Lesson LeArNeD!!

The girls LOVE wearing our sunglasses, so when I saw these precious kid sunglasses at the Dollar Spot at Target, I snatched them up. Reese and Riley were VERY excited to receive their fun treat. They put them on right away and trotted around like they were hot stuff while I took their picture!

And Riley the butterfly- she looks cute AND studious, don't you think??

It was allllll fun and games until RILEY got hurt. She was crawling (with her sunglasses on) toward the kitchen where Richey, Reese, and I were. She stopped right by Reese when she tripped and fell RIGHT ON Riley's head. The oh so cute sunglasses took a gash out of her little forehead. There was lots of blood. I got dizzy and passed her off to her daddy. I'm thankful he was home. We washed it, doctored it up, and put a bandaid on!

She wasn't too happy... :(

Then we noticed that blood was still visible... we looked again and decided that it was probably a bit deep and that she might need stitches. Poor baby! Thinking about the stitches made me dizzy. I passed the job on to her daddy. I'm thankful he was home.

Instead of stitches, our neighborhood ER, 'glued' her wound. It sounds better than stitches to me. When she got home, she was all giggles! Kids are quite resilient.

So... $1 sunglasses, lots of blood, and $300 ER bill later, I've learned... my children are still in their ClUmSy stage and knowing their parents... they probably won't grow out of it, so note to self: Think thru ALLLL possibilities- no matter how bizarre- before purchasing toys.
