Recently, Karyn loves to reach out and grab things that are (nearly) within her reach. And she has developed a liking for the bottle of Yu Yee Oil (a Chinese traditional ointment that's applied on her tummy to reduce wind and ease tummy aches) that stands beside her changing mat.
One time last week, she managed to put the tip of the bottle into her mouth before I could stop her. Immediately, her face turned tomato red and she stretched her open wide open out of both shock and stinging pain. Amazingly, she didn't cry, just seemed VERY tormented.
I quickly switched on my resourceful mode and in my mind, evaluated and decided on a remedial action. Feeding Karyn water was not going to help remove the sting. So I quickly asked Hubby to get a slice of bread for me to feed her. After eating 2 small pieces of bread, the redness on Karyn's face seemed to subside. Whew! Perhaps the bread really did help to absorb the "hot oil"... How resourceful was I! Haha.
Well, one episode was certainly not sufficient a lesson for Karyn, despite my repeated warnings whenever I put her down on the changing mat after that one incident.
Just look at what happened today... again...
Look closely and you can see tears rolling down her cheeks. Poor thing...
Chewing on bread. See the spot of strawberry jam on her chin? Some sweetness to replace the "spicyness"...
Sugar & spice & everything niceThat's what little girls are made of
