. I thought that he had cut his lips but soon realised that there was no cut, and he wouldn't open his mouth for me. After crying for quite awhile, he allowed me to dap the cold cloth on his mouth and I saw that his lips were bruised and I think he was bleeding from his gums (front tooth). I can't get to the tooth and so until now, I don't know if the tooth is shaky. Anyway, I thought he was going to have trouble eating and drinking today, but surprisingly, he could drink water from a cup, took his milk and lunch with no problems today. And his lips were still a little swollen!! So #1, I think his teeth is fine. #2: children just have amazing powers of recovery. If i bruised my lips that way, I couldn't have eaten for the next few days!! #3: Kids just "bei zhai si"!! they just go at it again and again.. *4 accidents???!!! woah...* I don't want to experience it again!!
