Gavin Fall Down Go BOOM!

I have been telling everyone that Gavin has now officially graduated from baby to boy. Thursday morning the director of the daycare called Miranda to inform her that Gavin fell and cut his lip. The director wanted Miranda to come down to take a look to see if she thought he needed to go to the emergency room for stitches. As you can imagine, we were both a bit traumatized by the initial description of Gavin's injury. Thankfully upon further inspection the cut wasn't really that bad.

Gavin was walking while he had his teeth over his lower lip...he then proceeded to fall and smack his chin on a toy bin. He ended up with a nice little cut just below his lip, a fat lip, and a nice strawberry on his chin. His teachers said that he didn't even cry. Which is funny to us because he has become quite dramatic when he falls the least little bit while someone is watching.


Miranda went and picked him up and took him back to the high school. They made a visit to the school nurse who advised Miranda that the cut was probably small enough that no stiches or dermabond was needed. The bleeding had stopped totally by the time that I got to the high school. Gavin was just enjoying all the attention from the teachers, nurse, secretaries, principals, counselors, random strangers, etc...

The pictures look quite a bit better than what he looked like after the accident. He didn't miss a beat though, and was back to his normal routine in no time. He looks sad in the pictures because this was right before bed, and he was very tired - not because his lip hurt. This picture was too funny....

  1. Bummer!! Just the first of many, however. It seems to go with boys. He looks so pitiful in the close-up. Kiss that fat lip for us.
