the best present of all
[my title is oozing in sarcasm...]
erica and i went out for a walk yesterday afternoon. It was such a nice day. Just a little breezy, but not cold at all. andrew had taken her out earier in the week to walk up and down the sidewalk and she liked it, so i decided to try it too.
We were having fun; just walking up and down the sidewalks. she was really enjoying the time outside. Well, after maybe 20 minutes we started heading home. She was starting to walk a little too fast, and i said: "erica, slow down a little." Just as i said it---
WAMM!!!
she fell and landed on the pavement. Luckily, she had her hands out and stopped herself-- but then tumbled over and landed on her face. [the lucky part being that it could have been a lot worse.]
so, my baby [she's not a baby anymore] has a nasty cut-up face. she has a huge scrape on her forehead. the side of her nose and the top of her nose are scraped badly also. One of her fingers is also really red-- but i think its b/c she's been sucking on it alot lately and its getting rather chapped.
i'm so afraid to take her out into public. i was gonna go out and about today. but now i think i'll just stay home. i dont want people thinking: "what did that woman do to her child?"

Awe, poor little rascal! I bet she cried hard on that one! There is nothing worse than watching your child in pain. My daughter who is 5 fell down the stairs last night. It was a nasty fall, luckily she didn't break anything. My wife was at the ER till 1:00 last night.
Poor baby. She's had it rough lately, hasn't she?
her little scrapes are healing. the forehead hardly looks bad anymore. she still has that scab on her nose-- which makes it SO HARD to wipe her nose, since she has a cold. ah well.
Awe, the pictures are really cute, the poor little thing. I hope she is getting better fast. I finally got a Xanga, check it out www.xanga.com/earlmadcap84
no, val, no!!!
xanga is CRAPPY! its soooo un-user-friendly. blogger is amazing!
(i say this out of experience.)
Aw hon. They all do that. It's part of learning to walk. haha
Riley did it too. He has a nice "character" scar in the middle of his right eyebrow. :)
