Trixie's latest boo boo
doesn't look nearly big enough to warrant the bloody mess I had to clean up.
Photo taken May 23rd, 2005.
Age: 21 months.

Pretty scary thumbnail, right? Sorry -- I couldn't help it, but here's the full picture to set your mind at ease.

The Boo Boo will heal in due time... but what beautiful curls she has and the smile to make up for it.

Sarah: she was running outside her house and she fell and hit her head on the steps of the porch.

Heh. When I saw the thumbnail, my first thought was "melted icee"! I see I wasn't too far off ...

Ha! Thanks for the chuckle.

And what a great smile Miss Trixie has. So very cute.

She certainly doesn't look like she's suffering any! I can't believe how resilient kids are!

Good one, Ben! I was actually bracing myself to see the reality of a fallen toddler. Don't blame you for rushing her to the ER. And, Trixie...Ouch! But so wonderful to see you happy & smiling so soon. :)

Try Aloe & Vitamin E to help minimize any potential scaring.

Dave: great link! That's a disturbing photoshop job. (but the proportions seemed right at the time...)

lori: Just the family doctor. There has to be a lot more blood than that to go to the ER.

Woah, what's in the thumbnail for this POTD? It looks like something out of a John Carpenter movie.

Ah, nevermind. I should learn to read more closely. :)

Mederma for kids will also work, I use Mederma for adults on my scars and stretch marks from the baby and it works wonderfully.

Oh...just great! I'm going to be one of those mom's who's rushing the kid to the ER over a little scrape that gushes blood all over the place...especially if my kid turns out anything like me - I have my share of "beauty marks" from my childhood days.

Lovely nick out of the old forehead, but she looks no worse for the wear! Great smile!

Wait. I don't get it. I can't find the thumbnail anywhere in the real picture. Jamie says "read more carefully," but I did! Except maybe not carefully enough.

Heppee. (Rachel-speak for, "Help Me." Or, "Heavy," we haven't figured it out. She's usually asking for help when trying to move something way too big for her.)
