It was a Guys Night In on Thursday, as your mother pre-celebrated Jayme's wedding with the girls.
You decided to take this opportunity to plow head-first into the coffee table. I immediately grabbed you and hugged you tightly as you began to cry, realizing moments later that I was getting blood all over my shirt.
It was at this point that I really began to panic.
I scrambled through our phone list, frantically trying to figure out if I should call your mom, our pediatrician, 911 or Dr Drew. After about 30 seconds of this, I realized that you had just cut your lip a little bit and were already starting to calm down. So I wiped off your face, gave you some antibiotic and read you a book.
Now some might argue that in the Epic Battle of Drew vs. Table, you were the obvious loser, having been so terrifically bloodied. I, however, would argue that within a few minutes, you were doing fine, while it is the table that will bear the permanent scar...

Take that coffee table...
I'm so proud of you daddy. You handled that like a pro! :) Must be your mad Child Life skills that you have received via proximity to the best CCLS ever.

When a kid gets hurt, you must say "You are okay so don't make a big deal about it" before holding him, even if he is bleeding. If he is bleeding, you should change your shirt first.
