So, Cyanne had a rough day yesterday.
I went to pick her up from daycare a little after 5. When I got there, I found two 'notes' written on her daily sheet. They said this:
1) She got a bite on her left arm.
2) She fell while running and playing on the playground and bumped her head.
Now, let me tell you...
1) This bite mark was serious stuff! There were four perfect little teeth marks and the lower ones almost broke the skin!! It was a SERIOUS chomp. Poor Cyanne. I can only, only imagine the cries that came after that happened. And the tears...
When I dropped her off today I was totally expecting her to point at the offender and out him or her but alas, she seemed to have forgotten - thankfully - and went right about playing with the zoo animals.
2) There was this BIG mark on her forehead. Right above her left eye - it was this big purple, blueish welt - a big bump! She took a serious header on the playground. Not sure what she came into contact with... but whatever it was... it was harder than her head.
One of the caregivers - Nico - said she put ice on her head for quite awhile after it happened to help with the swelling but it still puffed up quite a bit.
I meant to take a photo to document her rough day and especially the bite mark - but forgot - and then remembered after she was warm and snuggly in her PJ's so I couldn't take her out just for the photo-op.
So... take my word for it.
Poor baby...
It's a rough and tumble world at daycare.

Get Arnica gel from Whole Foods or other store that sells herbal remedies. It works wonders on swelling and bruising. My midwife swears by it for little kids, especially.
