Dru's First Stitches

He was playing with his cousin Donovon at his daddy's and fell and bit his bottom lip open. His dad called my house phone, let him know and they headed to the hospital down the street from their place. I guess they both felt it wasn't something they could just text and tell me so I found out when I got home. I talked to Dru's nana about it and it was bad. She told me it was pretty much a chunk out of his lower lip. He had his daddy, nana and papa with him so I decided not to trek the forty miles to be with him. I also figured I could baby him and hold him when he came home to me the next day. Everything went well. The doctor sewed about five stitches to repaired his lip. No chunk was taken out, he just split it pretty bad. Dru's best buddy, Mr. Bear, was covered in blood. I cried a lot. His my baby boy and even after a terrible fall he had after he slipped on the tile after a bath this was the worst injury he's had.

He has also started a new habit when he's with me. If he doesn't fall asleep right away in his crib he will strip down to nothing. Then he will usually pee. It is awful. He was doing it about three times a week and that meant washing sheets, a pillow and Mr. Bear three times a week. After telling my sister about it she advised me to duct tape his diaper on. It worked. Last night he only stripped down to the diaper. No pee! No sheet changin'! Here's the most interesting pic of the stitched lip and duct taped diaper. Love his hair too. He just exudes, "I have a wonderful Mother".
