Alexandra has had many boo-boos, including a black eye. She is a Britt girl and it's just going to happen and it's going to happen often. However, I am so fortunate and blessed that we have not had a hospital visit, stitches, broken limbs, etc. I really am not sure how I will react if something major does happen to one of the girls, but we will save that worrying for another day.
I seriously thought we were headed for stitches when this last boo-boo happened. Danny was in the kitchen cleaning up after dinner (I'm not sure if once again I'm very blessed to have a husband that helps me clean up or if I've just trained him very well in the last 8 years! Ha! I'm just kidding! I'm definitely very blessed...I just couldn't help but insert a little humor!)
Anyway...back to my story...Danny was cleaning in the kitchen, I was at the computer and all the girls were playing happily with each other! Aubrey and Alexandra started running around after each other and before I knew it they were running around the dining room table. The next thing I heard was a bump and Danny said, "There went somebody's head." Sure enough, about 10 seconds later, (after the breath holding) the screaming started. I scooped Alexandra up and all I saw on her face (and in her hair) was blood! She had fallen and hit her head on the bottom corner of the china cabinet.
I flipped out! I ran her into the kitchen, moved the hair away from her face and blood was just pouring out of the whole in her forehead! I grabbed a kitchen towel and put pressure on it. It took a good 3-4 minutes to get the bleeding to even slow down, but once it slowed down, I could see that it was not as bad as I thought it was. It was a deep cut, but it was small. She let me put a cold pack bag of frozen peas on her head and then she was good!
She wouldn't really cooperate for a picture, so this is all I got! It's been almost a month since this happened and she still has a little scar. I'm hoping that it will go away!
