The Rock
The Fort
The Bruise
While I was at breakfast early this morning with my friend Marcie I got a call from John who was wondering when I'd be home. He sounded a little stressed, so Marcie and I called it a morning and went home to our families. When I got home I realized why. Ava had a bruise on her forehead! Considering the child cannot sit, let alone crawl or walk, this is going to be difficult to explain. Turns out the boys made a fort for her under the little table in their room. Somehow the blanket was weighted down with a few rocks from their rock collection. Bad idea. Oh, ouch, it hurts to think about it. I guess there are some advantages to being isolated in a crib your whole life, you don't have to experience too many bumps and bruises. Ava is the most forgiving little thing though. Liesel said she cried for about a minute, then gave her a big smile. I wish I had been here to comfort her the first time she got a bruise. :(

oh baby. :( I saw the fort pics on Johns blog this morning...musta been BEFORE the rock incident. The boys must feel awful, too. Kiss my girl for me, willya?
i'm sorry ava had a rock fall on her head, but i'm sure you guys can see the beauty in a very "typical kid" injury for your little girl. it's all part of being a little sister...she's so thankful for that, she smiled soon after!

OK, the bruise is NOT funny....but the title of your blog post is. I can just hear people asking you what happened and you answering with "a rock fell on her head".....I bet you're going to explain that one A LOT!
As for the bruise, at least you'll always remember how she got her first bump on the head. And I think that makes it official....she's the baby sister!
Sorry - we had to laugh. Our kids actually built a fort today too - and guess what they held the blankets with - 5 and 10 pounds weights from a weight set! Ouch too! It'll make her tougher in the long run.

can I just add...those EYELASHES are to die for :)
Aw, poor thing. What a trooper.
Awwww, Ava! I'm glad she's okay...like Shelley said, your blog title is hilarious, but the rock falling on her isn't...you are so funny Charissa :o) And also, like Michelle said, those sweet little eyelashes are to die for! They just about touch the little lenses on her glasses! I was wondering, how are YOU feeling with your pregnancy?
