Soccer and Baseball . . . Split Gums!

Another Saturday on the soccer and baseball fields!  Lincoln was excited to be the catcher for an inning!

We headed from baseball to soccer for the big boys, and they had a great game!  We had some time to kill before Beau's soccer game started, and several boys were hanging around (literally) on the fence.  Beau's game started and lots of cheering was going on.  One minute the older boys were hanging and the next minute a soccer cleat jammed up in Lincoln's top lip/gums.  It was a bloody disaster!  We ran to the bathroom to clean it up and assess the situation, and the YMCA bathroom ended up looking like someone was murdered in there . . . so much blood!!!  Dad had gone down to Austin for work for the day, so we took this picture to show him the cleaned up version. 

We are tough (or stupid) and went on to Beau's baseball game after all of that drama.  Lincoln ate 6 Popsicles while we watched Beau play to keep the area numb.  Nick and Tallan and Lana ate several Popsicles to keep him company because that's what other players' siblings are for!  After that, we headed to the closest neighborhood PrimaCare to have him checked out.  Lincoln enjoyed getting his blood pressure taken . . . it looks like a vampire got him with the blood dried all over his shirt.

Waiting on the doctor with two cuties!

The doctor examined his gums and said that we had gotten him pretty clean.  No antibiotic was needed, and we went home to settle down after a loooong day of sports.  Never a dull moment here!
