february started off great - lots of sunny days, ice cream, and conversations about love. lyla was even invited to her first real birthday party by her friend natalie that she sees at the park with sheila. after lyla chose a gift for the birthday girl and picked out her favorite dress, we dropped john and lyla off at the party. within 5 minutes, john called me to come get them.
our poor baby tripped on a gymnastics mat and hit her head on the metal stand of a balance beam. apparently blood was everywhere, her head puffed up, and the gash was deep, so off we went to pediatric ER. thankfully, the kids all loved hanging out in the er room watching a movie on the tv - in fact the only time lyla got upset was when the nurse was blocking her view of the tv ("i can't see!!!"). lyla's forehead was glued back together and she'll be as good as new in no time (and probably will keep a scar to remind us all of this lovely event)!
