Stella vs Concrete

Stella, our little daredevil, finally needed to be glued back together. This past Friday we had nothing going on and decided to have the neighbors over to hang out and before we could even do that Stella flipped right out of the pool. She wanted one of the noodles and the one she wanted was outside of the pool. Nora got out to get it, but of course Stella wanted to do it herself and stood on the return in the pool and that gave her just enough umph to flip out and she split her head open on the concrete. Holy moly was there a lot of blood! Thank goodness Angie was right there to scoop her up (she is over my weight restriction still) and I ran and got Peter. Once she calmed down a bit she asked to go back into the pool! Ha, she is a funny kid. Peter, Stella and I headed down to Cardinal Glennon and they glued her back together. The doctors and nurses were awesome! We were there about two hours and our restrictions were to not submerge her in water and to keep her calm. Well if you know Stella at all keeping her down and calm is a challenge. She was running around when we got home like her Stella self. It has not slowed her down one bit and she is in Chicago with Grandma and Grandpa this week and she hasn't been phased at all. I wonder how many more times we will visit the ER in her lifetime!
