bath
i had just changed janie�s diaper and set her down in the living room to play while i finished cleaning up.
all of a sudden i heard a horrible thud and janie started screaming. she had made her way through my barricade and fallen head first into the heater grate and then rolled over on to her back�still laying on the hot heater grate.
i scooped her up as fast as i could�throwing her poopy diaper into the air as i ran. her back was warm from the heater, but she didn�t look burned. she cried and cried and cried. and i cried too. i didn�t know if she was seriously injured or not, but she finally calmed down.
we sat on the front porch wrapped up in my hollie hobbie quilt. she loved being outside, even though it was only about 38�. she kept watching the cars and trucks go down the highway.
about 30 minutes later it was time for a bath. i took off her shirt and her little arm was all scratched up. the marks don�t look like burns, but more like cat scratches. when i put her into the warm bath water she was fine� until i laid her back to wash her tummy and legs. she started screaming and bawling her eyes out. it was her arm. the warm water was making the scratches sting horribly.
i pulled her little arm out of the water and rinsed it off with cool water. of course she was already crying so hard that her beautiful blue eyes were now red from all the tears, and this really didn�t help her feelings. so i bathed her as fast as i could and got her out of that water.
it took her about 15 minutes to really calm down from the bath. not to mention that it took a good 20 minutes for her to calm down from the fall. . not only is her arm all mangled up, she has a few scratches on her right cheek as well as a bruise. my poor little baby girl
