accident prone

For the sake of record keeping, I have to report on Eddie's recent accidents. A month ago he fell and cut his bottom lip pretty bad, although the bleeding stopped quickly and he hardly cried. His Dad was out of town and so I sought the second opinion of my neighbors, whom all concluded that he was fine and it should heal on its own with no need for stitches. It did and they were right. This week he fell at the park and escaped with no cuts or scrapes but has been limping, especially when barefoot, for six days now. He can put pressure on both legs, can walk and run and is showing no signs of any pain, no swelling, no bruising. And most people who see him move think that it hardly warrants a trip to the doctor, but as the mother, I am still concerned. His gait is definitely affected even though his confidence and activity level isn't. Last night while eating dinner he fell off the chair. He was throwing his food (which I hope is not a new habit) and propelled himself off the chair. The wind seemed knocked out of him, but other than that, no injuries.
