This week was the 2nd week of the settling in and im not sure if im right or not but 2 weeks is all i put in the contract and the parents were happy with that. Week has been fine, had a bit cheek of the 4 year old and 11 month old cried when he was tired or wanted something i couldn't let him have. Went to the park a couple of times i was happy with it all.
However today mum was coming to pick them up at 5pm, me and the 4 year old were dancing around the living room. 20 mins before mum arrived, he got over excited and went to cuddle his brother. Next thing the baby fell flat on his face (laminate flooring), blood every where :panic: , when i picked him up he was holding his breath, i talked to him to get him to breath and then i got a blood curdling scream!
Turns out he has a burst lip, i was worried incase a tooth fell out. But baby cried for a bit then calmed down and wanted to play. i filled in the accident book but was unsure what to put for action taken as
i didn't know what to do, as don't remember a burst lip being mentioned on the first aid course. After all that and mum had arrived the baby went and pulled a toy on top of him, that made his lip bleed again, do i need to do a seperate sccident form for that?
Mum was ok about it and asked me if i wanted to talk to them about the settling in period or was i happy to continue, which when i said i was happy she seemed pleased about that.
Going to phone parents later to check baby is ok. Just hope dad doesn't think im doing my job properly. Im a real worrier!
