First Shiner

Our darling Kate came home yesterday with her first shiner.  Her class was playing on these rubber cubes that were spread out in her classroom and she lost her balance and tried to grab onto a nearby table for support with her hand, but that slipped as well.  Instead she grabbed onto the table for support with her face.  [Sigh.]

First shiner.  It's a bit blurry but it's what I've got.

I know that the teachers in the classroom could not have prevented this, persay.  And I know that these things can happen at home.  She did flip over our couch while she was running across it a month or so ago under complete supervision.  (She was fine, by the way.)  But it still makes me sad to see a bruise on my baby's face that occurred while I wasn't around.

I know she was comforted, but it wasn't by me, and that also makes me sad.  Fortunately, it doesn't look like it's going to get any worse than it is so we're going to load up on bananas and see if we can lessen the bruise time.

Even with a bruise on her face she is still my darling,
and still utterly adorable.  ♥
