Anika fell backwards off a chair (after being reminded repeatedly to sit down).
As I was reveling with an acquaintance about how great it was to have just one child with me at the library, Anika pulled a large computer monitor over onto her thumb. I was panicked on the bill of the monitor (which was fine), Anika walked away with a stamp and an ice pack (way to reward my negligence).
But BJ wins the prize for the most significant "owie" in the house. We attended an au pair party (think 75 or so families plus au pairs) at a local splash pad park. BJ (I think) was really showing off for Brandon since he hasn't gone with us to this particular park. He decided to climb a 6' tall rock tower and wave at his mom from the top. Brandon warned him that he needed to be careful, he might hurt himself, but he reassured his father- 'I got this, Dad' and then proceeded to fall off, slamming his face into the rock on the way down. Brandon was right next to him, but couldn't grab him. Luckily he landed on his feet, but was spitting blood everywhere when he landed. Sweet boy was in a ton of pain and very scared, but has been brave ever since. His face looks really bad, but the worst is a cut inside his lip- all the way up. No stitches, but lots of ice, soup, and Popsicles. He has really struggled with eating ever since- only soft, small foods- and nothing acidic- he's definitely missing eating our wonderful cherry tomatoes this week. But after driving home from the incident, he did decide to visit the neighbors for some extra sympathy- so I think he'll be okay.
Day 0
