Enter my giveaway here !!
It's no secret that I'm a klutz and that my poor daughter has inherited that gene from me. She's fallen, she's tripped, she's been down for the count.
The other day has taken the cake in the klutz-o-meter.
Her first black eye.
She and I were getting ready to start our day and I was putting away her laundry while she did what she always does, run around like a crazy 23 month old. I literally turned my back for two seconds to slip a shirt on a hanger and next thing I hear is a crash and then screams.
She tripped over her own two feet and landed, eye first, on to her step stool.
Her wooden step stool.
Her hard ass wooden step stool.
It started bruising up immediately and then came the swelling.
I felt HORRIBLE!
Two days later, it looks like half her eye was eaten by some monster. She's so bruised that my heart breaks every time I look at her.
But she is a champ. She barely notices it and continues doing what she does... :)
I'm still learning to accept that children fall down and bump their heads. I'm still learning to accept that it's not my fault every time she trips over her own to feet or slips on the only piece of paper in a two mile radius.
Now if I could only learn to accept that if she doesn't slip on that one piece of paper, I will. :)

Oh - poor baby! My 2 year old had the black eye from falling off a very high part of the playground. Man was I embarassed and felt like I had to tell the exact story to everyone that saw her preceded by -"I did not do this". Just think...this isj ust the beginning of the bumps and bruises. I am not up for it!
oh, that sucks. I'm not a klutz myself, but my oldest is - she inherited long limbs and a fabulous metabolism from her dad, so something had to give I guess.
Once she fell from the stairs. Believe me when I say we were both crying - I felt horrible!
Oh that is sad that she has a bruise on her eye. I know it was more devistating for you than her. I feel the same way when my baby gets hurt. No one is coming after you though. LOL It makes us feel that way doesn't it.
oooh poor thing!! I know all about the klutz thing! It was genetic for me too! haha
Poor little sweetie.
I'm trying to come to the same terms of babies get little bumps. Babe got a bit of a black eye on his little toy fisher price piano. He crawled over me and smacked the edge of his eye on it. Sure enough he had a bit of black eye for about a week or so.
Poor little thing!
Oh poor Roo! I hope she is feeling better!
That is the first of many injuries, I am sure!
