One Fell Down and Bumped Her Head

Last night the family and I went to Will's parent's house for

supper. Will's dad loves to experiment with different crock pot meals, barbecued meats, and vegetable concoctions. I love it because Will is such a picky eater. I mean, who doesn't like corn? As GOB Bluth would say, "Come on!!" (As seen on the episode where he keeps wearing the $10,000 suit.) I, maybe excessively, try to encourage my children to try lots of different vegetables,

fruits, and crock pot dishes. My favorite vegetable that Judah LOVES is rhubarb. This kid will sneak into the garden
and eat rhubarb right off the plant. Good stuff.

We were all awaiting the freshly picked items from Ping Pong's garden (as Judah so lovingly refers to him), when Mayah decided to sprint across the room in her clunkified sneakers. She had almost reached the wooden computer chair when she tripped and bumped her head on the sturdy wood. The skin above her eye immediatly began bleeding...dripping...gushing. It was frightening. It was Mayah's first real injury. She was a trooper, though. After a few minutes of screaming, she was up and playing like nothing had happened. Her wound bled through the bandage a few times, so Will ventured to Boone to get some butterfly strips. Will informed me upon his return that every person with the intent to move to a new town should first visit that town's Wal Mart. Apparently, Will would not ever consider moving to Boone.

I just finished changing the bandages on Mayah's head wound and snapped some shots of her first official boo boo. It is crazy how much a tiny scratch can bleed. She is recovering nicely :)
