Mary Vs. The Caterpillar




This is what happens when your 7 year old falls face first off of the "Caterpillar" (monkey bars that are shaped like a caterpillar) on the school playground. Actually, the pictures don't really do the injury justice. Thankfully I was at school for a meeting when the accident happened.. and we did end up going to the hospital (Her nose swelled up right away and from casual observation it definitely looked broken.) Thankfully it isn't broken. She is just really banged up - including a huge bruise in her mouth and a large cut where your upper lip connects with your upper gum.
As a side note, it was almost exactly a year ago when she fell off the monkey bars (not the caterpillar one ;) on the playground and broke her wrist/arm. Apparently the month of May and playgrounds aren't a good thing for Mary!

Ouch! Next year, make sure she keeps her feet on the ground when playing! :)
