Challenges

When you have a baby, the craziness never seems to end.  Last Monday, for example, I was clipping Coops' fingernails and his entire pinky fingernail came off!  Needless to say, I freaked out.  But after being reassured by several pediatricians that it would grow back, I felt a little better about it.  He didn't seem to mind and the skin underneath was pretty rough, which means he probably injured his nail bed at some point and so all it needed was a little tug to come off.  And then tonight, we were giving him a bath and for the first time in the 5 months we have been using Selsun Blue conditioner, he got some in his eyes.  They were really red and he was crying, so I called the Poison Control Center.  They told us to pour water in his eyes for 15 minutes, which is basically waterboarding him, and if they're not better in an hour to take him to the ER.  After about 20 minutes, he was smiling at us again.  Then he ate and went to bed.  Back to normal Cooper!
