healing kisses

I hurt my knee on Halloween evening, playing soccer, not trick-or-treating. That would be a much better story. Ada has a tendency to shy away from me whenever I'm hurt. I don't know if she is afraid she'll hurt me more, or she is scared because she just saw mommy crying and that doesn't happen all that often. Whatever it is, she wouldn't even look at me after I hurt my knee.

But she was taking all of it in.

Once she got in the car with Elliot she was full of questions about what happened, and then was able to talk through it with Papa later on while they were trick-or-treating together.

And then anytime since when she has seen an ambulance, or joined me for one of my doctor's appointments.

She has it down.

And now that she is comfortable with the amount of information she has about this ordeal she is OK talking to me, and looking at me.

I even get a healing kiss on my knee every night.

What a long way she has come in 5 days..
