A First Big Boo Boo!

I think parents hurt more seeing their kids get hurt than the kids themselves. This accident made me so sad. I was babysitting our neighbor's two boys. One of the boys who is about 6 months older than Meira was playing with a ball and rolled it down our driveway into the road. I was holding Meira and ran after the ball. When we got to the ball I stopped it with my foot and then lost my balance. I fell on my hip and knee. Meira bonked her face on my shoulder. As you can see, her tooth went through the inside of her lip. :-( I felt awful about falling with her. So did she. Luckily that is all that happened and Meira soon recovered. She was a trooper. My poor beat up baby. :-(
