little Mylo got a bad burn on his leg thanks to the metal clips on the seatbelt- you know the tongue that goes into the groove to lock the seat belt... well they got insanely hot while the car was parked in the sun so when we put him in it touched his legs and burnt a big blistering burn on him. I tried really hard to not let it touch him but i failed: while i was busy holding one side off him and dousing where it touched his arm with water, the other side was under him burning his leg. i thought it was safely under his clothes but i was wrong. he was screaming his head off, not because his arm got burnt, but coz his leg was still burning. once i pulled it out from under him he stopped, and then i realised. i felt so bad i cried. when we got home i put aloe vera on it and rang 13health, they asked me a heap of questions and said get him to hospital emergency immediately. they said it could be life threatening, so to check he didn't stop breathing on the way, carry a mobile phone incase we needed to stop and call an ambulance and to watch for this and that... terrified we raced him to emergency, where they looked at him and said it's a superficial burn, aloe vera is good, keep it clean and here's some cream. moral of the story, cars get really hot, those clips can be dangerous, and a baby's skin is so thin.

but now the drama is over, all is good. he's sleeping alot after all that. they weighed him and he's 5.8kgs! he's gained 2.5kgs in 7 weeks. little sumo baby. i love him so much i could melt. (assisted by the crazy queensland heat)
