Things that go BUMP!

Little boys are accident prone, throw in a child (Ethan) with an unbalanced head and large feet, and a Daddy that is also accident prone, and well, bad things happen.  It started with a trip to the park and a scraped knee.  Bath time rolls around and we slip in the tub (water had been drained) and bump our teeth.  Then a mark on the cheek from who knows where.  He falls in the back yard after playing all afternoon and now has a scratch on the back and on his head (found only at bath time when washing child's hair).  While playing with what seemed like a thousand cousins last night, he takes a couple of steps away from where he had been standing, and into the path of Jacob on his skateboard, who had no time to stop and down goes child flat on his back.  After a good snuggle and kiss from mom, he wants back down, only to trip over my feet trying to get back into the action of play with all the others.  At this point I decide if we cannot stand up with out falling, then it must be time to go home and go to bed.  Fast forward to the next morning and we wake up with a swollen top lip.  As Chana put it, it looked like a duck bill.  My poor baby!  What did he eat or do that would cause it?  We ended up at the ER only to determine that an infection had set in do to him bumping his teeth a week ago when he slipped int he tub. Keep in mind we this has all happened since we have been in Utah, that has only been 1 week.  I guess nothing says vacation like a trip to the ER
