Zane hates blood.

Jul 2009

When Zane gets hurt he usually cries. He is not a big fan of pain. Now, when Zane gets hurt and there is ANY amount of blood involved, you would think he lost a limb. There is screaming, flailing around, tears, and he usually ends up in the fetal position gasping for air. It is not pretty.

This morning Zane and I were talking in the living room when, out of complete nowhere, my nose starts GUSHING blood. Like running down my face and chin and dripping onto my clothes. It was actually so much blood that I got a little woozy. Now this same thing happened when I was pregnant with Zane, so I was not overly worried. Zane, however, almost passed out. He just stared at me with this look of complete horror and sat down on the ground. The fact that he was not crying made me more worried than if he had been! I finally got myself all cleaned up and got the situation under control, and I walked back to the livingroom to see Zane laying with his blanket on the floor. He just stared at me before asking, “Mommy are you okay?”. He has been asking me that all morning now. I assured him that I was fine and sometimes people just get bloody noses. I am hoping I have not just traumatized him for life!
