Well over the weekend my big girl got her first black eye. She was playing when she fell and hit her eye/face on the desk. Thank goodness my dad and Maureen were there! My dad took Leah, Maureen got ice and I tried to comfort my big girl. I fought back my tears and stayed strong for Brynnie as I watched her eye swell up. The ice finally got the swelling down some and Brynn finally stopped crying. We both survived the first black eye. Now it looks a lot worse than it is. She hasn't been bothered by it but it breaks my heart everytime I see her colorful eye. It is currently a pretty purple color and a hint of yellow around the edges! A good way for Brynn to learn her colors!
Don't I wish I could protect my girls from ever getting hurt!!! I was so sad for Brynn and then I started to think about all the "boo boos" she'll get in life and of all the "boo boos" she'll get that ice can't fix. Isn't it soooo sad to think of our children getting their feelings hurt by other kids and having kids pick on them...we've all been there but I so want to protect my babies......It breaks my heart to think of the many times I'll see both of our girls crying over big and small things in life. I can't imagine the first time one comes home upset over something another kid said or did to them. I'm sure we'll get through it, but I bet I'll shed many tears.
