I forgot, there was one thing that happened today.

Charlie likes to pull things off the bookshelves in the office. There is a little Pottery Barn Kids booklet (must have been left over from when I registered) that she finds especially interesting. Comfortable in the fact that she had played with said booklet numerous times, I left the room briefly to vacuum the living room rug.

After a couple minutes I came back into the office to find the booklet streaked with what looked like red magic marker. Strange, I thought…What is that?? After closer inspection I realized that it was not magic marker but Charlie’s blood.

Don’t worry….she’s fine, just a small paper cut….but it took me some time to get it to stop bleeding…possibly because she would not sit still and was wiping it all over her face and clothes. I took her to the bathroom sink, washed her finger with soap and water, and haphazardly got a band-aid on her slippery little hand. Not an easy task!!!

All of that to say, the sight of your child bleeding truly gives meaning to the word “scary”…..

Here are some more pictures of Miss C on her afternoon jaunt….
