Check Out This Shiner

Hannah got into a little fight with a dump truck this morning and lost.

Hannah’s best friend, Josiah, let her borrow this awesome dump truck for her to push around our living room. She absolutely loves walking behind it and thinks honking the horn is pretty great, too. But what this Mama loves most about it is that it’s virtually indestructible. I have yet to see her pull it over, which is a pretty important feature in a toy for almost-walking babies.

So Hannah was cruising along with said dump truck this morning when her feet got tangled and she dives head first into its seat. It didn’t move. It remained standing. All the while poor Hannah instantly bruised.

She cried for about a minute. Correction -- she screamed bloody murder for about a minute. You know, the high-pitched, shrill shriek that leads you to believe she’s dying a horrible, horrible death? But her Daddy fixed it quickly with snuggles and an ice pack, as you can see from the happy little girl in the picture.

Welcome to world of walking, little girl.

Josiah deeply apologizes for the pain and torment that Hannah went through!
I do love this picture, though! She is so proud of her bruise!
