A couple of weeks ago we were visiting Nana and Ellie got her thumb smashed in the front door. So the other day when the nail started pulling away from her thumb she started to cry and was very upset. A few days later she could see the new nail growing in and got so excited that she wouldn't leave it alone. Eventually she ended up playing with it so much that she pulled the nail off of where it was still atatched to her thumb and made herself bleed. This of course upset her a great deal (again) and i had to calm her down and remind her that the new nail was growing and that everthing would be fine. So today we were on our way to church and she showed me her nail all excited and said, "See mom, i told you it would grow!" ya i know.
