So last friday Nic tried to smash off his toenail with a large rock... I suppose he wants his feet to look as nail less and bandaged up as his hands have looked this past month or so.
Nic loves to cook, he has a toy oven/stove set and a Nic size toy grill. Dad said Nic was putting rocks in the grill like he puts charcoal in our big grill. One of the rocks was too big and heavy for him and it fell from his hands and smashed his toe. We waited a bit to see if it was a temporary ouch or a serious boo boo. His toe was bleeding so we quickly cleaned it and bandaged it up. It doesn't look or feel broken, but the black nail that is popped up from the cuticle bed does look a little gruesome.
He didn't walk for most of Saturday and is still limping around now. He won't let me touch his foot with his knowledge. But if a good enough TV program is on to distract him I can move his toe around pretty good without him even blinking an eye.
The picture above was taken right after we wrapped up the toe and had settled down to rest. He didn't want the ice on his toe, he wanted to just hold it on his lap. A few minutes later we convinced him that it would work better on his foot.

Oh, poor little Nic. He looks so cute all hurt like that... not that I like to see him hurt, he just looks cute when he is.. hehe
Poor guy. I hope he's feeling better.
The ice thing is funny though... Gotta love toddlers!!!
