my poor baby girl

We went to a birthday party this afternoon for a classmate of Sophia's named Miles. The local fire department came out and let the kids crawl around on the truck. They had a ton of toys and stuff to do in the back yard. One of the things to do was a bouncy house. As we were leaving Sophia ran off to jump one more time. I wish she had listened to me now and avoided her first black eye:

I am more mad at myself. I asked her to get her shoes so we could leave and I saw her jumping into the house and decided to let her play a few more minutes. I have been feeling like all I do is say NO. All. Day. Long. And feeling like in saying no I am robbing her of some fun. So, I let her jump. Next thing I know she is screaming. And one of the moms said we had an accident. Out of the bouncy house comes my baby girl.



To add insult to injury she is bruised basically from head to toe. We went to the pool last week and she got a bruise there and the gnarly bruise on her kneee is from a fall at the movie theatre. When do they outgrow the clumsiness? It seems she cannot walk anywhere and in her haste she falls. Here is a picture of my lovely girl in all her bruisiness.


Here is to hoping we have a better week this week. Hopefully I will say Yes more often and my kids will turn out safe and have had all the fun a summer day can bring.
