The price of hair gel...


(All smiles a few hours after... and sportin' that gel!)

My little Luke loves to have his hair gelled. Seriously. He will get it out of the drawer, find me and beg to put it on. He also likes to help. It's really hilarious.

Friday I put Luke up on the stool, but failed to push the stool close to the bathroom counter. Sure enough, Luke reached for something on the counter, lost his balance and hit the edge of the counter right in between his eyes. I'm still trying to figure out what happened to my "mom-like" reflexes. I'm blaming my slow reaction on lack of sleep. :)

It swelled instantly, but luckily, there wasn't a huge gash. I tried to put ice on it, but he refused. I was able to get some ibuprofen started. Poor boy.

We've been tracking the progress of his battle wound...

A few hours after - swelling went down a bit but it's hard to see actually how swollen it is...

This little guy is so busy... I'm sure this is just the beginning. :)

I can't believe how much he's grown! It seems like yesterday he was a little baby, now he's a little man! It's so fun to keep in touch via the blog!

Evan won't let me do his hair :(
I want to do the whole thing: the gel the spikiness, the blow dryer...it's a battle with him
On another note I am so glad he is doing OK!
