I take Zoe outside this morning at around 6:30 am. Alia is up and B is asleep. She was not happy about being left inside. While I'm outside (like less than a minute), I hear a bang and then my girl starts screaming. When I open the door, a kitchen chair is knocked over, Alia is standing (and crying), and there is blood all over the floor. We can only imagine that Alia climbed up into the chair and knocked it over backwards. We couldn't see into her mouth very well, and couldn't tell if her teeth were alright. So, we took her to the ER for the first and hopefully last time (here's to wishful thinking, right?).
Thankfully, for awhile, we were the only people there. The doctor couldn't tell if Alia had a laceration above her teeth or if the bone was fractured. So, Alia also had her first and hopefully last CT scan. They gave her medicine to mellow her out. Eventually, different doctors said that everything looked fine.
They gave us antibiotics, said to feed her soft foods/liquids for a few days and said we should probably go see a dentist soon. We had to go to the store to get her meds right after, and she wasn't very happy then. After her nap, she was acting pretty normal though. Me thinks my girl will be ok.
She survived. We survived. Let's not do that again.

Sweetness!

Big Girl Bed!!

The same guy (our friend's dad) that built our crib, built Alia a toddler bed. Then we painted it.
