Happy after disaster

Silly Claire talking to her mommy. See that little mark there under her left eye?

Claire's first cat scratch. She cried, I cried. It was a disaster. On her face!! We were peacefully sleeping sitting up in a rocking chair when all of sudden we were attacked buy a doofy cat. Zoe has not realized yet that Claire is a living being and is always trying to step on her. So Zoe was just trying to leap up on my for a pat not realizing that Claire is, well, there. Claw to eye, other claws all in my arm. Yikes. At first it didn't seem like she had gotten scratched. I thought she was just scared awake by me yelling at the cat. Then I saw one single drop of blood. And the saddest cry ever. First irrational mommy call to the dr. I knew that it needed to be cleaned, just wanted to know what an infection would look like. So glad it was just her cheek and not her eye. First bloody incident survived. Barely.
