going to think

today started out pretty rough.  i think i got a total of three hours sleep last night.  the kids are in a funk and madelyn had to go to her room three times to calm down before 7:30am.  i had a full work day with several meetings and was concerned about how things were going to go. 

thankfully, they settled down before my first meeting and were playing very nicely and very quietly.  unfortunately, there was a thump, mason crying, and madelyn running to their room and crying.  i was almost done with my meeting so they just had to wait (it wasn't serious crying so i wasn't really too worried).  i figured it was just more of the same - not sharing.  i muted my video meeting and told mason that i was almost done and would be right out.  he stopped crying and went back to playing.

once i came out i saw that he had bit his bottom lip.  i cleaned him up (there was a little bit of drool blood) and gave him an ice pop for his lip.  then i went to see madelyn. 

she told me that he had bumped his head on the wall and that she didn't help him do it (when i asked her to show me where it had happened, it seems more like he tripped on some toys and bumped his lip on the block table).  i asked her why she ran straight to her room to cry after it happened.  she said that she "came in to just think."  so i asked what she had to think about.  "the weather."  and that made me smile/laugh - and why i did this post.

mason is fine and it was a very minor injury.  you couldn't even tell by the time he finished the ice pop (which he shared with madelyn so there were no hard feelings if she had helped him into the injury).  love.
