About 15 minutes ago I was changing Ryan's diaper. AJ was sitting right next to us and pulling wipes out of the box. I decided he had pulled out enough and closed the top of the box. For those that have been around him you know he can throw some amazing temper tantrums. He proceeded to have one of those tantrums. During his tantrum he took a heavy sippy cup FULL of milk and threw it right at Ryan's face. When the cup hit I heard a little crack sound and knew it had really hurt Ryan. I picked up a screaming AJ and took him to his crib upstairs.....I was so angry with him and he's still too young to understand discipline. At least he couldn't do any further damage to anyone or anything in his crib while I took care of Ryan. The cup must have hit directly on top of the bridge of Ryan's nose and, by the looks of it, the bottom edge of the cup is what hit him. His nose immediately swelled up and turned purple. I think there is a chance it may have broken, but there's nothing that can be done. It just frustrates me so much that all of this was just because AJ wasn't allowed to pull wipes out of the box indefinitely! I know his determination and persistence will serve him well in life, but right now it's just driving me crazy!
But, I'm pretty sure this will not be the last injury inflicted on one brother by the other. Steve and I already predict there will be some monumental battles between these boys.
