My little boy is adventurous- he's the one that fell down the stairs and scabbed up his nose. He just can't hold still. He's always been more mobile then his brother. And, unlike his brother, he can entertain himself, and handle being left in the crib to cry. He's a headstrong little boy, and being so you'd guess that cuts, scrapes and bleeds would come with the package. Well you'd be wrong.
Yes, his laid back, easy going, "I'm just going to cry till you carry me upstairs," brother has somehow managed to be my bleeder.
*OK so there was one time when they were teething and I gave my little boy an un-moistened ice cube to suck on and by doing so caused him to rip off a chunk of his lip. I felt horrible! But other than this incident there really hasn't been a lot of bleeding for my little boy.*
My big boy has had 3 mouth bleeds, and two finger bleeds just since Easter. One of these mouth bleeds happened just from the simple act of crawling. He tripped over his hands, and his tooth managed to cut his lip. Sadly this tooth has also been the victim of a shopping cart fall. The finger cuts mostly come from playing with pop cans.- yes I let my children play with pop cans. I realize to prevent cut fingers avoidance of pop can playing would be key, but sometimes they are throwing a fit and you are so tired and that pop can is close and it's such an easy fix. Surprisingly we've had very few cut finger incidents. And most of our incidents have come from one child. I'm sure you know which one that is.
Yes my laid back boy keeps us hopping. Perhaps it's because of the added cuddles he gets from mom when she sees actual blood coming from somewhere.
