The plaster trick

Since Grace squished her finger in the door she has wanted to have a plaster on her finger. After two days under a plaster the wound looked, well, terrible – all white and mushy. With little prospect of not putting a plaster on her finger we applied some parent brain and devised a plan which involved putting some Wecesin powder onto the wound and putting the plaster on her finger in a different spot – one which was not over the wound at all, allowing it to breathe.

Worked for us….

Nearly everyday I get excited about Grace's speech development. It was a concern for quite a while, and now it is just a joy to hear her talking and saying new words. Today I thought her "oink" was very cute, and she said the longest word that I can think she has ever said, "decorating."

    With this, the wound can still breathe and doesn’t go all white and soggy.
