I was doing some things around the house, and I got a mama instinct to go pick up the baby who was crawling around on the floor. He had found a stool to pull up on and he was giddily leaning on it and bouncing.

When I got to within 2 feet of him, the stool tipped over on top of him. It was a big crash, and he was really upset. Immediately, I saw blood coming out of his eye, and I was really worried that he had punctured his eye.

It turns out that he just injured the area UNDER the eye. He now had a big bruised, black eye, but it is not so bad.

I consider this his initiation to many, many more bumps and bruises as he learns to walk and get around.

Daphne has a scar from her big bonk with my snap press when she was about the same age, it just is unavoidable sometimes!
