The burn victim

Last night bless her heart our DD6 asked for a cup of tea. I was drinking tea and she loves her green tea with lemon so I popped a cup in the microwave to heat the water, then added the tea bag. She managed to get it to the table fine and waited awhile before she decided to test it. When her face got close enough she must have got a whiff of steam because she decided it was still to warm to drink.

She bumped the table with the cup...

Now for someone who has her vocal chords and is so accustomed to using them I am terribly surprised that all I heard was a sniffle and all I got was a tug on the sleeve.

...she had spilled it in her lap and had burned her tummy as the clothes were still touching her skin.

Just a little red but burns are the worst. I had her change into something more comfortable but we are just so thankful that we had some of the most wonderful lotion and a great all natural balm on hand to treat the burn and sooth the ouch!

She did manage to sleep peacefully last night and never mentioned it this morning before school!
