Well, it took 5 years, but we have officially had our first bloody scare! The story goes a lil' sumpin' like 'dis.
Sheri came to pick up Tyler, Mia's little friend. Tyler was walking out to get in his mom's car and Mia comes out to say farewell. Typical stuff so far. Mia is carrying a glass bowl full of Corn Pops. She proceeds to break into a trot to catch up to Tyler, and for those of you who know Mia this will come as a great shock...she tripped over the mid-air and went crashing to the concrete. Pretty typical stuff around the Widdowson household. I uttered my usual line of, "Oh I am sorry honey, shake it off. Your a tough girl." But this time was different. By the time she turned to face me I knew it wasn't a normal Mia crash. She was gushing blood and screaming her little heart out.
To say the shattered bowl cut her finger sounds too tame for the scope of her injury. I dared to take a look and immediately wished I hadn't. The cut look jagged and deep. I saw parts of her finger that a mother should never have to see. Looking back on the chaos, I am thrilled that I didn't freak out. It was pretty scary lookin'!
Sheri took our other two babies while Jon and I took Mia to see our pediatrician. He had her fixed up in a Jiffy! Now for a bit of Mommy bragging rights! Mia was so brave! She saw the tools that the doctor unsheathed and the "numbing needle" and let out little more than a whimper. She put the ipod on and tuned into her favorite song...which happens to be Bubbly by Cobbie Calliat...and gritted her teeth 'til it was over. What a moment for me and her Papa Bear.
