Crash, Bang, Boom

To those of you who don't know Tuesday night my little rebel without a cause had his first "real" accident. I was sitting on the front steps watching Bradley and his buddy Ben riding their bikes in the cul du sac. They were having a great ole time racing back and forth. Ben on his suped up big boy tricycle and Bradley on his old time favorite 3 wheel pedal cycle. We got him a big boy bike for his birthday, but he still prefers his little one. Anyway, Bradley is at one end of the road and Ben is on the other and they both take off towards each other and as they are getting closer I'm thinking to myself they wouldn't dare crash into each other and as they got closer I'm about to yell for them to stop, but before I could get the words out..... CRASH!!!!!!! I thought for sure one of them would have swerved out of the way. So Bradley flipped over his handle bars and hit his head on Ben's bike. From where I was at I thought it didn't look like no big deal. Oh boy, the crying starts and off I run and normally when I see blood I freak out and get all tingly, but I had to stay strong for my boy. Once I seen he still had his teeth and eyes I was good, but then realized he split his forehead. My neighbor who's a nurse, thank God took one look and said "take him to the ER" My other neighbor grabbed Alayna and took her home and off we go with screaming the whole way. The ER was packed and we would have been there all night so we went to Patient First and again thank God for them. They were incredible and we were in and out within 1 hour with just some steri strips. They said we could go either way and we chose that for less scaring. I was so thankful it was a minor event and just hope the rest of my days with a fearless boy are uneventful. He's like..."mommy, I just like to crash into things" but definitely learned his lesson.
