My Baby has a Shiner

This is what her eye looked like yesterday after T hit her with a truck. It was an accident and not intentional. BUT - He was doing what we have asked him not to do. (He makes his trucks "fly", mid-air, or up and down, they fly on top of things, into things, all over.) I have said "trucks don't fly" a thousand times or more. He was in our bedroom "flying" his semi-truck and KL came up behind him at just the right time. She instantly started crying, then T started. He knew he was in trouble. I could tell he felt bad. For his "flying" he lost his truck. This totally set him off, screaming, crying and yelling. I was trying to console KL and each seemed to be trying to out-cry the other. Kimber was over and tried to help T understand why he lost his truck. Needless to say, it took awhile to reach a tolerable decibel level.

This is what her eye looks like today. The swelling has gone down a bit, but more dark under her eye.


I'm amazed that KL is the first with a black eye. There have plenty of time that I thought "that's gonna show", but never a mark.

I have a feeling that KL's going to have a lot of firsts, not the good kind either.
