Boo-boo's

It's just a part of growing up. Ashlyn has already had a handful of skinned knees and elbows, bruises, and one busted lip in the past 2 years. Really she is lucky that she hasn't had more than that, but she is usually very cautious about everything that she does......until yesterday.
I picked her up at the babysitter's, and when I got out of the car she had this pitiful look on her face. Nancy told me that she had a little accident yesterday afternoon. Nancy was out back swinging Ashlyn when all of a sudden, kurplunk, Ashlyn fell face first out of the swing onto the ground. She had a busted nose and lip.
I picked her up and she hugged my neck so tight. I'm just thankful that she wasn't seriously injured. And poor Nancy......She felt TERRIBLE! I think that it may have scared her worse than it did Ashlyn.
When she woke up this morning her nose was extremely swollen and blue. I don't think that she broke it because it isn't crooked, but it looks really bad right now due to the swelling. I'm sure that it won't be the last time that something like this happens. I just hope that the swelling eventually goes down. It makes me hurt just thinking about it.
