Poor Clara had her first injury that required medical attention. She and George were fighting over a fishing pole toy that had an elastic string. They pulled it so taut that it broke and snapped Clara right in the eye. This happened right before bed so we put ice on it for an hour until the swelling went down. We could tell she was able to see and track things so we put her to bed and called the doctor in the morning. This little trooper handled the doctor doing all sorts of eye tests including putting drops in her eye and looking at it under a black light. This test revealed three scratches on her eye. Clara had to wear an eye patch for three days and we had to put drops in her eye for a week. The first day she ran around telling everyone she was a pirate yelling, "Arrrg!" It was pretty cute. When she got tired of wearing the patch, George showed his true support by wearing an eye patch too.
She handled everything with maturity well beyond a three year old. Mommy and Daddy are very proud of our sweet girl and we are so thankful that the injury wasn't anything more serious. Clara's eye is all healed!
