I was sleeping with my baby Colby and he felt hot under the blankets. So I threw the blanket off just assuming that he was just hot with the blankets on. I checked his head and it was starting to heal. Then I went back to sleep.

C- better daddy
S- good good

Then we went downstairs and ate breakfast.
