Our First Boo-Boo

Evelyn loves to dance, as we all know. She recently has seen The Fresh Beat Band jumping around and decided she should try, too. So she's been jumping. She just kind of pushes her weight up and onto her tippy-toes. It's pretty cute.

Friday we were getting ready to go to the doctor for a check-up and I was in my room getting dressed when I heard Evelyn begin to cry. I went in her room and she was sitting on the floor by her rocking chair. I picked her up to comfort her and the crying stopped in a few short seconds. After a few minutes I realized there was a quarter size red knot on the right side of her head that looked pretty painful so I immediately dosed her with some Tylenol. I brought it to the nurse's attention at the doctors office and she said Evelyn should be fine. While we wait in our room at the doctor Evelyn likes to walk around and talk, hearing herself echo. She was having a blast until she decided to try and jump again. This time she fell hitting her face on the corner leg of a chair. It immediately swelled up and turned purple and the skin came so close to splitting. She was hysterical and it looked so painful! She cried for quite some time but the doctor said not to worry. He said it will swell and she may have a black eye but she will be fine. Well, he was right!

Right after the second fall:
