Toe nail clean off!

OUCH!  My bad I guess - I allowed Christopher to play with some rocks - no bigger than an adult size fist - but apparently no match for his bare little toes.  He had great fun lifting and dumping with dump trucks all day long.  But then it happened.  I heard it hit the ground and the quick squeal.  Upon my immediate inspection of the scene there it was handing on but just by the smallest amount - his entire toe nail, second over from the big toe.  He has been quiet the trooper though.  Was more distraught over the fact that I cut a hole in his sneaker to allow room for the injury.  He won't let me touch it.  So he's had lots of extra bath/shower time to keep it clean.  Still pretty red and a bit oozy but clean and so far seems to be on the mend.  Will be a long time before we seem any nail growth I think.
