A couple of weeks back, Eli accidentally slammed his left little finger by a door, it bled a lot so i wrapped the injured nail with a waterproof bandage. Few days after, his nail started to look “pale” and the half top of his nail was avulsed from the underlying nail bed. He didn’t complaint any pain, also i didn’t see any swelling or redness, so i didn’t do anything but just waiting for his nail fall off itself.
Eli was pretty careful since then, but yesterday night the horror scene happened while i was making milk for Jo and Eli as almost 90% of his nail was going to fall off from the nail bed, it wrenched me a lot to see his nail but i couldn’t do anything because he didn’t let me to touch his nail. I was real mad, honestly, i would pull away Jo’s nail if i could find a plier, i would definitely want him to experience how painful of losing nail. Jo has not been behaving well since we were back in KK, always fighting with Eli and he has finally caused Eli such physical trauma because fighting for a little toy. Eli was the first to play the toy, but Jo still wanted to snatch from Eli although my mum stopped him sternly.
Jo looked pretty heavy-hearted after seeing Eli crying sorrowfully there, but so what, he still wanted to fight with Eli this early morning. Sigh, he truly can’t part from his daddy as he simply looks like ill breeding now, so i hope Jo can behave himself again once we back in CN.

the sight of the damaged little nail was suffice to make me pain too….poor Eli
good luck to u……

as for the boys fighting…i can so so much relate to it, at least in your situation, the little brother (being the smaller & weaker one) will succumb to the battle….imagine mine… both can be equally strong, violent & aggressive & at times could end up hurting themselves
