We really need to get Alex a helmet... with a face mask

Third time's a charm.

... and I'm not paying for another ER visit.

After breakfast, Alex was running through our room on the way to the stairs when he did a little spin move through our doorway and smacked the jam.

The result: a split lip that bled worse than the others.

So we calmed him down, got a wash rag, stopped the bleeding and surveyed the damage: two cuts on this lip from where it curled up over bottom teeth and got punctured by the top and bottom teeth and a small tear to his top gum.

Alex has asked that we not take pictures of it and put it on the blog... and Min agrees.

We don't need CPS knocking on our door.

With this being Texas, I should be able to go to Academy Sports and get a junior sized football helmet right off the shelf, shouldn't I?

maybe a hockey mask would protect his face a little better. His head seems ok lately.
