Baby Got A Boo-Boo

Two days ago Andrina fell and hit her forehead on the corner of the dvd player. Bad Mommy was making her oatmeal for breakfast when this happened. So I am partly mad at myself because it happened on my watch and partly not because I know that Andrina is going to have spills and falls and is going to get bumps, bruises, and cuts. That's just a part of childhood that is going to happen.

She cried for about a minute while I held her but she got over it fairly quickly. There is a tiny pin-head sized cut on her forehead. When she stopped crying I cleaned it, put neosporin on it and bandaged it. Then I iced it for a little while too but I couldn't get too much of that in with her squirming. I didn't think it was too bad where it needed a lot of icing. But there is a small bump there and a very faint bruise.

Later that day she was back to her happy little self again and I took a picture. She is happy but it is so sad to me because of the bandage. She just looks so pitiful with it on. Every time I see her sweet little forehead with that boo-boo I cringe. I wish it had happened to me instead of her.

But the good news is there is only a very slight bump and bruise. It should be healed in no time. And the cut has already scabbed over. And fortunately Andrina did not try to mess with the bandage so it should heal fine.

My poor little baby. I'm so sorry you got hurt. I can't stand for anything to hurt you. I love you too much for anything to hurt you.
