Bloody Boy Incident #1

We had our first bloody incident with BubbaJ yesterday.  Of course my husband was at work when it happened.  Why does no one ever get hurt when he's home?  I mean seriously!  He's the one teaching them all kinds of dangerous things and yet I'm always the one who has to deal with the injuries.  Anyways, here is how it went down.  The girls come running to me asking, "Why is BubbaJ's mouth red?"  I didn't quite know what to think because they were extremely calm.  When I saw him, his whole mouth was red with blood and his shirt was red.  I rushed him into the bathroom to find out where it was coming from.  It took me a long time to figure it out because it was bleeding so much I couldn't pinpoint the origin of the blood.  I finally determined that it was coming from between his top lip and gum.  I called my husband to see what to do next.  I think I more needed him to calm me down than actually tell me anything, but he knew just what to say to me to keep me focused.  It took a while to stop the bleeding, but it finally did.  I gave BubbaJ some Tylenol because I felt so bad for him.  A couple of times throughout the day it started bleeding again, but stopped relatively quickly.  I'm sure we will have plenty more bloody incidents with a boy.  And I'm sure that my husband will always have the words to calm me down.
