Meet Our Poster Child...

...for why we have to be careful around swings that are in motion!

The other day, Eli was in the baby swing (I have no idea why...and now he is banned) and Elina was pushing him.  Well, Eulee came around and got too close to the swing and *pow* she was knocked to the ground.  Face flat in the pebbles.  Screaming her head off.  B ran over and picked her up and she stopped crying.  So we knew it didn't hurt TOO badly.  But the cut on her face looked awful.  Then the next day, she started getting a black eye.  Poor thing!

Luckily, she's been healing quickly.  All the kids at school ask me what happened to Eulee and I tell them that this is the reason parents get so worried when their kids walk too close to swings that are moving.

So this is our black eye kid this year...

brings back bad memories about our black eye kid last year...

Evie's was definitely WAY worse, but it always pains me to see these kinds of injuries.  How about no more black eyes for the rest of the year?
