Clumsy runs in the family

My mom would tell you that Grandma Casey used to tease that she wondered if I was getting beaten as I always had a goose egg or bruise of some sort on my head. Mostly I liked climbing up the stairs and couldn't quite make the corner and down I would come into the door at the bottom.





Well Emily is obviously just like her mama. However, there are no stairs to the second floor at our house so she just turned and took off running and found a wall instead. Not just any part of a wall. But the corner where 2 walls don't even have a rounded edge. She sounded like Ed stamping his foot on the floor as hard as his boots would let him. I couldn't get up fast enough as I was sitting on the floor about 6 feet away when she did it and had a perfect view. I scooped her up and put ice on it. In a matter of seconds, the goose egg was already turning purple and swelling up the size of a real egg. I know Laura has fallen and gotten a few bumps but nothing like this. Can't say I had seen one that size in person before. I held her for a long time and kept ice on it and got my flashlight out to check her eyes. Luckily about an hour later the swelling started to go down a little and she seemed okay.
