Accidents Happen...

I knew one day it was bound to happen and it finally did!!!

Tenley had her first BIG accident. Last week we had gone to see Grandpa & Grandnanna. Right before we left their house. Tenley was playing and she started running from me. I immediately saw that she was not lined up with the entryway. I reached to grab for her...but...I was too late.!!! She was looking at me to see if I was chasing...she turned and at the moment her forehead collided with the corner of the entryway. She hit so hard that it knocked her back on her bottom.
I reached down and picked her up and Goose rushed over to see. She already had a knot the size of a quarter on her forehead. There was a perfect purple bruised line from where she hit the corner. I made myself relax with the thought that the knot was on the outside. She was a trooper!!!
(I took this picture the morning after...as you can see most of the swelling had already gone down.)

JUST A LITTLE BIT LATER THAT NIGHT...

When we were leaving, Tenley decided to take off and run across the street. Grandpa went and got her. Daddy was not far behind. When Grandpa and Tenley met Goose on the way back. She quickly realized that she was about to get a "lecture" for crossing the street without someone else. So she started running from Goose. As soon as she hit the loose gravel in the driveway she busted and banged up her knee.

MORAL OF THE STORY: Children shouldn't run from their Mommy or Daddy!!!!
