I woke up this morning to DD2 (almost 3 years old) crying that she couldn 't get in her little bed. I looked and the child was covered head to waist in blood. Yay for bleeding noses!
Here's where the sickness comes in: she had worn her bumblebee costume to bed (she's had this thing for 2 years and wears it more often than most of her clothes, so this isn't out of the ordinary). I had to giggle a little at the blood on her costume, and I was tempted for about 5 seconds to leave it there. Bloody bumblebee? Happy Halloween! (She'd never go for it.)
At least when I showed DH, he thought the same thing. I guess we're well-matched.

One cannot be a parent for any length of time without becoming inured to a certain extent to kids being covered in blood, feces, nanites invading from another dimension... That doesn't mean that we don't clean them off/send the nanites packing/whatever needs doing, but I'm sure that a non-parent seeing what you saw would have been calling 911 or something.

Spiders, dead rodents, 3 cups of unbleached flour, 5 lbs of mucus, rotting arm torn off a zombie...

It's a good sign when your kid comes in with a rotting arm torn off a zombie. Means they were able to fight them off. I suggest looking for bite marks though on the little tyke. No need to spread the zombie infection if you don't have to.
Our daughter, also about 3 at the time, got a bloody nose during the night. She got up from her bed and went back to sleep next to our bed on the floor. We woke up to a trail of blood from her room to ours and a big bloody spot on the floor next to our bed. It looked like a crime scene!
Actually Cat is the one who is a sick individual. Just ask him about the "crime scene" photos he took when I started bleeding once and left a trail of blood around the house.
HA! One of my rugrats pucked in my mouth while I had him over my head talking to him. Up my nose, mouth.
But the youngest topped it off, while my wife was bathing him at about two months old, she forgot to cover the firehose. Little punk peed straight into my mouth as I was talking.
Kids are nasty little things, good thing you love them.

how sad for your daughter. I hope her costume is salvageable--or that she can be happy with another costume. I remember being a kid and I always think it's cute when kids want to sleep in their costumes... I also remember being disappointed with having to dress in a last minute costume (most often something to the effect of rubbing dirt on your face, wearing your torn clothes and going as a 'hobo' (back when it wasn't politically incorrect to dress up like the homeless...))
