We made it almost 3 years!

I think most people would be impressed that we haven't yet been to the ER...but we can check that one off the list. Makenna has these horrible, and I mean horrible, bedtime traditions. I have complained to all of my mom friends, asked their opinions and advice, tried several of the options and my child will not follow my strict instructions on going to bed! However- maybe after this whole incident....she just might!
We had put her to bed and said that if she got up that we'd take her zebra. Surprise-- she doesn't care!...she got up. So, as I was rocking Bennett to sleep I asked her to go get her zebra. Next thing I hear, crash. thud. crying. Ben saying a few choice words. I got up, saw the blood...knew it might need a little more than a band-aid and a kiss. Ben took her, while Bennett and I held down the fort. I am quite proud of how in control I was, how calm we were, how no-big-deal I felt. I guess Mommy-mode takes over. Guess a little glue never hurt anybody.

Here she is before leaving to go to the hospital.

Waiting on the doctor.

Feeling much better with a popsicle.

Here she is this morning, eating her cereal. She saw this picture as I was posting it. She said, "Oh- poor Makenna. She has a bad boo-boo!"

Ben said she was a champ, except when they had to hold her down to wash it out with some saline. I'm almost glad I wasn't there- good decision on my part- send the man...that's what he's here for! :)
