Carson's Goose Egg




This is Carson's bump after he and his friend Matthew bumped heads on Monday. This was taken after the swelling had already reduced somewhat.

I had just calmed Madison down after she fell off of the kid's picnic table onto the concrete. I took Madison to her room to change her diaper and noticed the boys playing on Carson's bed. The next thing I know, both boys are screaming and running around the house looking for me. I found both boys running circles through our kitchen/living/dining area. I finally stopped Matthew and then Carson came around the corner. I always try to keep calm when one of the kids hurts themselves but I panicked for a moment when I initially saw Carson's head! After calming the boys down with a movie and ice packs I was able to get the story: Apparently Matthew wanted to go play outside and left Carson's room expecting Carson to follow. When he did not see Carson behind him, he ran back to Carson's room to find him. Carson was following, just a little slower. They ran into each other full speed, head on. Matthew got the best end of the deal with just a little redness from the impact.
