oh, it just breaks my heart every time I look at Parker. My poor sweet beautiful baby girl with her face worthy of a great knock out - just not the right kind of "knock out". Her face is looking a little better--maybe. In the scheme of it healing, it definitely is, the swelling is better, but she is definitely getting black eyes now. My poor baby! I'm so amazed at how resilient kiddos are though. If it was me, I wouldn't leave the house for a month, but Park doesn't care. She was full on ready to go to Costco last night and by golly we better call Patrick and Baby Kate to see if they want to go to Cafe' Costco too! So we had a great evening of Costco hot dogs, pizza and the returned hand dipped ice cream bar - yummy! Sorry for the dairy intake Meyer! I promise I only had a few bites! It's the middle of the night currently - I woke up since I was sleeping with Parker in her bed - I agreed to sleep with her when she looked at me with her poor pitiful swollen face and said but I hurt my head momma, I don't want to sleep in my own bed. Now I'm heading back to my own bed, but my Zen (my MP3 player that I listen to audio books on) was totally dead and so I'm doing a little quick charging to get me through the 5 minutes I'm sure it will take me to fall back asleep. Wow, I'm a total Zen addict. But anyway, I will take some more pics in the morning to document the healing process. My poor baby!
Sometimes being a parent is painful - especially when your child takes a header into the concrete - but it seems to be part of the greater scheme of things and helps build resiliency for the long haul; for both parent and child.
ReplyDeleteStill, it hurts to look at those pictures!
