We have these tall, 3 tier white stacking bins where we store the girls’ toys. A few weeks ago Sophia (and therefore Phoebe) discovered she could climb to the top tier and then reach anything on the nearest counter. This past Sunday she discovered this small space we have in between the wall and the stacking bins. I stored a pop up crawl through tunnel back there. She climbed into the space (and therefore Phoebe did too). We were able to get this sweet pictures of the girls standing on the tunnel and peeking their heads over the edge. This picture is PRE-injury….

I had to go to Urgent Care for a foot problem and when I got back Sophia had THIS on her forehead. POST-injury….

BJ said she slipped and smacked her head on the corner of the toy bin. Thankfully it wasn’t her eye and was just in between her eyes. And I am also thankful she didn’t need stitches. It was small, but deep. She is still swollen but it has scabbed over and is already looking better. We kept her dosed up on children’s ibuprofen and she acts like it almost never happened. What a trooper!

I was attempting to clean up the kitchen after dinner and the girls, like usual, were under foot. I asked BJ if he could take the girls out and play with his RC car to get them out of the way. He couldn’t because of a battery issue. So my reply to him was “Aw, BJ, you’re breaking my heart.” Sophia comes running up to me and says sweetly, but very matter of factly, “Daddy broke your heart. I am going to fix it!” And gives me a kiss on the arm. Love that kid!
