Discovery

Apparently, I am not able to handle copious amounts of blood coming from a small child's nose. How do I know this, you ask? Well, dear friend, I came thisclose to fainting while dealing with the Mother of All Bloody Noses at 2:30 this morning. If you're squeamish, don't read on ;)

Josh woke me up at around 2:30 saying he had a runny nose. I could tell from the light emitted by the alarm clock that it was more than just a runny nose. In fact, the boy was covered in blood... quite a sight! First mission... get the nose to stop bleeding. I failed. As I woke Jay up and asked him to help, Josh started - ahem - expelling the blood that he swallowed. It was disgusting and alarming! As he was finishing, I could feel myself getting light headed and told Jay he would need to take over. My ears started ringing, the room started spinning so I beelined it to the bed. Super Dad was able to get the nose to stop bleeding and get the mess cleaned up. Yay for Super Dad!! Needless to say, Josh and I stayed home from school today and got some much needed rest.

On to less disgusting happenings...

We took Kenna to go pick up her new glasses yesterday. She loves them (we'll see how long that lasts.. ha!) and they look really nice on her face. I think they make her look a little too grown up, but I have a feeling that will be a recurring theme for the next, oh, 20 or so years!
