So, we were celebrating the last day of school at a friend's house. We had a campfire, s'mores, a ton of kids.....and an injury :*( My youngest set her marshmallow on fire because she likes them burned. She lifted the roasting stick to blow out the marshmallow and it fell right of the stick and landed on top of her bare foot! Oh the screaming! I'm sure it hurt, the hot sugar burning her skin. I wiped it off with my shirt as fast as I could and we rushed to the kiddie pool to put cool water on it and wash the hot marshmallow off. She cried and sat on my lap (soaking wet because she had been swimming moments before). She finally started to feel better and I thought great! She'll spend the night at her friends after all! But sadly, the teenie tiny blisters appeared, and there were tears all over again. We limped home, put some aloe on her foot, and we snuggled in bed together. All is right with the world when I can keep them safe in bed with me and make sure they are fine all night. Update: This morning all of the redness is gone and there is only one blister the size of a pinhead on her toe! All smiles and ready for the next adventure! |
