Long Night

Yesterday we had to take Lily to the ER because she swallowed a magnet. The good news is that she is fine and hopefully will be fine. There was only one magnet (after taking the x-ray) which was also good news. I had no idea how grave swallowing magnets can be. I had recently bought a magnetic board for a chores chart. It came with these tiny magnetic stars. Lily put one in her mouth the other night and ended up swallowing one. I don't think it was intentional. They're just so small. Thankfully I just happened to mention that she swallowed the magnet when I was talking to Maureen. Maureen told me to call our doctor right away and our doctor in turn, told us to go Strong immediately. It makes me angry that they'd even manufacture a chart like that for kids. Oh well. I'm glad she's ok. David took her to Strong and I stayed back with Jack. At around one in the morning Lily was really wired. The nurse came in and gave her a popsicle. Lily kicked back on the chair and said to David, "This is the life!" Our little optimist. I had taken these pictures yesterday when she woke up from her nap. Her hair is so curly when she wakes up. It's just so cute. Love this little munchkin!!!

There's a solitary teardrop on her cheek in these pics.
