Esther The Adventurous

Esther has done it again! Another spectactular head injury from playing in our new MAF playground! I have never seen a bump so big, or one that grew so fast! At least this time there was no blood and no stitches necessary...



A bag of frozen beans from the freezer, held on the bump for a good half hour, and a couple of spoonfuls of Calpol medicine, and Esther has recovered very well- thankfully.
It all worked out fine in the end and the defrosted beans conveniently went well with our mince and pasta for dinner! But I sincerely hope that this is an end to her frightening playground injuries- her adventurous nature is certainly keeping us on our toes...

  1. O Poor little Esther-what a massive bump.Hope the memories don't put her off frozen beans in the future! Does she still wnant to play in the playground I wonder.Tell her, her nana has qite a few scars from childhood adventures too. Hope she doesn't lose her adventurous spirit -Esther I mean not her nana!

  2. What a resourceful mother Esther has! What would you have done if you had no beans? But then my dad used to say, "Give him beans!" That's what the men used to shout out when two men were having a fight on the foreshore at Erith. So you've given Esther beans and she's much the better for it. Well done! Poor little Esther!

  5. Little Daniel is getting very good at praying for poor cousin Esther "because she's got a sore head"! He'had lots of practice. Sincerely hope the bump has gone down. J x
