Staples and Stickers

Last Saturday we were at Claudia's first soccer game and I see Georgia walking toward me and crying that she fell backward and bumped her head on a rock. (This frequently happens due to the immense size of it.) She looked fine, but I got up to get her. As I turned her around to see where she was hurt, I was horrified to see her entire back covered in blood! With a facade of calm, I searched for the source of the uncontrollable bleeding fully expecting to find her brain oozing out!

Okay - I forgot how much heads bleed! It was a small gash about 1/3 an inch! Worried she might have a concussion, I took her to the ER where they gave her the "all clear", one little staple (easier on a 2 year old than stitches) and lots of stickers, which she put on right away and would not let me take them off even for church the next day. And yes, she even bathed in them so you can imagine how pretty they looked with her Sunday dress!



She had so much fun telling EVERYBODY "I have a staple in my head!" She got it removed yesterday and they put it in a little jar for her which she now carries around everywhere... even to bed! (and after a week of scrubbing, the sticky stuff from the stickers is ALMOST gone!)

just a side note: for all you who have read the Twilight series, blood really does stink.
