Oh my gosh. Sometimes I seriously don't know if my poor heart can actually take raising a boyo. Anyone got a girl they wanna trade? This boy plays HARD. He was running up and down the hallway a little bit ago and fell on his face. He does that a lot. Immediately he gets up and runs crying to mama - The only time I actually get snuggles is when he has hurt himself. I cradled him and got him laughing again. Trying to calm down my own heart. Everytime he face plants like that I'm afraid he'll knock himself out and I can't imagine anything scarier than watching your kid fall on his face and stop moving. So I let him get back to running around and about 5 minutes later when he's ready for a nap, I pick him up and notice that he has a bloody nose! Not a lot of blood, mind you. It wasn't running down his face, or I'd have noticed it sooner. Just a little splotch under his right nostril. But good lord, seeing your baby bleedin' is enough to make you wanna call 911!!!

He is either going to kill himself or give me a heart attack, I just know it. I'd highly prefer imaginary tea parties over all these bumps and bruises!!

Hate to tell you this, but getting a girl is no guarantee they're not going to be rough and tumble. My dad imagined tea parties and ribbons when I was born too.

Instead, he got 2 broken arms, 4 broken ankles, 3 cracked heads, a broken nose, a broken finger, a broken tailbone and 2 broken tendons. Oh, and one ruptured appendix in a pear tree. Good thing he only had one of me!

My son broke him arm, yes broke, but continued playing because he didn't want to stop playing with friends. This kid has a huge tolerance for pain. Got tetnus shots last week - didn't phase him at all. My daughter wined for the next 3 days. LOL

Hi Sallana
You worry too much. Men (even baby men) are tough. We like pain!
We take a licking and keep on ticking. Ever hear the expression no pain no gain. It's in our genetic code to inflict pain on ourselves. It's how we learn not to run into walls full speed or juggle knives or jump off the roof with an umbrella parachute. We can't learn any other way. I hate to tell you but that's how boys are.

My kids get bloody noses all the time. It's the valley and the heat, so it doesn't bother me. But sometimes when they last for an hour it does start to concern me. just remember, he's not supposed to tip his head back like we were told when we were kids..... It'll be fine.

How old is your young man? Age makes a difference here....

That's exactly what my husband tells me. But just because you can take pain doesn't mean you're immortal. All it takes is falling the right way. And that's it. I have a very vivid imagination and that is the cause for most of my worry. My kid has big wooden block in his room with different activities on every side and on the top. Yesterday he had tipped it on its side and he was standing on top of it when I found him. The block is no longer in his room. Why? All it takes is him falling, and then cracking his head on the wooden floor. Boom, concussion.

You men may be made to play hard, but we woman are made to be smart. And worrisome.

As usual you are correct that's what women are for or the race would be extinct (picture cavemen waiting in line to jump into a volcano because it looks cool).
Men don't think any further than "hey I can climb that".
You are a good mother and I'm breaking guy code protocol here - we just hurt ourselves to get some good mommy quality time. A little pity and a kiss where it hurts and maybe a cookie.

One thing to keep in mind. The little pains of discovery at a young age may save the big realizations later in life. We must let our children fall in order that they learn to stand back up. And childhood bones are very very resilliant.

Girls are no better! Livi did this exact thing last week and her nose bled and scared me half to death.
5 years off my life and a dozen new gray hairs...and she was off and running again in less than 5 minutes. Sigh.

Wait, you had an umbrella parachute?

I was SO much smarter. I had my Wonder Woman underoos and my homemade cape and gold-painted bracers (courtesy of my dad).

Btw, it still didn't work. Enter broken wrist and concussion.

I never had underoos. I think one of my brothers would have given me an extra beating for that.
