Black eye

Poor Julia....

Daycare called about noon yesterday and said Julia would have a black eye when I picked her up and they just wanted to warn me.

I guess Julia was trying to climb up the slide while another kid was coming down it. Julia ended up with a foot in the eye. It was not as bad as I was expecting. She has a cut on her upper eyelid, a red area below her eye, the entire eye is slightly swollen, and yes, it is turning into a black eye.

It looked about the same this morning. The cut looked a little better, though. Still all red and slightly swollen. It had not turned into a true black eye yet.

Then when I was combing her hair this morning, I noticed another bruise right at her hairline in the middle of her forehead. I bet that is where the other foot made contact. I did not notice it last night, so it must have appeared overnight.

Daycare said Julia was a real trooper about it. She got over it really quickly and was back to playing in no time. She is one tough kid!

BUT, this does nix the family photo I was planning on doing next week. I wanted to do it over a month ago, but Julia fell at daycare and ended up with this awful, ugly bruise on her cheek that is just now finally going away. I might have to just have a photo taken anyway. There is always going to be some bruise or cut.
