Shiner

Lauren was on the playground at school yesterday, playing tag with some "new friends".  Lauren was "it" and chasing the other kids when somehow or other she and a boy's head collided.  Apparently she didn't know what to do, so she went and sat on some steps, bawling - and her good friend Briana came and sat with her.  Once her teacher noticed, she was taken to the nurse to make she she didn't have a concussion or anything.  She is doing great, and doesn't even mention it even though it looks like this:

I just keep wondering if she could have fractured her cheekbone with an impact like that!  As you can see, it has even caused her to have her first black eye as well.  Wow!  

When we were all talking together last night, Justin told her, "When things like that happen, we just have to learn from them."  I said, "And you learned that you need to watch where you are going."  She said, "No-o-o-o!"  When I asked her what she HAD learned she said, "I learned I shouldn't run with my eyes closed!"

And Justin and I tried to stifle our laughter.

So true, baby girl.  So true.

Happy weekend, everyone!
