I guess it was bound to happen and actually in the 8 years I have been a parent, it has never happened before. Today we had our first bloody nose and it was a good one.
Jacob and Micah were running around outside playing with their friends and Naomi and I were in the kitchen making cupcakes for Jake's birthday. All of the sudden I hear a huge thud outside and then screaming. Right away I knew it was Jacob. By the time I got to the front yard where it happened they boys had run to the back yard. Micah dashes up to me "Jacob's bleeding!"
Those are not words that you want to hear and I pictured his teeth out or a huge gash somewhere but thankfully it was a bloody nose. Jacob was running and tripped and he hit his face right on our front sidewalk and then his friend running close behind him, tripped over Jacob.
It bled pretty good and it got on his clothes and my hands. I did what I knew to do for a bloody nose. Then I called my Mom to make sure I was doing the right things and I was! Thanks Mom!
His nose is really tender tonight and starting to bruise. We'll see how it looks in the morning!
