"Scoobs" Make the Ouchies Go, Go, Go! 6/5/08

Today C got one of his worst "ouchies" ever. I had just gotten out of the shower and he was messing around opening and closing the bathroom door and must have pulled the door shut over his big toe!! First, he looked really shocked and then he started to cry. But not his big, bad "the world has come to an end" cry...just a little one. So first, I just gave him a big hug b/c I didnt' realize exactly what happened and then I saw the blood! His big toe was gushing blood like crazy. I immediately panicked b/c 1) I was only in my robe and 2) I had no car to take him to the emergency room. After I looked at it more carefully, I realized that it wasn't really a big, deep cut like I had originally thought. BUT, it was bleeding from underneath the toenail b/c the door basically bent his big toenail in half. :( Poor little man! Momma was able to save the day though b/c I put him in the big rocking chair that he likes to hang out in and gently washed it off and covered it with about 10 million kisses. I put a little Neosporin on and then I explained that an injury like this has to have a "Scoob" (that is what we call band-aids at our house since our current box has Scooby Doo on it). C generally HATES Scoobs for any reason and won't keep them on for more than 10 seconds, but this one needed to stay on! I let him pick out his favorite Scoob and then showed him how they opened and went on...I explained that this Scoob could not come off b/c then his ouchie would get much worse and get really yucky. I told him that the Scoob would help make the ouchie go away. He looked very curiously at the Scoob and at me and then asked "Scoobs make the ouchies go, go, go???" Yes, C, Scoobs do make the ouchies go, go, go!!

No questions today...it is too darn hot!!

Good Things:

*We have gotten THREE calls about selling the truck from the ad I posted yesterday! (4 if you count the weird message that says they want to sell your car for you...but I won't count that!)

*The mom-mobile we want to buy is still there and we are hoping to go and get it tomorrow! (We would have to borrow the truck $$ and pay it back when the truck actually sold, but our buyers seem pretty serious so I am not too super worried!)

*The truck passed inspection with just a few minor problems!
