Chicks Dig Scars

Tooter has suffered his first (of many, I'm sure) shiner. Compliments of his sister, sort of. I mean, she didn't mean to do it. It really was an accident. She was twirling with a yo-yo in her hand. Something Angelina Ballerina does, I think. Anyway, she was twirling, the yo-yo was flying through the air, and Tooter managed to walk right into it. WHAM!

This first picture was taken last Thursday morning, right after we returned from the doctor's office. Thankfully, his actual eye was unharmed, and he didn't need stitches.



This was taken on Friday. His eye is more swollen than the picture indicates, *but* this was the most swelling that he experienced, believe it or not.










This one was from Saturday. As you can see, the swelling has already gone down significantly, and the bruising has hit its peak.











And this one was taken Sunday after lunch, with Audrey, Granny, and Poodle. This gives a decent shot of the boy'ish black eye.

Again, thankfully, his eye wasn't harmed, so it became more humorous than anything. And, poor Poodle really did feel terrible about the accident. As of today, Tuesday, the bruising around his eye has decreased from the dark blue and purple to a lighter blue and green. I would guess that by this time next week, it will be almost gone completely. Ahhhh - to have a child's ability to heal!

And, like Jmk says.... "It's cool. Chicks dig scars." ;-)
