A bump
Ella got hurt a little this weekend. This photo doesn't really do her injury justice because it doesn't actually show the mini golfball sized bump protruding from her forehead.
She was on a friend's swing that was hanging from a tree. Cameron pulled her back and pushed her a little too hard forward. Instead of gliding back and forth through the hair and squealing with delight, her head slammed into the tree, and screams quickly followed.
But unlike my other two kids, who can't seem to brush off any minor scrape with some sense of normality, Ella only cried for a little bit, and was back to running around in no time.
It wasn't until later that I actually even noticed the bump. When she woke up from her nap, Melvin noticed the cut and bump, and immediately applied some ointment to prevent any kind of infection...what a doctor he is!
Except now because of his actions, we might have social services knocking on our door sometime soon. Because when asked about the "owwie" on her head, Ella doesn't remember that it was Cameron that caused it, but rather she only recalls that Melvin put some ointment on it....and her response to any inquiry about her injury is:
"Daddy did it!"

It must be being number three...I have had more bumps with my third one than the other two combined!
So, does the tree have a big dent in it?
Way to shake it off Ella. You're a tough little girl.
HOORAH! That's what NyCee says when she gets an "owwie."
Good job Ella. Shake it off and show your brothers how it's done!!!!!!
Hah..i'll be expecting a call and report on this injury sometime soon. I'll see if i can pull any strings so melvin only gets minimal jail time.
