Bump!

Look at my poor little love! Her very first proper head bump! On Friday afternoon, my little princess and I were doing one of our favorite things we do upon arriving home in Naas, namely browse around in the Barker & Jones bookstore on the mainstreet. And in the midst of all this browsing and Look-At-The-Handy-Manny-tools-in-this-magazine and twirling (as toddlers often do!), Nahla took a giant tumble into one of the display tables and this was the result. Obviously this Mummy freaked out big time! It was like when somebody bumps their head in a cartoon - the bump just seemed to grow out of her head in no time! All blue and huge and scary! But my tough little cookie, after having wiped away the initial tears, took it all in her stride, well helped by the chocolate lollipop provided by the nice store manager!

And now, 4 days later, all that is left on my little love's perfect forehead, is a tiny little yellow bruise, not even visible to those who are not aware of the tumble adventure. And this Mummy feels like she can cross another thing of on her Things Parents Have To Cope With list!
