fallen face first into gravel and had it embedded in her forehead. It's her first child and she'd never taken her to the ER before so I met

her there and helped her hold her down while the doc and nurse dug it out then went back and calmed hung out with mommy until mommy calmed

down too. Baby is just fine but has a bump and a gravel size hole in her forehead now. She was playing happily by the time we got her

home.

Heh. Honestly? I wouldn't have been to the ER for that. Good tweezers, some disinfectant, and the kid is good to go play again!

But good for you to go help your friend!

I know, but it's her first baby and it freaked her out. And with the first one, anything that makes her feel better, do it.

Yes! I was lucky to have younger brothers. I am not good with little babies, but scratches and bruises? They don't scare me!
