good news, bad news

the good news is, avery rolled over for the first time.

the bad news is, it was OFF the sofa in the back porch.

the good news is, matt was home.

the bad news was, matt was home.....and had to witness my hysteria.

the good news is, there appears to be no signs of brain damage.

the bad news is, a big 'ol goose egg appeared almost immediately.

the good news is, mama has learned her lesson.

the bad news is, she had to learn it (and so did Ave) the hard way. i mean really hard way. as in right on the cement floor hard.

ouch.

oh amanda!! i totally know what you are going through. i think every mom has learned a lesson like the one you describe. it really is the first in a long line of bumps and bruises your little boy will get. it doesn't make it any easier as a mom, but it is good to get the first big scare out of the way! i'm very glad that he is ok!! you will be, too.

and many more bumps to come . . . here's a trick. Put a little honey on the bump next time and it makes the swelling go down almost immediately. I have no idea why, but an old Mexican woman taught this to me when I worked with kids and it shocked the hell outta me cause it totally works. Oh, but don't let him eat the honey cause it makes babies sick.
