I jinxed my little guy

I was reading my friend's blog post from the other day (you should read her blog, she is an engaging story teller), and while I was feeling so bad for her little guy, I was thinking about how my little guy, aside from an occasional knee scrape, hasn't had any injuries lately. Boy did I jinx Oliver.

Oliver and I had just returned home from some morning errands and he asked if we could play in the garage while we ate lunch. It wasn't too hot, so I agreed, but I needed to use the restroom so we came inside really quickly. Oliver waited for me in the utility room like he always does, and just as I flushed the toilet I heard a big thump and then crying. I dashed into the utility room and found him slumped over a chair crying. My first instinct was to make sure there was no blood and then to console my little guy. After the crying finally subsided, I found this huge bump on his forehead and from what I could gather, he was sitting on the chair trying to reach up to touch something over his head and fell off and bumped his head on the chair. Can I just say how bad I feel that I wasn't there and don't know exactly what happened??? I am still kicking myself.

I don't think the following pictures really do it justice, it is huge. Clayton and I feel this may be the worst head contusion he has ever had. Poor guy, sorry I jinxed you.

These pictures were taken about 6 hours after the injury. Today marks four days since the injury and it is turning yellowish brown.
