From Lucas, with Love

This morning when Lucas brought me the top to our water pitcher I asked him to return it where he got it from and to close the fridge door. Lucas really didn't like that idea so he decided to swipe at me with the hard plastic top and caught me right on the lip (I'm not sure if he was actually trying to hit me or not.) Instantly it started gushing blood and I was VERY VERY VERY angry and wasn't sure what to do. Right away he was all "I sowwy Mommy! I kiss it! I kiss it! Sowwy!" I think for the first time he really got the message that when he hits someone he really can hurt them.

I tried to put him in time out but for the first time in a long time he would not stay there and I was too busy trying to stop my lip from bleeding and trying to put ice on it to keep walking him back to time out.Instead I did the most extreme thing I have ever done to him(at least in his mind).... his blanket "baby" went to time out for the whole day.

The picture does not show the blue and black bruise that circles the place where Lucas busted my lip. It looks a LOT WORSE in person. It also hurts insanely bad. All day long Lucas has been trying to make me feel better by trying to kiss me directly on "my boo boo." He also has been randomly inventing fake boo boos on himself, (I guess so I won't feel so bad about mine.) I am really self-conscience about going out in public. When I went to the grocery store this afternoon I felt like everyone was staring at me and thinking "did her husband hit her?"
