Bug Bites
Baby’s dermabond is peeling off slowly, and he has a nice pink scar. I’ll be starting the Mederma ointment today, and he will have a tiny bit more character around the eyebrow.
He has a bruise on his leg still from getting his knee stuck between the slats on the back of the chair a week ago. He wanted to be up at counter height to help in the kitchen. He was kneeling, wedged his knee in down low where the gap is wider, then stood up and got it stuck. We put Traumeel on it and immediately ordered The Learning Tower in apple green. Lex thinks it is the greatest invention ever.
And this week as I picked him up from daycare I got to sign another injury acknowledgement form. Another child bit him on the wrist when Lex tried to take his toy. It didn’t break the skin, but you could still see the imprint of tiny teeth the next day.
He doesn’t seem to mind any of it very much though. And so I guess I have to learn to stop fussing and let it go too.
