At church on Sunday, February 2nd Brooklyn got her first major boo-boo. Of course Craig wasn't at church that day because he had KMK all weekend, so it made it all a little more stressful for me, but I do feel like I handled it well. So we are sitting in sacrament meeting and there is a family with 4 young kids sitting behind us and another family also with 4 young kids sitting in front of us. Brooklyn was having a great time going back and forth interacting with these kids. As we are listening to the testimonies Brooklyn is sitting on my lap playing with the kids in front of us. I took one hand and my eyes off of her to get a toy out of her diaper bag and before I know it she has slipped off my lap and is screaming bloody murder. Her face broke her fall on the corner of the hymn book holder. I rush out to the hall and get gasps from people that are out there. She immediately had a goose egg and it was bleeding a little bit. I was worried that it was so close to her eye and of course my husband the optometry student wasn't there, so someone grabbed a 4th year student who is in our ward. He checked her out and said that she was fine (of course Craig checked her out as well when he got home) and luckily another mom had some baby Tylenol. She only cried for about 10 minutes. Luckily she did great the rest of church and her eye didn't seem to bother her at all after the initial injury. I of course felt awful about it and I am so glad that kids are so quick to forgive and forget.
Here are a few pictures from the days following the "accident". As you can see she was happy regardless of her eye. I did get quite a few funny looks where ever we went. I'm sure some people thought I beat my child, but most people asked, "oh is she learning to walk?" and I would just say yep, so I didn't have to explain the whole thing.
