Split Lip

Ruby split her lip open yesterday afternoon. She was walking to the kitchen with an Easter basket on each arm, bumped the island and went face first into the corner of a wall. I saw the entire thing since I was about to hand her a snack. Blood poured from her mouth and she burst out crying. Luckily she loved the "all betters" from the freezer (thanks to our wonderful neighbors for the idea of freezing old teethers) and calmed down a few minutes later. After I cleaned her up, Norah gave her some head pats and a kiss before heading home with Grandma O'Brien. Ruby and I spent the rest of the afternoon cuddling, watching Sesame Street and eating cold ice cream. Ruby enjoyed being spoiled but didn't seem to care one bit about her lip. I actually think she cried more when we wouldn't let her play outside since one neighbor has pink eye. I know I'm biased but I think Ruby is one tough kid.

Here she is with a boo boo and fat lip this morning:
