Emma's Accident


Our little sweetheart made it almost a whole month after turning one before she had her first 'big owie!' Elliot was at Guard Drill last Saturday so Emma and I were having a GIRLS ONLY day to ourselves. I was checking out some things online with Emma standing up by the barstool next to me. Next thing we know, she's on her back with the barstool on top of her. Needless to say, it was a bleeder. She has a few bruises too, but the doctor was able to glue it up (about an inch) rather than do the whole stitches thing. We had to watch her pretty closely for the 48 hours following the accident to make sure she didn't bother the cut. She made it past that point and it looks to be healing up pretty well. Here's a picture of our little bruiser after her accident.

Ouch! You poor little thing! You are looking more and more like your daddy; and I'm certain he had a few bruises like yours when he was little!

Emma, are you training to be a mountain climber? Usually, mountains do not fall on top of people, so that could be a bit safer. Miss you!
