It's been a rough couple of days for Erik. The kid never seems to catch a break. Here's the rundown of his battle wounds:
- Yesterday, while walking around with a plastic pole in his mouth, he tripped and scraped the roof of his mouth. Yes, he drew quite a bit of blood.
- Not five minutes after the previous incident, he slammed his hand in the dryer. At least he didn't draw blood.
- While playing in the pantry, he dropped a can of sliced pineapple on his bare toes.
- According to Taylor (I was trying to vacuum my stairs and wasn't witness to the casualty), Erik "fell down on his belly and mouth" resulting in Erik biting a hole straight through his bottom lip. This one drew even more blood.
- At least this one was on Kent's watch. Erik tried to pet our neighbor's dog, but the dog ran away. So Erik face-planted on the pavement.
Here he is after the latest mishap.
(Yes, we had to get a picture, even though he was crying.)
Some of you might wonder what's going on at our house that is resulting in such gore. This, my friends, is it:
I'm pretty sure this is what he was doing before he bit the hole in his lip (at least I was actually doing housework as opposed to watching the latest episode of "What Not To Wear.").And yes, about 1 minute after taking this picture, he fell face-first off the cooler again. But at least he caught himself with his forehead and not his mouth.

As I type, Doug as at the ER with AShlynne getting her lip derma bonded, cause she feel and her teeth went through her lip! poor thing, twice in two days she has a fat lip!
I love the bloody lip picture--thanks for keeping it real. You're my kind of mom for sure. =)
Seriously, I love it. I should make a post about all the shiners Eric got. He was such a go getter. One day he leaned to far out of the cart at Target and dented the floor with his forhead. I was sick. The employees just stared at me. It was kinda scary, but stink... they have no idea how fast those freakin kids move! He's fine. I hope.
What doesn't kill him will make him stronger.... He's going to be one tough kid.
He is so much like his dad. Kent was about 6 when he jumped off a chair to grab a balloon and came down on the chair and bit through the bottom of his lip. It bled forever.
Oh man, that's quite a picture of your little warrior. Poor guy!
Like his mom.
