If Hannah doesn't look happy, it's not because she didn't like the popsicle. You see, during Friday evening's walk, she wanted to get out of her stroller and walk like a big girl. Soon, the inevitable happened. She fell. On her face. And apparently bit her gums. Daddy wanted to tell Mommy "I told you so." for letting their still somewhat unsteady toddler walk unassisted. Both parents were heartbroken to see their little one with blood oozing out of her mouth.
By the time we made it across the neighborhood to our house, she calmed down quite a bit. We washed her face with a cold camp cloth, gave her a sip of water to drink... and I found a popsicle in the freezer for her. She LOVED it. She ate the whole thing and drank the melted juice from the tube. She even left her brand new toddler-sized bib on the whole time!
Tonight she was happy to suck on ice cubes, so we'll continue to limit her popsicle intake, but at least the treat helped settle her!
