Recent Owies

Julia has had two recent big owies.

One day last week, Julia was running around in just her diaper, per normal. I was getting her cereal ready and she was in the kitchen with me. I started carrying it to the highchair and she started whining. I figures she was whining because I was carrying the food away. But she shortly followed me out of the kitchen and then I notice she is making bloody footprints. She somehow cut her heal and it was bleeding pretty good. We cleaned it up, put a band-aid on it and she was good as new. She did not even whine/cry too much. She did, however, walk on her tip-toes for the rest of the day. Still not sure how she cut her heal. I searched the kitchen floor for anything sharp. It could be possible that she was wrestling with Gavin and he got too worked up and got a claw into her. BUT I had just seen him on the table, and Julia was only out of my sight for about 2 seconds. Jerrod did break a bowl a day or two before, so maybe we missed a shard when sweeping it up. Who knows! Julia did think it was neat that she got a band-aid!

Then on Monday night I was trying to get Julia's pj's on. She was being her silly self and not cooperating. I turned one away, she turned the other way to reach for something. Her hand slipped and she fell right off the changing table onto her face/head. I just could not catch her in time. Since there is hardwood floors in her room and not carpet, I was a little worried about a concussion and thought about taking her to the hospital to be checked out. I just kept a close eye on her all night and watched for any vomiting or any other signs of issues. She was just fine, except for the slight black eye she now has. The next morning, Julia said that Elmo went boom on his eye too, just like her! (She has a little Elmo doll she carries around.) I think it did scare her pretty good though, because now she is extra careful and still when on the changing table.


Of course, I was wanting to get her 2 yr. pictures taken this week, but I think I will now hold off a week of two and let the black eye go away some.
