Bed Time & Black Eyes

About a week ago Liam started waking up in the wee hours of the morning (again) and coming into our room. He acted very casual about the whole process -- no fussing, just climbing up into our bed & settling in like he belonged there. I would promptly get up, walk him back to his room & put him back into bed with just a little protest. We developed a sort of routine to this for about 5 nights in a row. However, on night 6 the pitter patter of little feet was followed by a loud thump, which of course was followed by a loud wail. Liam had miscalculated in the dark and walked right into our bedside table...cheek first.

At first it didn't look so bad...jut a little cut on his cheek, but each day it's gotten worse as the bruising has creeped toward his eye. Day 2

Day 3

Side Note: I know I shouldn't get any pleasure out of my little boy's pain, but ever since his run-in with the bedside table, we have not had a night visitor to our bed.
