Thumb out of commission

While on a walk this evening Shelby was pushing her doll in the doll stroller and fell. She scrapped up her right thumb and her left-hand middle finger, as well as her knees. After lots of loud sobs we made it around the block and back home. We cleaned up her hands and put a bandaid on her thumb because it was bleeding a bit. I am pretty sure she screamed more at me trying to put on the bandaid than anything else. So here she is, eating graham crackers and milk for a bed-time snack.

Notice that her thumb is out of commission. She is right-handed most of the time, but she just couldn't get herself to use her right hand to hold the cracker, to dip, or even to help hold the cup as she drank her milk. It was pretty comical. Later, while picking up Lego's, she wouldn't use her right hand at all. I was cracking up!

After she brushed her teeth I did take the bandaid off, so that she wouldn't be picking at it. The bandaids are "Hello Kitty" (thanks for the cats Mom, haha) and she was finally saying "Hi meow" at the end, instead of just crying every time she looked at it. Such a sweet girl!
