The Family I Love: My Poor Little Buddy

My Poor Little Buddy

This morning I took Jayden in to get some dental work done. He was so awesome. I was so impressed. He was an angel and so very brave. I brought him home for some breakfast with a numb lip. He had a Spiderman Popsicle, for being so brave, and a cold smoothy. I didn't want him to bite his lip. I had to get my girls ready for swimming lessons, so I laid him in front of a movie while I lathered the girls up with lotion.

As he was watching the movie, he was apparently gnawing on his bottom lip like it was a piece of meat. I just about died when I saw his bloody lip. It didn't even cross my mind that he would just CHEW on it. I was worried about him biting it while he ate, not while he just sat to watch a movie. His lip swelled up like a balloon. In these pictures the swelling is down quite a bit, but its gotta hurt.

Jayden LOVES to make jello jigglers. So we did this to occupy his time.

His lip is actually doing way better than I antisipated. He isn't even acting like it hurts, yippee for the mommy.

Klare said...: I can't believe they didn't warn you to keep an eye on him at all times until the numbness wore off. At my office we always warned parents. That happened to one child even after we warned the mother, she brought her back to ask what we did to her lip, we told her her daughter chewed and took a picture for our keeping to show parents what can happen if they don't keep an eye on them. The picture worked.
So sorry but I'm glad he hasn't complained about it!; June 23, 2009 at 12:04 PM

Emma

Emma, who is 10, loves music and feels it inside. I LOVE to listen to her sing. When she knows a song well she can belt it out strong. She is not one that needs a microphone:) Her daddy loves to spend time with her singing. Often times he plays his guitar while she makes up songs. When Emma isn't singing, she is playing outside, or with friends. She wishes she could go camping more often and last night she informed me that she wished she lived in a place that had tons of lizards, animals, snakes, bugs, etc... I think she needs to go to the rainforest.

Sadie

Sadie, who is 7, is the jokester of the family. She is happiest if her joke actually makes someone laugh:) She has started a funky jazz dance class and seems to really enjoy it. It is fun to watch her work so hard at doing the splits. She loves anything girlie...make-up, dress-up, sparkly, etc... She prefers not to do any chores or housework:), but is getting better at it. She is known to pull everything out while playing and not be too interested when it's time to clean up. Mommy usually says, "Well, I'll do it, but I get to do what I want with it." That usually means I will throw it in the trash:) It's amazing how quick she moves once I volunteer!

Jayden

Jayden, who will be 5 in July, will start kindergarten real soon. He wasn't excited to do so, but is now accepting the idea that he won't be with mommy forever. Jayden loves to ride his bike, scooter, jump on the trampoline, and play with his friends. He loves to spot race cars and hear their engines rev. For some reason he can spot a mustang a mile away. He also loves to pretend that his bike is a motorcycle and he makes revving noises while he rides. He loves his sisters and enjoys playing with them too. He is very loving and tells me many time a day, "Mommy, I love you!"
