hooray! it is finally beautiful outside! we can play on the playground and walk in the woods! it is going to be awesome!
so.... we go to the park. it was great. i marvelled at how well little bean was doing. she was climbing the steps and going down slides- even the big slide- by herself. she even climbed the "rock wall" without any real assistance. i was amazed and feeling very proud as i walked up the steps behind her. then it happened- she slipped. oh yeah, it was awesome. i thought she hit her fore head, nope. freaked out a little when i saw a tiny spot of blood on her nose- because i didn't have anything with me to take care of a nose bleed! then she opened her mouth... yeah, this was no nose bleed. i gave her her sippy cup and told her she had to "drink the water" because there was pretty much a mouth full of blood and i could not see what was going on in there. of course i was NOT ALLOWED to look in her mouth but i saw enough to know that she still had all her teeth so i was happy with that. split lip, no major trauma we will be fine... after the swelling goes down!
i don't really mind that she got hurt. i would much rather her want to go out exploring and doing for herself than sit inside and be "safe". she loves doing, she loves seeing, she loves life and i love life when i am with her. i mean, this sweet little child with the fat lip and slightly swollen nose asked me "go back playground?" a mere 15 minutes after she got hurt. you gotta love that! i told her we would try to go back tomorrow.about a half an hour after this picture was taken she was dancing around like a crazy person giggling uncontrollably. i love that about her. i know that she will probably tell me that she fell down at the playground tomorrow but it won't make her want to stay home. she will most likely insist on going back because she will remember that i said we could. its not that she isn't scared- she just isn't afraid of being scared. don't you wish we could all be like that?
