A Little Ham, and a Tender Chin

Like most kids, Wendy loves the camera. She likes to look at it & pretend to take pictures, and most of all, she likes to have her picture taken. If she finds my camera sitting on the table, she'll turn it on, hand it to me, and say, "More smile!" She loves to pose & then look at the display to see the picture of herself.

She's quite the little ham.


This morning, she and I were in the living room waiting for James to come down for breakfast. She was perky & energetic, as usual, jumping & flitting around the dining room while singing to herself. And then, out of nowhere, she tripped & hit her chin on the pointy corner of the coffee table.

It hurt - a lot - and it took quite a while to calm her down. She even asked for "more medicine," poor thing, but I figured the hurt would be almost gone by the time Tylenol made any difference.

Here's the aftermath. It even hurts me just to look at it!



Obviously I didn't have children when I bought the coffee table, or I never would've bought one with pointy corners!
