biking boo boo

well, as usual, i have lots to catch up on, but i had a major accident yesterday that i wanted to tell you about. when i was at school, we got to play outside for 2 hours straight because it was really warm and sunny out! (this time last year it was snowing once or twice so this is really cool for me...i hated winter last year, just like mommy.) i was riding a bike and i guess i lost my balance and fell right on my face--ouch! i got right back up and kept riding. yeah, i knew my mouth was bleeding and it hurt, but i was having so much fun. my teacher miss amanda noticed that i was bleeding pretty bad and ran over to me to see if i was okay. i guess i wasn't, but i don't know why i couldn't keep playing! i just wanted to ride my bike. well, my teachers wouldn't let me, but i kept hanging onto those handle bars as hard as i could and was dragging my bike with me as they were trying to get me to let go. i just didn't want to go inside!

miss amanda called my mom and let her know i was hurt. she told her how i busted my lip and it was pretty 'fat.' but, she told her how i was a big boy and didn't cry until they took my bike away! she told mommy that she didn't need to come get me, but mommy said she would after lunch and nap and hopefully i'd feel better after nap. oh boy was she ever wrong!

when my mommy got there, my teachers stopped her before she came into our classroom and said, "are you prepared to see him?" mommy thought they were just being silly because i had a "fat lip" since that's what they told her on the phone. but then they told her how bad it had gotten after just a few hours. i was being good though. i took a good nap and played like normal, but i was kinda sad. my mouth was hurting really bad and it was so swollen it felt weird. i kept trying to lick it thinking it would go away, but it was just really, really FAT. well, mommy tried to put on a good act when she walked into the room. my teachers warned her they had never seen anything like it! she tried to smile like she was really happy to see me, but ended up just picking me up and hugging me. she just kept asking the teachers why no one called her when it got bad, but they swore to her that i was being really good and i was, really. i acted just like normal and tried to eat lunch and play and nap. and mommy and my teachers all thought that maybe my sucking on my pacifier and laying flat while we took our naps didn't help. i'm not sure why, but they told me that made my lip more fat probably. mommy just kept hugging me and hugging me and i put my head on her shoulder. i was so glad she was there. all my friends just kept looking at me all worried and my teachers told her how we all get sad when one of us gets hurt and boy did i get hurt this time!

we left school mommy gave me medicine right away to try and make me feel better and then she called daddy to warn him that they may have to take me to the hospital! oh no i thought! not there! i'd rather go see dr. paul...he's so nice. i still remind them of that a lot. i like dr. paul. mommy tried to call grandmama but she wasn't answering the phone. i could tell mommy was worried, but she made me smile, even though after that she told me not to--she kept asking if it hurt because it looked like it hurt. when we got to grandmama's house (i say "mamaS house" and say the S really hard...it's just my thing i do since mama is now mommy or sometimes even just mom now i can call grandmama mama or mima [mee-ma]), mom went to the door and talked with grandmama for a minute until grandmama opened the car door and leaned her head in. i was so glad to see her, i wanted out! not that mommy doesn't take good care of me, but grandmama does too and always see mommy, so when i get to go to grandmama's house, i just want to see her! grandmama let me eat ice cream and then we went outside and crushed ice cubes and made me special ice water to drink (i don't like putting ice on boo-boos). then i got to watch 3 episodes of little einstein's in a row!! wow! grandmama and mommy took good care of me and my mouth started to look a little better.

when we got home, mommy made me a really special dinner of cinnamon spice oatmeal and vanilla yogurt! mmmm!!! that made me happy. then i got to lay in mommy's bed for a while after i played with daddy when he got home. oh, and before bed, i got to talk to my grandma in georgia and my great-grandmama! so, the day didn't turn out too bad after all.

today i feel better. daddy gave me more medicine this morning to help me feel better, but i made sure to say YEAH! when they asked me if i wanted to go to school this morning. i want to go ride my bike again!!
