Princess Bruiser

Daddy has been calling Abigail Princess Bruiser lately. She just can't get through a week without some injury, and last week's was a doozy. She was climbing the play structure by using a stretchy jump rope that was tied to the top. It came undone, and the wooden handle smacked her in the face. Though you can't see it very well in the picture, it was very swollen and turned a very pretty shade of purple as well as giving her two black eyes before finally healing up this week.


We had an appointment with the pediatrician the next day, and when he asked her how it happened Abby said very seriously, "Let me tell you the whole story!" She then proceeded to start her story a year ago when Granpa and Daddy built the play structure! Thankfully, there were no broken facial bones, just a bruises and sore spots.
