fat lip

well, it had to happen sooner or later, she busted her lip on the new tile floor in the kitchen. :-( and here i've been worried about a concussion...

We were playing hide and go seek, which is funny, so i'll explain how that usually goes. I'll start by saying "i'm going to go hide..." She'll watch me go around the kitchen island and i duck behind the stove. when i hear her coming, i stand up so i can see the top of her head and which direction she's going, then i run the other way. i wait until she's at the stove and i'm on the other side, then i run low behind the sectional in our family room (the kitchen and family room are really one big room). Aria will then come around the sectional, and i scare her. she laughs lots! and then she gets excited cause now it's her turn to hide. She'll say "hide, hide, hide, hide!" and go in between the couch and the coffee table, and lay flat like a dead frogger. adorable. i have yet to take a picture, though i've tried because she's in that position all of 1.3 seconds, then she's popping her head up to see if i'm coming. i am, but usually not from the direction she expects. so she gets excited and laughs and screams. props go to my mom for teaching Aria how to hide.

well this time, i ran around to the stove, and as i'm standing up to run the other way, i see Aria fall on her stomach and hands (still has a potbelly). and for some reason, after she falls, she lets her head go down a bit too much and hits her mouth on the tile. it really didn't look like she hit it that hard. well, there's that silence before the storm, and she starts crying. I say "aww come here, it's not that bad." except she's doesn't want to stand up and she's screaming. so now i'm worried and by the time i get over to her to pick her up, i see 2 drops of blood on the tile (thank goodness we sealed the grout... HEY! I'M A GUY). so now i'm a little freaked out, my first thought was "i hope she didn't break a tooth." that would suck. well she's got blood coming out of her mouth, so i clean her up with a wet paper towel. all 16 teeth intact - phew! All the while she's crying and putting her hands to her mouth and i'm trying not to get blood anywhere, especially her clothes. oh i also wipe the blood off the floor too while holding her. i eventually get her to calm down, and i take a look at it. not too bad, just a little cut on her upper lip. this gave her a fat lip. i don't know why i feel the need to document it, maybe cause i think it's little funny. is that so wrong?!
