Poor Louis has had a bad day today. He fell over in the playground, and skinned his elbow and his knee (luckily fairly well protected by sports clothes as Thursday afternoon is sports afternoon.)
All was well until after supper. Sacha left the table and gave us a very personal version of the French can-can. Louis was enchanted, and wanted to join in with the high-kicks, so he slipped down from his chair, and somehow managed to do a high-kick directly into the oven door. With no slippers on. OH, the agony.
The poor middle toe does look rather red. We have put some soothing ointment on it, and will wait until tomorrow to see whether it merits a visit to the doctor.
Sacha amazed us by his nursing professionalism. He tenderly helped his brother to his bed, tucked him in, with much smoothing of the duvet and pillow, and then selected clothes for Louis to wear tomorrow. Louis, by this time enjoying his invalid status, loved every minute and was an exemplary patient.
