So today was my son's 2nd birthday. The day started off pretty normally. We are late sleepers because we stay up late .....see me posting at nearly 1:00am? Well, Tristan is watching cartoons now too.....because of my husbands work schedule. If we went to bed and got up at normal 2 year old hours neither one of us would ever see my husband so we adjusted to him.
Anyway.......we got up and got dressed and Tristan had his Early Intervention person come and do his hour of therapy (mostly for speech). We went out after that and we went through the drive thru at McD. Now this isn't normal but it was his birthday and I was going to get him a happy meal. So I order a happy meal with an under three boys toy. Go through the line and get a regular toy. I go back and they say "we don't have those...to bad" Yep, actually said "too bad"
So we go to the store get home and I have to bake a dessert for my MOMs club Christmas party. My husband is coming home early....and he actually makes it home and I put the torte pans in the oven - I was trying the Black Forest Torte for the first time after reading a recent post about it:chef:. My husband is on the phone with his mom who had called because of Tristan's birthday when I hear a crash and my husband throws the phone and runs to our son - who had tripped over the dogs bed and fell onto the tin (like one of those big popcorn tins) that holds the dog food. He bit through his lower lip with his two front teeth and lacerated the bottom of his lip on the tin. And he is bleeding all over the place. So I turn off the oven and we run to the ER with him. Which was fine once we got past Nurse Ratchet at the front door who was horrible and scared him to death. They ended up gluing it and we went straight from there to the party - without a dessert because mine was sitting all sad and lonely half baked in the oven.
Funny end to the day - with everything going on I didn't get to bake the cupcakes I was planning to make for his birthday so I finished the torte (yes it actually cooked, it was a little sad but not bad) and we stuck candles in it. Here is a picture of him, his fat lip and his Black Forest Torte - bet no other kid has this kind of picture in his scrapbook. Oh, and he loved it. He licked the spatula before we even got the candles lit. And as for the lip....at least we had Christmas pictures taken last weekend. And that isn't whipped topping under his lower lip - it's the glue.
