Jac fears the title of this post is what Tess may be saying some day about the Miss America crown. (Not that we condone that sort of activity . . . )
A few nights ago, our little princess was twirling in the living room – because that’s what princesses do. They twirl. – when she lost her balance and smoked her brow bone on the coffee table. It swelled immediately. The next morning her eye was swollen shut and had turned this lovely shade. At least it’s a “princess color” . . .
The swelling has gone down some, but we have her majesty living on Tylenol and we’re trying hard to ice it for her. She fights the ice, crying about how it’s cold and that she can’t see us with her “bofe” (read: both) eyes.
This injury has not deterred her from twirling and last night she was at it and fell again.
Something tells me we wouldn’t want her in high heels and an evening gown anyway. For her own safety, this princess can try for another crown.
Poor Tess!!! Looks like it hurts. It looks like she has on purple eyeshadow. i have a not so graceful princess, too. No high heels or gowns are way either. 🙂
Poor little gal – it must not have been any fun at all. But I was thinking the same thing as Amber – it looks like lovely purple eyeshadow! She is such a princess that even her injuries look “pretty!” Maybe you could get some purple eyeshadow and do up her other eye, too. Then you won’t have to answer all the questions that will surely come your way.
I’m a little worried about Tess. When I asked her how she got her boo boo, she told me, and I was relieved that no one had punched her. But Tessy had a different story about being punched by daddy. But later she told me it was just a play punch to the stomach and that it didn’t hurt. Ha Ha. I had to laugh! The things kids will tell you.
