Current mood: sleepy
Well Mia's first night in her big girl bed didn't go quite as I would have liked it to go. She ended up rolling off the mattress and bashing her head against her rocking chair. Now she has a pretty nasty looking 1.5 inch bruise on her forehead. We have since moved her bed to the other side of the room and reinforced her with more pillows. Infact I think she has every pillow in the house around her... all but two (our pillows on our bed)
So last night was her second night. Things seemed to go well. I didn't hear any flops, thumps, or bangs. No crying ... nothing. I thought the night had gone pretty well. She woke up early in the morning and yes she still wakes me up the same way she used to when she was in her crib.. by kicking the wall. So I went to her room and got her up. She was her normal perky self. I thought everything was good until I brought her downstairs and was giving her breakfast. Thats when I noticed it. Her lower lip looked puffy and dark. I tried to examine it more but she wouldn't let me. It almost looked like it was cut and bruised!!! How did that happen!??!!? She didn't go to bed with that, I know for sure. I was concerned and even had thoughts of bringing her into the doctor but opted to wait until Adrian saw it when he woke up.
The morning/ early afternoon progressed as normal. Her lip didn't seem to bother her at all. She still sucked on her two fingers like she always does with no problem. Then it was nap time. I removed the baby gate from the stairs and let her climb up like she always does. Well for the first time in MONTHS she slipped, fell, and belly flopped on the steps on the way up. She hit her mouth on one of the steps and busted her lip right open!!! She started screaming and I quickly picked her up and ran her to the kitchen. Her mouth and little teeth were all covered in blood. I tried to wipe it away but then remembered an old trick my Grandma used to do for me when I would bust open my lip. I ran to the freezer and gave her an ice-cube to suck. This seemed to soothe her right away and the bleeding stopped. Poor baby! She was bleeding from the same exact spot her previous owie was at.
Once I had her calmed down and had her happy again I put her to bed in her room. Everything was fine after that and the day was fine. I just now laid her down for her Night #3. Hopefully nothing will happen. At this rate she is going to be all bruised and busted up for Easter!!!! Sigh... joys of toddlerhood I guess. At least she already took her Easter Bunny picture before all this happened haha Oh well. All in all, let just hope that third night is a charm!
