From what the daycare worker told me, he and his best buddy, Kempson, had run at each other wielding doll-sized plastic cars. Only those two know what their intent was; the result was Matt being slammed with the toy right on his kisser. His front teeth bit into his upper and lower lips causing blood to flow everywhere. Face wounds always bleed more than is warranted, so at first I didn't realize how badly he'd been hurt. As the blood slowed, I saw the scuff mark on his chin, the raspberry between his nose and lips, and some deep cuts on his lips.

I could tell his mouth hurt him yesterday, even after I gave him some pain medicine, but he was still a cheerful little guy. He's just like that. It's hard to get him down for long. Today, when the above picture was taken, he's practically back to normal. He hates it when I put Vaseline on his lips but he lets me because I told him it will help his lips get better.
Steve warned me to get used to this happening. A friend told me her oldest son bit clear through his lower lip TWICE.
Heaven help me and all other moms of little boys.
It's a good thing I don't drink.
Thank God for chocolate.

Poor little guy! I'm glad he's feeling better! Every boy is different; people said that to us and the only kid who's been to the hospital is Eli, three times! (broken collar bone as a baby when the other kids fell on him, smh, febrile seizures two years ago, and last year a trailer came down on his big toe and almost severed the end! It healed really weird but at least it's still there, lol. You're doing a great job!
These stories freak me out. I'm so glad he's okay! And I'm glad Eli is, too!
