TOES! OUCH!

Okay. Another week, another ouchie. Aiden is a little Boy after all.

Aiden had been feeling under the weather over the weekend, and daddy was feeling a little poorly himself, so we did not attend our zoo class this week, not wanting to pass germs on to the other kids in the group. So when we should have been in class, instead we had another accident.

A couple of weeks ago Daddy got a Wii and Wii Fit to try to use it to lose some weight (2 weeks and 4 pounds gone so far, but that is another blog). Daddy decided to get his work out in early and was doing a free step class. About 5 minutes in I thought it might be good to use mommy's little dumbell weights along with the stepping, so I grabbed them. Well here comes Aiden wanting to participate. He grabs one of the 2 pound weights, then promptly drops it on his big toe.

I didn't think it was much of a big deal at first, didn't even realize he had actually hit himself, just thought he was angry because he couldn't hold the weight. Then I saw that his toe was bleeding. Then there is the rush to get the bleeding to stop and see the extent of the injury. He was an unhappy camper all the rest of the day and did not let me clean up the blood all day, so it looked pretty horrible when mommy got home and she wanted to take him to the doctor, thinking it looked swollen.

Well, thanks to Aunt Dawn, who is a doctor, we saved ourselves a trip to the doctor's office. There really wasn't much swelling, he could move his toe around, and had put weight on it, so the cut seems to be the worst of the damage.

No pictures of this particular injury. But we should have some good pictures coming soon.
