Riley's shiner.


Yesterday morning Riley was carrying one of the toddler chairs we have when he tripped. I didn't actually see it happen because he was on the other side of the island, but I heard the chair hit the floor followed by crying. I'm guessing when he fell his face landed on one of the legs. When I first examined him it didn't look very bad, I saw a scrape and lots of redness around his eye. It didn't take long for the swelling to start. The above picture is later that night.



This is what he looked like before he went to bed.



It was a little swollen the next morning.






Day 2 the bruise really started to set in. I was getting looks at the store from strangers! Then we went to the library and there was a social worker in the play room supervising a couple with their child. I was hoping Riley wouldn't look directly at her, but he had to be his friendly self and say hi! His eye looked even worse than this a couple of days later when the bruise was at it's darkest and went all the way around his eye. I never got any pictures of that though. Luckily this happened the day after we had family pictures taken!
