Trey again

It seems like I've posted alot of pictures of Trey's face all banged up.  Like the time we had a car accident and he was the only one hurt.
And the time he fell while skiing.
At least this time doesn't involve a scar.  But it was pretty dramatic the way it happened.
I will start with the way I found out about it. I was at a Mom's Night Out.  Had just arrived in fact.  We were still standing around talking in the parking lot when I get a picture message and it says, "What do I do with this?"

Well I didn't even know what in the heck it was since the picture on my phone wasn't great, but it turned out to be Trey's mouth.  They were playing hide and seek and he was hiding in the woods behind our house.  Dave was in the house and heard Trey running to the door and screaming.  He looked around expecting blood and asked him what was wrong.  Trey responding by skidding to a stop and opening his mouth.  He had a stick lodged in there in the back of his mouth exactly sideways.  Dave reached in and pulled it out and realized there were actually TWO little pieces of sticks lodged in there together.  The story came out that he had been running, tripped and fell (with his mouth open apparently) and a stick broke just perfectly into his mouth. 

So after talking to Dave, wondering what I should do and what he would do, he decided he would just wait and see how it progressed.  Trey was complaining of pain but not overly so.  (He's pretty tough anyway). So he ended up being fine.

But it makes me wonder why big things like this happen when the mom is away.  When Leah was one, I was at a Hearts at Home conference and Dave called me from the ER.  She had tipped a chair backwards and needed stitches in her chin.  Oh well, I guess that's just the way of it.
I was thankful though, even though it was a pretty crazy event, it could have been much, much worse.  I say that about Trey alot.  He's either lucky or he has a pretty awesome guardian angel. Poor thing must be tuckered out!
