Caroline's 2nd favorite activity at the park...swinging!
Unfortunately, our fun park outing ended with Caroline falling really hard and biting THROUGH her lip (yes, I said through). I have never seen so much blood come out of a child's mouth before. Even though Matt and I were freaking out on the inside, we both stayed surprisingly calm. I'm just glad Matt was with me! We rushed Caroline home and called our pediatrician's nurse on call. She told us if the puncture wound was really small (which it was) and if the bleeding stopped on its own, then Caroline wouldn't need stitches. Luckily, the bleeding stopped shortly after we got home and, after putting some ice on Caroline's lip, the swelling went down. Today, her lip already looks like it's healing nicely. We know it could have been a lot worse and are so thankful we didn't have to go to the hospital. There is never a dull moment with a 19 month old :-)
