Our Little Bruiser

Anyone who hangs around Taylor long enough will realize she seems to be prone to accidents.  I know part of it is the age she's at but Taylor is particularly good at falling down.  And she's got the bruises to prove it. 

The black eye is from last weekend.  We were at our nephew's birthday party and there was a bouncy house.  Taylor went in the bouncy house with some older kids.  She was fine at first and seemed content with just sitting on the floor and letting the other kids' movements bounce her.  But then she got a little adventurous and tried walking around the bouncehouse....with a cup in her hand.  And of course she tripped and the cup circled her eye perfectly.  She also busted her lip open and got a nice fat lip for the day.  Thankfully the lip has healed.
Now look closely at her ear.  See that bruise?  That's from the other night when Walker took her to the park.  She started going down the stairs of the playground structure and slipped and caught the railing with her ear.  Walker was not being negligent.  He just couldn't get to her fast enough to catch her. 
And like any of her accidents, Taylor cries for a minute and then is over it.  Thank goodness kids are resilient!  Now if we could just stop her from climbing all over the furniture....
