First Blood

We had our first bleedout today. Julie kept Sam home to go to a party with Joey and all the other compound kids. Sam, unsurprisingly, can be a handful, even when he's being helpful.

Joey was in the crib while Julie went to get diaper changing supplies. She came back in the room just in time to see Sam offering Joey a big plastic toy -- by more-or-less hucking it over the side of the crib. Needless to say it landed square on Joey's nose.

So the baby is howling and bleeding, Sam is abjectly apologizing, and Julie is encountering (as it turns out) her first bloody nose. Luckily, Joey had pitched his forehead onto the crib rail 5 minutes earlier -- yes, it bruised -- and they were all going out in public. *sigh*

There are times when I'm glad that I work.
