This past week has been a hard one on Elisa. Two big boo-boos within one week! They were both accidents, and I think they look worse than they really are. I wouldn't call Elisa clumsy, but I think she may be off balance a bit, considering she had a big head, especially in comparison for her below-10th-percentile weight! I am thankful that these are the worst owies we have had (knock on wood!)
She was pulling at a laundry basket, when her hands slipped off and she fell back and hit her ear on the coffee table.
She randomly fell in the garage while I was unloading groceries, and hit her forehead on the trailer hitch on the back of the car. It didn't bleed much and she only cried for a minute or so, but Erik said it probably could have used a suture. I just hope there isn't a big ugly scar right in the middle of her head :(
My poor little girl.
Erik and Makayla got their scars at about a year and a half. It's the age for household accidents, so keep your eye on her.
ReplyDeleteWe probably should have taken off the trailer hitch. Might be a good idea.
