Get out of the way, mom!
I wanted to get a picture of Carson and Betsy on the couch together tonight. They were in the middle of very intense Handy Manny episode and when I sat them on the couch and then sat on the coffee table in front of them they both leaned away to see past me and continue watching the show.
Tonight my scariest child injury to date occurred. Carson and Betsy were taking a bath together, Betsy stood up at the edge and as I was reaching in to grab her and take her out Carson pushed her backward and she sat on the underside of a duplo lego. The look on her face told me she’d been hurt. I grabbed her from the tub, without a towel, she screamed like crazy, which made Carson scream like crazy. I grabbed a towel and dried her off and then laid her down (still screaming) to see what had happened. There was blood on my shirt and on her. I wiped away a lot of it trying to find where she was cut. It turned out to not be the best place, I won’t go into any more detail here. You can just imagine. I put a new diaper on her. She didn’t want to be set down, so I grabbed Carson out of the tub with my other arm and dried him off, then got Betsy to lay down while I got Carson’s diaper on. It was after 5, so my doctor’s office was closed. I called Lindsey, who didn’t answer, then of course I googled my problem without finding anything super helpful. All the while holding Betsy who was not crying anymore, but wasn’t happy. After a while I took off her diaper to investigate. There wasn’t much blood, which was encouraging. And she even let me check things out and put some neosporin on the cut. Lindsey called me back and told me just to keep an eye on it. The rest of the night was fine, she fell asleep and I’m hoping that will be the end of it. No more legos in the tub!
