So today started out like any other ordinary day and ended up with an emergency trip to the pediatrician. We decorated for Christmas yesterday, making sure all our dangerous or breakable tree ornaments we safely out of reach for our curious 16-month-old. Unfortunately we did not realize she was capable of reaching our stocking hanging on the mantle by those weighted stocking holders... She yanked down on the stocking held by an ill-fated angel. It was quite heavy. It fell about two and a half feet, crashed into her head, and a piece of it (the bird the angel was holding) lodged into her head. She had two little holes in her scalp that were bleeding and a piece of a bird we couldn't pry out. So off to the doctor we went. Some tweezers, a restrained child, and a mummy bandage later, all was fine. She didn't even cry that much! She was more upset that I was making her stay still than that she was injured. The doctor reassured us that she didn't have a concussion, and we went to the pharmacy for ibuprofen. Poor girl, what a morning! I feel terrible that I didn't foresee this incident. But, you live and learn. And she is running around happily, totally unconcerned, and she got a piece of chocolate for being so good. And so December begins!

Ohhhhh Bria!! This will be a fun story many years from now of how she tested you time and time again. {{HUGS}}
Poor Baby girl. I am so sorry that the stocking holder that your Papa gave you came crashing down on your head.(smile). Or was that the holder that your Mimi gave you? I am sorry Baby girl. I love you Bria, Shanna & Dusty so much.
You know who I am!
Shanna! Kim is right. You will certainly laugh about this someday. But for now, give our girl hugs for us and hold her tight.
Love and miss ya.
Bria, I know how you must feel. I got my back side caught on some wire a few months back and needed to wear some kind of head gear. I think it was to keep me from licking my back...so dont try to lick you back.... and maybe your wonderful mom or dad will take it off of you.
Love Sassy
P.S. Your grandma and grandpa Lindsey read this blog and wrote DD about this.
Poor Bria, good thing she has a hard head like Dusty!!
