Ethan in his bouncy chair


Hey, this is mommy.

This is a pic of Ethan in his new bouncy chair. I might as well explain how he got his bouncy chair. It was due to extreme sorryness and guilt. About 2 weeks ago, I noticed his nails were getting long so I thought the nail clippers we got as a free gift from a baby shop would be ok to cut his nails. (Later did I find out that there are safety nail scissors which are the correct ones to use.)
In any case, I managed to clip his nails on one hand ( while he was awake) and then i tried the on other hand, but I clipped his finger tip of the middle finger. Ethan screamed, blood dripped and I was in tears. Adam was holding Ethan and stunned. We quickly bandaged his wee finger with gauze and 3M tape. We took him to the pediatrician and the doctor put iodine on the cut which made Ethan scream and me cry again. Then afterwards, we went to the baby store and picked out his bouncy chair which vibrates and plays music: The Fisher Price Kick and Play. He still has some growing to do before he really gets in to it.

Apparently, the whole experience was more traumatic for me since I spent that day and the next week crying over what I had done each and every time I looked at his finger.

The picture, taken by my best friend Samantha, is of Ethan drooling in his new bouncy chair.
Thanks Samantha!

Luv Joanne
