I was on the phone with my girlfriend, sorting through Ansleigh's and Hudson's clothes when I saw Ansleigh coming around the bend, like a bat out of..., and just about then, she tripped, and like a scene out of a movie, I leaped to grab her, only to miss. Pretty much, it was the worst thing ever. Probably even worse, I saw the whole thing happen--never good--because if you SEE it happen, you somehow think you could have prevented it from happening, since you were there, of course. I seriously thought her brains were protruding from her skull *see picture*, but hadn't broken skin. So, Momma called the doctor and the doctor said, no more monkeys running fast in the house with last year's Santa outfit on.
***(I was going through Ansleigh's closet and I was trying to pack some old things away--kinda didn't get done in the move, anyways, PLUS every time I try to pack away this Santa outfit, she pulls it out and puts it on--so that's the story behind the Santa outfit in July.)
So I took the picture because I knew no one would believe how bad it really was. The first question the doctor's office asked was: Was there an instant bruise? YESSS! Little did I know, that's good! It means it's on the surface. If your child takes a bad fall and there isn't an instant bruise, that's when you need to be worried. Hmmmm? Didn't know that! After icing it down, it started to look a ton better. Seriously, what's next in the Toone household?
Right afterwards the movie scene trip, me freaking out, and me running around in a panic trying to get a baggie of ice, call Roy, then the doctor, and find the camera (oh, to have been a fly on the wall....):
And my sweet angel after the ice did it's magic (seriously, ice is way underestimated...totally magical):
Later that night, drinking some milk (like Santa) and rubbing her tummy (like Santa), while wearing a "3/4 length shirt" and "capri" pants, Santa style--size 2T. We are all better now (Mom too, for those of you who may have been worried about my heart...stopping).

Savannah had one the other day that looked almost identical to that one. She walked into a door. She really has to learn to watch where she is walking.
Too cute in her santa suit! And Little man has a goose egg so big one time I couldn't believe it! Thank goodness I didn't see that one b/c he knocked into a wall corner at school!!! Yikes!
