On Friday evening Javier and I had plans to go to dinner with our friend Melissa, who was in town from Florida for surgery. My mother-in-law, Julia was kind enough to babysit, but this evening she preferred to watch them at her house. This plan is nice because generally they fall asleep there and we get a rare opportunity to sleep in just a little. We were minutes from being out of the door, when Marley informed us that Jaxon needed a stinky diaper change. Usually she is correct in her observations, so Javier decided to help out. While Javier took Jaxon off the top bunk-bed, Jaxon was hit by the ceiling twice in the head. One of the hits was right in the center of his forehead and it must have been at the perfect angle because it gave him a decent laceration. 
I think it's pretty cute that he seems to be pointing to the injury =]
I think it's pretty cute that he seems to be pointing to the injury =]Poor Jaxon and poor Javier (he still has guilt, even though is was an accident) for being in this unfortunate predicament. I know that facial injuries bleed a lot, but oh my there was lots of blood. Jaxon, being 2 didn't want to stop touching his forehead and wouldn't leave a band aid on. We considered taking him to the ER to get stitches or the glue stitches, but within 10-15 minutes it stopped bleeding on it's own. Jaxon actually left a band aid on his head for a record time of 15 minutes and that really helped to stop the bleeding.
Again, with the finger. I love those little hands.
I always take pictures of serious injuries, I guess I find them a little interesting (I'm sure it's part of my medical genes, which I have no interest in pursuing=]). As a result, Christopher and Marley are pretty terrified of getting even remotely close to the ceiling fan, not that I blame them. Jaxon, on the other hand, is still kinda fearless and that makes me nervous. However, both Javier and I are extra, extra cautious while chasing down our cute little troublemaker from the top bunk. Oh, and after I took these photos of Jaxon, he decided he didn't like his scab and yes, he picked it completely off! Gross and OUCH! I would imagine that would hurt, just a little (or a lot)!
I realize posting a picture of the bloody t-shirt he was wearing at the time of the accident may be a little gory, but it's more for my documentation than anything. I apologize in advance if this photo is unsettling, but I had to include it. I'm sure this shirt is ruined (WalMart shirt, oh well), but that's okay as long as he's okay. And that he is...OKAY, Thank God! Oh, and his diaper was clean...

Hi!!! I had no idea that you had been updating your blog. It's so cute. I knew you had one (you told me a while ago), but I didn't know you were posting new stuff. YAY! You are SOOOO great with the hari-dos. No surprise, of course. They all look so cute. Marley's hair is really growing out.
And OUCH for poor Jaxon! Tell Javi that it's okay. Q accidentally caused Tyson to split his head open quite badly when he was 3. It needed 4 staples and still has a bad scar.
Hello! I didn't know you had a blog at all. I just read through the entire thing. How fun! And I too have had SO much fun with new hairdo's on my girls. I don't feel well, but they still have cute knots today. Cute hair is a must! All the do's you did look fantastic!
And what a bummer about Jaxon's head! It looks so painful. Sorry about that!
