Paloma had a hard week

She climbed to the top of a playground structure and fell off, hitting her mouth on a pole. Jackie called David who came home to see her. He brought a big popsicle on the way, hoping the ice would prevent some swelling.

Hours later when I got home, the other kids were enjoying popsicles on her behalf.




and Paloma's natural reaction was to say "cheeeeese" when I turned the camera her way.

The next day, however, her lip did look a lot worse.

Just in time for our family reunion... and I was planning to have her 2-year-old pictures made.
Poor baby. She asked for medicine for days afterward. We were worried about her teeth, but everything seems fine now.
