cole got clocked!

ow, ow, ow!
in june, mama got her first, "you need to come take cole to the hospital" phone call from my teachers. i had my first REAL accident on the playground. i was standing at the end of the slide when another kid slid down and whacked me right in the mouth with his shoe (by accident). i was bleeding so bad and my teachers were all looking at my mouth because i had a really bad cut inside. i didn't want them to put ice on my mouth though because it hurt so bad, so i was allowed to have a popsicle instead! then they called mama and told her she needed to come as quick as she could because they needed her to decide whether or not i should be taken to the hospital. mama did come as fast as she could. she said she left everything on at work and left all her work behind and just left. she was so calm when she got there. she picked me up and got all my stuff together and packed me and everything into the car and took off calling dr. paul all at the same time. she had decided that since i had already stopped crying and my mouth wasn't bleeding anymore i didn't need to go to the hospital. we went to grandmama's to wait for my doctor appointment, which was an hour later. funny enough, grandmama had surgery on her mouth the same day so she couldn't talk good either and her mouth was all swollen too!

when we got in to see dr. paul he came in right away to see us. i was busy playing with the table and drawers and stuff in the room, but stopped to shake his hand hello as mama told me to. i made sure to say "ah" when he needed to look in my mouth. he said i just had a bad cut inside my mouth on my gum and on my lip. i also got a little bump on my forehead too somehow and on the left side of my mouth outside too. mom took this picture three hours after the happened and the swelling had come down A LOT (it was DOUBLE this) dr. paul said mom had every right to be worried and whoever got me "clocked me good"! so, no stitches this time and i was allowed to have all the popsicles i wanted--not usual in our house.
