Inaugural
One thing you must know about Gretta is that she loves her stuffed animals. And lately, it has been her stuffed dogs. Dogs in every size, shape, color, and species. In addition to carrying 3 or 4 lucky "doggies" around all day, she insists on each and every one of them sleeping in her crib with her. This brings the total to 267 stuffed dogs in her crib, along with her "woof woof blank" blanket from Grandma. It's like the dog pound in there.
This morning I was returning from Neighbor Kate's house after letting her 500 pound dog out to pee, and as I entered into the house, Emma runs to tell me Gretta has thrown up in her crib. Oh, great. I can hear her upstairs saying, "eew, throw up ma!" So I hurry upstairs to purvey the damage. First thing I notice is no smell. Whew, maybe she didn't barf up that entire cup of milk she guzzled minutes before falling asleep. Second thing I notice, it's everywhere. But still, no smell. I flip on the light, and voila! No barf. It was a bloody nose!
My baby duked it out with her 267 puppies in the dog pound, and lost.
But those poor dogs took a pretty good beating. Blood everywhere. On everything.
I find it appropriate that she had her inaugural nose bleed on this, inaugural Tuesday. Firsts all around.
And the bleeding has stopped, thanks for asking.

I would take blood over vomit any day, hands down.
You are back!! I missed your wit.
A bloody nose, really? I can't even remember my other kids first bloody noses. You will never forget hers.
Hydrogen perioxide will bring out blood in anything. Trust me, I know this first hand. Good luck!
Yep, she is a Noorda girl. Bloody noses and all.
Glad to hear BeBe wasn't harmed in the Dog Pound.
Give G a big hug from her Aunt Meggie.
Your way of telling a story just cracks me up!! Thanks for the laugh.
And BTW I prefer blood to vomit too. Nothing worse than vomit in the bed. URGH!!
