Battle wounds

Last night we had Chinese food and I did not realize how hot the sweet and sour sauce was but I poured a little on Jennedy's plate to dip her egg rolls in and if she had waited like 15 sec it would have been OK. But she always test the temperature of things by sticking her thumb in them. Which is what she did. She was screaming, I was pouring on the other kids plate and looked at her holding up her thumb, realizing she was hurting, my instincts kicked in and with my bare hands I took off the sauce. I rushed her over to the sink and got her a cold washcloth and cleaned us up. I was not burned but her little finger was blistered. Poor thing.

She was very upset the rest of the night saying that she need to show daddy her finger when she was being cuddled with me and saying she needed to show Mommy her thumb when she was with daddy. At one point she said. "sho baby me ow" Meaning she wants to show her five month old brother her finger. So I let her. She went up to him in his baby swing and held up her thumb and said "see baby" I was cracking up. She was so proud of her battle wound. Still, there was much whining all night long. Poor baby. It was funny when she said "ne tu tu no run" translated that means "I need a tissue my nose is running." She later got a bloody nose, which happened while she was cuddling me and she sneezed and blew blood all over my shirt. So fun.
