...who needs enemies?
Apparently, last year when Noah decided to test the strength of the sidewalk by smashing into it with his skull resulting in a concussion and later a beautiful shiner, he was starting a new Halloween Johnson Family tradition. This year, it wasn't quite as dramatic but the shiner is revealing itself quite nicely. It darkens and the purples become more brilliant as the swelling goes down and the bruising comes out to play. Oliver and his temper decided that going to bed was not an option last night so to prove that he was right and I was wrong he flung himself down dramatically. Well, when he did this he smashed his check and/or eye into the crib rail. I didn't turn on the light, just picked him up, calmed him down and put him back to bed. This morning I went in to find Oliver with a swollen eye (almost shut) and a nice bruise. The only good thing is that I won't have to use as much makeup on the little vampire. Any guesses on who the shiner belongs to next year?Noah and his shiner last Halloween

Poor Guy!!! You know Ollie, just because big brother does something doesn't mean you HAVE to do it too... Hope your eye is better soon!
Actually, the traditions started w/ their father in his youth...they have a loooong line of history to overcome!!
Hey have you ever tried arnica gel or cream for bruising? It's a homeopathic remedy, a methodology of which I've been unsure. But when Sean dropped a brick on his toe I put some on just to have something to do to help him feel better. The next day I thought he must not have really dropped it, maybe more just set it down on his boot, because there was no discoloration or swelling. Imagine my surprise when the toenail fell off 10 days later, with never a blood blister or bruise. Alison Tubo
