Ouch!!!!!!!

Kirstin and Jeff wanted a Mom and Dad get away without the kids. So we got them for the weekend. It went pretty well. I was off picking up pizza for dinner and I came home to chaos. Kellan was playing on our (actually Tana's when she was a kid) giraffe riding toy. He was apparently moving and must have leaned over the head of the giraffe, changing the center of gravity and tumbled head over heals onto the asphalt and did a face plant. Kellan's nose and especially his upper lip were very bloody. One tooth cut a lip. Dropping the pizza I took over caring for this terrified little boy. I needed to stop the bleeding but he didn't want anybody to touch it. So a wad of Kleenex in the hand, placed gingerly on the wound, a little squirming, and success. But the bleeding didn't stop for about 15 minutes. But it did stop and he seemed to forget about why he was crying. Mom and dad were called and the situation was explained. They stayed on there get away. I am a pitiful sight. But you know what? Skin grows back. It's one of those miracle things we are blessed with.
