My son has a death wish and I'm on my second glass of wine

send booze

My 14mo just ran full speed at the corner of the kitchen cabinet. He has a huge goose egg. Line and all. Currently freaking out, worried it's going to split. This is only three weeks after we went to the ER for stitches from hitting a table.

I don't know why he does this. I stay at home with him, and he never leaves my sight. He is constantly trying to jump off of things, throw himself backward, run directly into sharp objects, tip over chairs, etc. He loves it. He laughs like a maniac. He has a death wish! I'm sure of it.

I'm not an inattentive mom but I feel like total shit right now. I'm too anxious for this shit.

Edit: ok ladies it didn't split and I think we are in the clear. I googled a bunch of stuff to see what I could do to relieve the swelling because he wouldn't let me hold an ice pack on it and he fights pain relievers. I came across this blog post from a crunchy mom blog and it said lavender essential oil helps. Cue me rolling my eyes SO fucking hard, but what the hell I've got a roll on for babies so I'll try it. Wouldn't you believe it, the goose egg is virtually non existent this morning.
