No those are not socks on Emma's hands. Yesterday during the rush of trying to get us out the door to church, Emma toddled over to the gas fireplace which I had just turned off, and burned her hands on the glass. We took her to urgent care with badly blistered hands and the doctor bandaged them up and told us to change the dressings twice a day to prevent infection until they start to heal. She has blisters on her left palm and fingers, and just some small ones on the back of her right fingers. No permanent damage though and she should be fine in about a week.She is remarkably cheerful and stopped crying about 5 minutes after they got her hands bandaged and gave her a sucker. The worst part is she can't play with her toys very well! She has gotten a little creative and will hit buttons and things with her "flippers," as Bert calls them, and will even use her toes and feet. I anticipate several long walks this week to keep her entertained.

Ouch!! Poor Emma:( I hope she heals well. We had our own emergency trip last week with William. Kat decided she didn't want Will in her room so she slammed the door on his right big toe. It was a pretty nasty swollen bloddy mess. He's still limping a bit, but it's getting better.
Cute flippers! At least she's thinking of other ways to play with her toys.
FLIPPERS! That is hysterical! Oh man. I'm dyin'. So sad though!! I hope she gets better soon.
Poor thing!! That's so sad! I'm totally impressed with her resourcefulness, though--using her feet instead!
