The excitement never ends

Although we've been much more concerned about Julia lately, Dora has had her own bit of drama this weekend. While playing in her grandparents' backyard, she managed to run into then fall on top of a rosebush. I quickly picked her up off it and plucked the thorns from her skin, but it was quite a scene.

The speedy application of Neosporin and jelly beans seemed to calm the patient down and provide some measure of relief. We told her the medicine would make the scratches get better faster, so this morning with some amazement Dora said, "My scratches are still here!"
