And by other little girl, I mean the stairs the little dummy barrel rolled down. It was one of the prettiest shiners I've seen. Unfortunately, I couldn't get a picture that really did this thing justice. It's the best (worst) black eye I've seen in a long time.
Here are some fun things about having a kid with a black eye:
--You basically have to stay indoors until it heals because people assume you are beating the kid.
--Telling someone your kid fell down the stairs and got a black eye sounds about as believable as "she ran into a door knob."
--Telling people your kid fell down the stairs when you live in an apartment without stairs makes you sound even sketchier.
Also, it's really neat when you invite some people over for dinner the day after she gets the black eye, and then realize the last time you invited them over, she also had a face injury. Which again makes telling someone, "She fell down some stairs" really believable!
Anyhow, Tess fell down the stairs at someone's house after play group. Fortunately, she is back to her normal self...as in she won't stop talking. She never stops talking!

I can totally relate. Sam fell down the stairs about a week ago and has been limping on his foot ever since. (We've taken him in for an x-ray, but nothing appears to be broken.)
At least Sam's limp isn't as noticeable as Tess' shiner. Poor kid!
I don't know if we can have you watch Leo now... he might fall down the stairs :)
