That Rug is going to be the Death of one of us!

Well, we had a little accident last night. My mom has A LOT of rugs in her house. There is a particular one in her great room that leads to the hallway. I think EVERYONE has had their fair share of tripping episodes on that rug. Last night was Cecily's turn. However, she did not fare quite as well as the rest of us have. Cecily's typical walk is a VERY quick run, and she tripped over that rug going full speed right into the corner of my mom's hutch. Thank heaven I wasn't watching, or I'd be having nightmares about it. But Derrick and my mom saw the whole thing. I only heard the loud "WHACK!" Then there was the pause...and then the heart-wrenching cry. Now Cecily is our little actress who can pull out huge "crocodile" tears when she is fake crying. So you can just imagine her tears now. But she cracks me up! As soon as Derrick started playing piggies with her toes, she was totally fine! The pictures here were taken just a couple of minutes after the accident. We were really surprised that it wasn't worse. I thought the swelling was pretty scary looking, but all that was left this morning was a scab. Thank heaven!
