Izzy's Fall

I was watching a friends little girl the other day and she was being so helpful watching Izzy. Well, Izzy got up onto the kitchen counter. She does this all the time and she will either climb down or wait for us to find her and get her down.

Well, the little girl visiting thought she would help and told Izzy to jump down and she would catch her! I don't think she realized how big Izzy really was and her 6 yr old frame couldn't catch her.

Izzy's face hit the tile floor. It wasn't pretty. It was a very loud thud followed but her crying. It was 15 seconds before I got to her and the bump was already the size of a golf ball and bruising. Poor baby. Here is a picture about 10 minutes after it happened. The bump is covered in arnica cream.

While at camp this last week, we noticed that her eyes were black and blue as well. Turns out she must have hit her whole face. Both eyes and the sides of her temples had brusing. She is one tough cookie! Here is the best pic I could get. She didn't want to hold still.

If only it taught her to stay off the counters. Sigh.
