First Rice Cereal Experience

In an attempt to get Alegra to sleep through the night, we fed her rice cereal tonight! We are hoping that with her tummy full she will be able to give us little longer stretches at night, we hope! She did wonderful with the cereal, a little messy, but what should I expect from a first time eating experience. This little girl is so sweet and she has had a pretty rough week so far. Yesterday I ran something upstairs very quickly and I heard a horrible cry come from her. I ran downstairs as fast as I could to find Cruz leaning over her with one of those juice box straws pointed at her eye! Yes, our Cruz man had poked his sister in the eye with the jagged end of the straw, ouch!! I quickly called the dr. and he told me to monitor her eye. She had red in the white part on both sides of her eyeball. One of our neighbors is an eye dr.(luckily) so I took her over to see him today. He said he thought it looked okay, thank goodness. Then this morning when I went to get Cruz his back pack for school I came back to find him hammering (with 2 of his toy hammers) her stomach, pretty hard!! I don't know what I am going to do with that kiddo!! She stills giggles and laughs at him all the time though. I guess she doesn't hold a grudge!
