Memorable first day

The kids had an absolutely wonderful first day! They were so full of stories and information when they came home. They were very wound up and chatty...it was very cute! We celebrated their successful first day by bringing McDonald's in for dinner and shortly after that JR and dad were off for football practice. They hadn't been gone 15 minutes when HT started swinging on the furniture. I was opening my mouth to tell him it probably wasn't a good idea when his hand slipped and he went face (particularly nose) first to the floor. As long as I live, I'll never forget the screams or the look on his face...he was looking at me and it was as if he was begging me to make the pain stop. I was holding him and trying to comfort him when JC started screaming. HT had bit his lip at impact, and as with any facial injury, there was a lot of blood, followed shortly by blood coming from his nose. My mother happened to call right then and she suggested having an x-ray taken just to confirm that the nose hadn't damaged any sinuses. Fortunately there was pretty much no one at urgent care last night and we were still able to be home by 8:00 with the news that nothing was broken. The nose is still very swollen, but I was surprised that the lip wasn't more swollen, and there are no black eyes. He's still uncomfortable this morning, but Tylenol is doing wonders! Before bed last night I asked him what lesson was learned and he replied, "Don't fall." I then asked how we could guarantee that he didn't fall and he responded with, "I need to make sure I have a better grip." Apparently in his mind, NOT swinging from the furniture isn't even an option!
