Goose Egg!!

Well, it finally happened. We had to go to the pediatrician because of an injury last night. Yes, Daniel fell, but good, on the driveway yesterday afternoon and landed not on his hands but his forehead. Though I was concerned when it happened, he cried right away, which lead to icing right away and the need to cuddle right away. He bounced right back up after about five minutes and was his happy little self. So when Mike got home I said "before you look at Daniel, he fell this afternoon and has an egg on his head." Of course just right then Daniel turned around and this is what Mike saw:


Personally I like this photo better:

At that point I said, "I think am going to call the pediatrician just to make sure I am not overlooking anything." With that I called and of course they wanted to see us given Daniel's age. Long story short, he is fine and nothing is wrong with him other then the big, soon to be purple and green egg in the middle of his forehead. Just a little parent note, apparently the best place to fall on your head is in the middle of your forehead and signs one should look for is vomiting, not eating, sluggishness and not being just right within the first six hours. If any of those signs present themselves you should head to the ER and have one's head scanned. Luckily all we needed to do was see the pediatrician, which Daniel did fabulously at. He did not cry once and let her do everything she needed to do without a bit of fusing!!

One goose egg down with plenty more to come. Boy, it is nice to have normal toddler issues!
