Lauren's rough weekend.....

So it was a beautiful 66 degree day on Saturday.....and of course Lauren wanted to play outside. Well we were outside, playing whiffle ball, kicking the ball around (she's got great dribbling control!), chasing bubbles....the usual. Daddy got out the golf clubs to see if she has any skills like Tiger (minus the infidelity). Well, the clubs were a little long and she needs them cut off, but she was still dragging them around the yard. She happened up on the patio and somehow got tangled up in one, tripped and fell, completely kissing the concrete. Ouch.

You can see the road rash on her nose, still evident today. Doesn't look as bad as I feel it does. Poor thing.


What a way to turn 17 months! She ended up sleeping with mom and dad because she was pretty swollen and both of us were worried about her breathing if it got any worse. She woke up a little puffy, red-nosed like Rudolph and a little bit of a black eye.

But she did learn. We were outside today and she tripped over her bubble wand. She definitely didn't kiss the concrete as she caught herself and kept her face off the ground....thank goodness!
