Cracked up

This morning just after I got up, I put a dozen eggs on to boil. It is Egg Dying day!! Yippee! This is the first year Annalee has really been able to participate, and boy did she have fun! Her favorite part was putting the eggs into the dye, and she wanted to do this over and over again, sometimes putting multiple eggs into the same cup, and always putting each egg into several cups. Every time I would take an egg out and put it to dry on a towel, she would pick it up and promptly drop it into another cup...therefore, most of her eggs are a little greyish in color and quite cracked up (we didn't realize this would be the theme for our day)...but hey she had fun, and here a couple of pics to prove it...

When you see the cups with eggs at the top half out of the water, these are the ones with multiple eggs in them, she would just pile'em up...




And this is what Jude thought about the eggs...



I really thought that was going to be the extent of our excitement today...but sadly no...

A little later my Mom and Andie came over to see the results of Annalee's very first egg dying, and Annalee and my Mom were playing in my bedroom, and she (Annalee, not my mom :p) LOVES to climb up on our bed and play "pillows" which is a game where Jay basically picks her up and throws her into the mountain of pillows on our bed over and over and over and over...well you get the picture, Annalee would do it all day I think.

Anyway, she goes to climb up on our bed, and she always uses this little brown leather ottoman that we have at the foot of the bed to get up there, but this time when she went to climb up on it, it tipped over with her, and she hit her head on the foot of it. Resulting in a small gash on her eyebrow bone. She cried and cried, and even though it really didn't bleed that bad, I was concerned about how it might heal up, so I called the ped's office and they said to bring her on in.

We get there and they look at it, and say it could really benefit from some dermabond (basically super glue for skin, the np was actually glued to Annalee's head for a moment :0) so we go ahead with that, and there is 1 nurse holding her down, while the NP squeezes both sides of the very tender and swollen cut until it is shut tight, while Dr. Moll (we love Dr. Moll) applies the glue. it was very traumatic for mom and baby girl, she cried like I have never heard before and called out for me, it was horrible, and I know it really hurt, and was really scary to have 3 people basically on top of her, but they had to be really careful since it was so close to her eye, they didn't want to glue her eyelids shut! Seriously.

Anyway, she survived and should have very minimal scarringto her head at least, still not sure about her psyche...

Here she is before the dermabond...




And this is after with her lollie (she got 2 and a big piece of chocolate, she definitely deserved it!)...
