Ouchy!
So we had to contemplate an ER visit for Jacob tonight. We decided against it but here is what happened...

Jacob was standing up and pushing Nathan's riding toy tonight in the kitchen. Here is the toy so you can picture it in your mind.

Something to note is that Jacob always has his tongue stuck out. Well, the next thing I know I hear a boom and a scream. I go over to get him and there is blood running out of his mouth. After a minute I found out that the blood is because he bit his tongue really hard. There are teeth marks in the top and bottom of his tongue. Yuck! Here is what his new piercing looks like:

After about an hour and a half it stopped bleeding and he seems to be doing well. I think he is going to be eating some soft food for a few days though.

My sister did something similar when she was little. She was leaning back on a chair and biting her bottom lip and well, you can guess the rest.

She did end up going to the ER and had several stitches, and still has a scar.

Oh dear Lord. That looks painful. Hang in there :)
