Peter's Bath

I decided to give Peter a bath yesterday. The bad part is that I left my razor on the side of the tub. It was hidden by the shower curtain, but, as you know, all little kids have super duper vision. So, Peter saw it and decided to pick up his new toy. I was sitting right there, but, as you know, all little kids can also grab things at lightening speeds. I took it from his hand and did not see any blood-I was safe. I wrapped him in his towel and then, went to put his diaper on when I noticed there was blood all over his towel. He managed to escape from me during this time and wiped blood all over the carpet and the toilet. I quickly grabbed some band aides and wrapped up his little thumb which had to be changed two minutes later because it was soaked with blood. After that, I frantically tried to clean up Peter and the apartment before Scott came home; because in my mind, I thought he would freak out (he gets queasy at the sight of blood) and think I was an irresponsible and bad mom for not moving the shaver. Of coarse he did not respond that way! I guess I was thinking irrationally because I felt really guilty for not moving something dangerous out of Peter's reach. Well, Scott was actually really calm and helped me not feel so horrible. He later called my father-in-law who told me a story about a time when Scott got cut with a shaver. The shaver slipped into the tub during bath time and Scott sat on it! Ouch!!! Well, now the trick is to keep Peter's bandaged thumb out of his mouth. Good luck to us! Here is a picture of his little thumb:

Wow, he is sooo stinkin' cute and getting so big. That photo of him on Scott's lap is ADORABLE. What a little stud :)

I'm sorry to hear about the razor, Daniel did something similar and he bled and bled like crazy. There's something about a razor cut that bleeds more than ever!
