The other morning when we were all getting ready in the morning I noticed that Maddie has a large discolored spot on her heel. It was a greenish/brownish/purplish/blackish spot. Not quite the color of a bruise, but close. It didn’t seem to bother her at all, but it sure bothered me!
I quickly tried to remember everything we did the day before. Were there any new foods? Did we play with markers? Did she step in something? Could Josiah have done something without my seeing? What socks was she wearing?
This was taken a couple of days later–I know it’s really faded–the spot is directly next to his thumb… (on a side note, look at those cute baby toes!)
After thinking long and hard, we couldn’t come up with any good explanation for the spot. Ugh. I hate unsolved mysteries.
What would cause a discoloration like that with no pain associated? Care to venture a guess?
(P.S. I did figure it out. And I’ll post the answer on Saturday.)
I’m thinking ink of some kind.
My 1st thought was that she was kicking her heel against something but then I saw your answer. So was it discoloring from the nickel or an actual bruise?
