Well, we had a fun night last night until Genevieve took a dive into her chair and split her brow. Then it was a little scary. She held her breath until she got so weak that she just lay limp in my arms. She was so ghostly white. It really freaked me out. Tyler was a huge help running to get me a bag of frozen corn and then some tissue to clean off the blood. Then he ran back downstairs to get her some milk so she would lay still while I played doctor. Then he ran to get the phone so I could call Dad and the doctor's office. The nurse told me to see if I could pull it open and check how deep it was. YUCK! That made my tummy churn, but I did it anyway and noticed that it really wasn't that deep. So....no stitches or visit to the doctor were needed. THANK GOODNESS! I still didn't put her in her bed for many hours so that I could keep an eye on my sweet baby girl.
Why does it always look worse in person. I swear - with the blood and the bruise and puffiness - it looked ten times worse than it does in these photos.
This is Genevieve this morning. She woke up yelling, "owie, owie, owie..." until I came in to get her. She pointed to her eye to show me where she hurt. Poor baby!

It was about this time last year that she got a black eye from falling into our desk drawers. We'll have to see if this is a yearly thing for her. I sure hope not!
