Savannah's Nail

I know that I've become an awful blogger, but I've had some issues downloading pictures onto my computer and I really don't like posting without a picture to go with it.

Well, here is a before and and after shot of Savannah's little pinky nail, or maybe I should say an after and then a recovery picture. You may recall that she somehow managed to partially rip her nail off while riding/falling off of a bike. The entire nail didn't come off, but it was still connected on the outside of the finger. We had to wash it really carefully for about a week and a half. Then we just had to make sure that it was bandaged well so that the nail wouldn't snag on anything and come completely off. After a week of that, then we've just tried to keep a bandaid on it. It's been about a month and a half, but that little thing finally fell off yesterday. She was so worried that it would hurt when it came off, but it didn't hurt a bit. And I have to say, that we're all happy that the little thing has finally given up it's hold. We told Savannah to throw the nail away; instead, she decided to put it under her pillow and see if a Nail Fairy would come and give her some money for it. Jon and I had a good laugh about that this morning and informed her that we would all be rich if we got money for every nail or nail trimming that we had. But hooray for no more bandaids!
