In my Mommy and Me Monday this week, I told you I’d let you know about Natalie’s incident.
You see, she got in a fight at the playground.
And she lost.
Bad.
I’m pretty sure she left a bit of her face behind that day.
That rubber stuff they put on the surface of the playground apparently holds sand really well. So, not only did her face scoot along the rubber, but it also rubbed across the sand. Basically, my baby has road rash on a quarter of her face.
The good thing is, she’s a trooper. She cried for less than a minute, and then she went right back to playing. And, she hasn’t been bothered since.
The bad thing is today is her 18 month birthday and we will always have that little reminder of her first “fight.”
In all seriousness, she’s really doing quite well with it, and it is healing very nicely.
Head over to Angie’s place to see more Wordful Wednesdays. Because, I’m not the only one that can’t keep my mouth shut!

Poor little thing. I dread the day that Mia has her first incident!
Bless her little heart…good thing she only cried for a minute.
That is the hardest part of scrapes for me…the crying. I hate to see my babies upset.
Oh my gosh that looks painful! My 5 yr old happened to be here by the computer when I opened your blog up, all she could say was "owie mom, owie"
Hope she feels better soon!
Aww, poor Natalie!!

YIKES!
Good thing kids are soo resilient!
Poor baby! I am glad she is healing nicely!
Of course she's a trooper, she's got you as a Momma!
I hate going to the Pedi's office with bruises on their bodies, it makes me feel like they are getting ready to report me.
I hope she is looking better already.

Oh no! Poor sweetie
But it is AMAZING how resilient children are. My son will fall and I can't BREATHE it looks so painful. And he's wiping away tears and running laps before I can even get over to him.
