Our first trip to the Emergency Room

Kaelin made her first trip to the ER on Sunday. She was in the bathroom with us while we were getting ready for Easter dinner. I don't normally let her sit on the counter after I dry my hair and plug in the curling iron. But she threw a hissy when I tried to get her down so I left her "putting on her makeup". As she started crawling across the counter to get to Mike's side, I set down the curling iron and went to grab her and put her down on the floor. But her hands are quicker then mine and she grabbed my curling iron before I could get her. When we couldn't get her settled down we went ahead and took her to the ER. They said she has 2nd degree burns on three of her fingers. So we bandaged it up and she settled down. As long as we keep it bandaged she's fine. As soon as we take the bandage off to wash it, she starts rubbing it. Two of the blisters have popped already so it's healing. Luckily we found princess medical tape so she doesn't mind having the bandage on. I know it bothers me more then her at this point. I was hoping to make it atleast to her second birthday before having any major accidents, but such is life I guess.
