whew!

Grace fell yesterday and hit her lip, Rick said it bled pretty good. No chipped teeth so I didn't think another thing of it-just a nice fat lip last night. In the bath tonight I noticed it looked pretty yucky...the skin above her gum appeared to be not attached it was a little alarming...

So after their bath I googled like any respectable Dr. Google would do and I found this:

"Cuts and bruises of the upper lip are usually due to falls. A tear of the piece of tissue connecting the upper lip to the gum (upper labial frenulum) is very common and always heals without sutures." www.connectwithkids.com


Of course I had to make her pose for a couple boo boo pictures!  Won't she love me for this when she's older??
