Slivers

Abbey had another sliver on Sunday. So if anyone heard her screaming and thought I was hurting her, she was totally freaking out about me even looking at the sliver and not wanting me to even touch it. She becomes very irrational and literally freaks out. She was in the bath when she told me about it and I tried to persuade her to let me look at it because the water will help make the skin softer. She thought for some reason the water would make it go away so she freaked and was screaming and crying uncontrollably. She wouldn't listen to me when I was talking to her so I ended up yelling to get her attention. I hate when that is what it gets to. The whole time I was trying to look at it using my hands just to get a look and to see if we would have to do something major to get it out. She was even holding the tweezers!!!!!! Finally I remembered an article that I had read where someone suggested using oral-jell to numb the site. We didn't have that but had chloraseptic spray so I tried that. She thought that was okay. I am not sure if that worked or what but I was able to get it out. If the slivers are small, usually we just let them go however this one was getting a red spot around it.
Daddy always thinks that they should have shoes on outside and when this happens we remind them why they should be wearing shoes!
Afterwards of course, Abbey had to wear a band-aid (3M only) and walk around with a limp everytime someone mentioned it. Oh the drama!
