So we had the discussion with the kids about the danger of pulling of the stockings because if the stocking holder should fall and hit you, it could really hurt you badly. Everyone seems to get it right...o.k Ella's only 2 1/2, but she's sharp...as was the metal pine comb she pulled down on her head about 5 hours after our little talk. Just imagine the scene...I hear a thud followed by a scream followed by my two older children freaking out far worse than the wounded 2 year old. Clearly my warning earlier had left an impression and with the blood running down Ella's face they were sure her life was ending. Good thing Mom stayed cool, calm and collected and let everyone know the only one that should be crying is Ella and we ALL need to pull it together! Needless to say we ended up in the insta-care with two puncture wounds to the forehead...bless her scrappy little heart!
"I did it..." she announced as she came home from getting stitches.
"Just a cute picture of Ella's random personality"
"Before this whole episode went down, we had promised Ella ice cream that night for some significant progress she had made in her potty training...I'll leave out those details, so after she was done being stitched up she looked up at me with her flaming red cheeks "we getting ice cream Mom" you betcha kid, you definitely earned it!
