 This is how yesterday started out...

And then this is how it ended....

 

I've learned that lip wounds are horrible.  The amount of bleeding that occurs is no bueno.  I always have two thoughts when Aylen gets hurt--1) I love this child more than ANYTHING in the WHOLE WIDE WORLD, and 2) How do people hurt children???  It never fails that these thoughts pop in my head.

It was tough because he busted his lip just in time for me to cuddle with him, get him to sleep, and then head off to my weekend training.  It was so hard for me to leave the little guy-but thankfully he has an AWESOME daddy that I knew would give him loving.  And thank goodness for Aylen's Auntie Laurel who assured me that it would be okay and heal fast.  Bless nurse Aunties!

I swear, I love that little boy so much.  I feel like this is all just the start of things...there will be more falls, more bleeding, more sadness.  And I'll always be on the other side...wiping tears, kissing boo-boos, and just telling him-"It's okay sweetie. Momma loves you.  It will be okay."  Even when I'm freaking out inside because he's hurting.  Thank god for Russell.  Seriously, Russ has always been a rock for me.  And I look to him so much to say..."Yea Meg.  It will be okay."  And when he says it, I trust him.  I trust him so much:)

Darn.  I'm kind of emotional today.  I'm blaming pregnancy!  Who knows.  But I'm thankful for my family and for being a Momma!

Muah my family!

Love,

Momma
