We had an injury this past weekend. We went to REI for Sam to pick out some shoes for his birthday which was last week (Happy 30th Sam!) Well as soon as we arrived at the store Josie informed us that she had to go potty. So I send Will with Sam and I take Josie to the potty. We finish in the bathroom and I hold the door open for Josie, she walks under my arm, so I let go of the door. But then, she spys the drinking fountain so she quickly grabs the hinge side of the door jam to make a quick turn to the drinking fountain. Then, the door shuts on her poor little fingers. She starts screaming and as fast as a I can I push the door open. I pick her up and am thinking her fingers are just going to be red from getting pinched, then I notice blood, lots of blood. So I run her back into the bathroom and run her fingers under the water. And then I see it, two finger tips attached only by skin. I start panicking and run out to the front desk and have them page Sam to come over. He casually strolls over with Will and the stroller to find me running towards him with blood dripping everywhere. He takes one look at her hand and we are off to the hospital. At the hospital they put her out and sew them back on. Things should turn out just fine, but for now she gets to wear her "big pink bandaid."
Josie is lucky enough to be blessed with naturally curly hair. We almost always just wear it curly because it looks so cute and is so easy to fix. But today we decided to make it straight. Josie loved it and called it her "Sleeping Beauty hair." I have a feeling that as she gets older I will spend many mornings making her curly hair straight! I think I still prefer curly, what do you think?
