Remember this picture? Of course you do, you just saw it yesterday. Well, it sets the scene pretty well for today. Beni was sitting in her Bumbo on the table while I was making my lunch. I had my back to her for ONE SECOND when she started shrieking the horrible sound of a cry that means ACTUAL PAIN. I turn horrified to see her clawing her own face with her left hand. I dropped what was in my hands, and pried her hand off her face, but not before noticing that she appeared to have one of her fingers quite nicely lodged between her lower eyelid and her eyeball. (D, I know your belly button issues are bad, but can you imagine? Your finger **IN** your eye???)
So, it took me a good half hour to calm her down. Nursing finally did the trick. There was no blood. There was no...nothing. I can't for the life of me figure out what she was doing, or why she decided to try to make herself a cyclops. Her eye was still puffy tonight when I put her down, but she seemed fine. She did have one giant eye-booger come out shortly before bed, but other than that, nothing. I just...well...who knows. I just don't get it. The dramatic life of a new mom, I guess.
At least she still has both eyes.
