The injury is just on her forehead. The cheek is sauce. |
Sunday afternoon we were outside. I was cleaning the flower beds by the house
and Marc and Elizabeth were playing with one of her ride on toys. She loves those and can really get going on
the driveway. Well, she got going a
little too well. The wheels got stuck
and Elizabeth went over the steering wheel on to her forehead. She got a small scrape right in the middle of
her forehead. Of course she screamed
bloody murder and poor Marc felt so bad, but really there was no harm
done. She did wind up with her first scab,
but considering she is over 13 months old I don’t think we did too bad.

Everything was fine until about 3:00 am on Monday
morning. Marc and I both woke up feeling
not very good and it only got worse.
Turns out Elizabeth did have the stomach flu and she shared it with both
of us. Of course with Marc and I making
frequent trips to the bathroom, Elizabeth woke up and was ready for the
day. I got up with her, put in her favorite
movie “Curious George” and lay on the floor wishing for death and making sure
Elizabeth didn’t hurt herself. I should
say, she doesn’t really watch the movie, but it catches her attention with the
music and she laughs at George.
Thankfully Elizabeth was 100% fine so she could go to daycare. Getting her there took a lot of effort, but I
did it and came home and went straight back to bed. Turns out all of the kids in her room and the
teachers had the same thing over the weekend because of one little guy who came
in sick.
Besides the germs, Marc and I are so grateful for
Elizabeth. She makes us laugh and smile
every day and we are very blessed to have her.Upside down baby or hanging with Daddy |
