Total heart attack!

Every mom who has a son knows that there will come a time when stiches will be needed or a bone will be broken. Alex is 5 so o figured maybe that point is past and who knows, I got off lucky. Then last night happened. I knewthe kids were goofing off, makinthemselves dizzy then trying to walk around- and that when I heard it BOOM. I will admit I have never been the 'panic' mother- I've been more incline to teach my children as babies to laugh when they fall, get back up and move on. True to my style when o heard the crash I waited for the next sound and it was indeed crying, bui still waited to see what would happen. Alex sure enough banged himself good and was coming down the hall in tears, an the poor kid musta still been dizzy because I heard him crash into the hall closet on his way out. Still not one to make a fuss and escalate the scene, I waited for him to come out. The poor little man was holding the front and back of his head sobbing, so I scooped him up an cuddled him trying to find out what happened. That's when I noticed it- the blood. Alex still didn't notice it himself so I tried to distract him while grabbing a paper towel- I had to see the damage. When guess who notices what I'm doing? Michaela. "Mom, is Alex bleeding??? " "No!!! He's not " I tell her all the while trying to motion to be quiet and off alex goes screaming about the blood. All in all he was ok. Checked for a concussion, he was good. No stiches needed. What can I say? He's a boy.
