Rosey had a spectacular nosebleed out on our walk today.
There are moments with your kids where you're pretty sure your heart has stopped.
R said Mama? and held up her little red-streaked hands so I could see.
She was very quiet about it - thank god she didn't start crying and wailing or else we'd still be out there - just smeared her little gory paws all over her dress and sniffed a lot. We were farther away than we usually are, and I had nothing to wipe her face with, so it was as fast as a trip back as I could manage with my bad knee.
I've been teaching Cass how to use my camera - so today he took his first portrait of his sister. She's looking bloody and thoughtful...
Maybe not the one I'll put in the album??
And here I thought this was going to be a lazy, run-of-the-mill Sunday.....

Poor R!! I bet your heart did stop.
Nope, not the one I would put in the album.
Is she ok?
She's fine - but I'm tired of the nosebleeds - I think we'll be going back to the doctor. (Because I love getting patted on the head and told this is something she'll grow out of.)
We live where bloody noses are common; high, dry and allergy ridden. It's usually my dh who has the horrific nosebleeds, but My R did once. I remember it being a very frightening, OHgodMAKEitSTOP experience. He was calm and bewildered. Blood and no pain? Strange.
I hope she DOES outgrow them, and fast. And what is the doctor basing this Scientific Opinion on?!
