The last piece of Glass

So, in the rental house we had two ceiling fans with no lights on them so there was no central lighting. That is a huge pet pieve of mine, lamps never seem to get the room as bright as I want it. So, we installed two ceiling fans with lights on them. We needed to bring one of the fans down with a down rod and everything was going fine until Ben was putting the fan baldes on and then screw in two screws around the lights. As Ben was putting up the first blade the lights fell and one of the light bulbs and one globe broke. Katelynn was in the kitchen so I quickly put her in the exersaucer while we cleaned up the glass and finished re-putting the fan together.

Of course we thought we had all the glass picked up. We thought we looked under and in everything, but guess what? Katelynn knows about more hinding places than we do. So, a few hours later we were playing in the living room and she had something in her mouth and there was no food around. I asked Ben to get it out and out came a chunk of glass. We both about died. It was only in her mouth for a minute and it did cut her tounge but there was no major bleeding from her mouth and all bleeding had stopped a minute or two after we took the glass out. We think she found it in an open box that she reached into.

The weird thing about it was that as we were cleaning it up I said to Ben, "Could you imagine her getting a piece in her mouth?" Didn't quite think it would happen.
