First Injury...

of many I'm assuming.

I had to work late last night. I didn't get off until 6, and I'm usually home by 4:30. Nick went and got Dommie and all was well. Until -

Dommie crawled over by the laundry room. We have a big gate wall up but Nick had opened it to go change the laundry and Dominick sure doesn't miss an opportunity. He crawled onto the tile and must have slipped. He started screaming and Nick immediately picked him up and consoled him. He said it took about 5 minutes but he calmed down. When Nick was soothing him, Dommie had his face buried against Nick's chest. When he was calm, he pulled his head up and that's when Nick saw the blood. A lot of it. On Dommie's face and all over Nick's shirt.

He did what I would've done - he freaked out. Our neighbor is a nurse and Nick ran Dom next door. Laurie looked at Dom and it appeared that Dommie's bottom teeth cut into his upper lip. He was, and still is, fine. No real damage. But being from the mouth, it bled a lot.

Nick called me and told me and I'm just thankful that I wasn't there! I would've really freaked out. Dom was a little off last night. Just not himself. And still a little upset this morning. But his teeth look fine and I'm sure he's going to be happy again when I pick him up.

His first real injury. And seeing how daring he is, I'm sure it's the first of many!
