Just Call Me...Mom of the Year

Today Olivia had her first major boo boo and it scared the crap out of me, to be blunt. We decided to start putting up Christmas lights today and Olivia wanted to help, like always. She climbed up the ladder behind Daddy. She's climbed a ladder a thousand times with no trouble(it makes me so nervous) but today her daredevil ways caught up with her. The second time she followed Paul up the really tall ladder she fell off while climbing back down to me. Talk about FREAKING out, that would be an understatement. I'm not kidding when I say it took less then a second for her to turn around say Mommy and hit the ground. She fell about 6 feet. I grabbed her so fast and saw blood, I started crying, she was crying, and well Paul was calm(like always during a crisis). After calling all the grandparents for help and the doctors office we ended up at the doctors house. Yep, you read that right Dr. Sabban didn't want us to have to wait in the ER to find out she was ok so she told us where she lives and had us come to her house, how awesome is that. She checked Olivia over and assured us that she was ok just a little bruised and swollen. She has a fat lip, a very swollen nose, and scratches on her face. Here are a few shots taken today after the fall. You can't see it real clear but believe me her cute little nose is quite swollen. She's not so happy to have the camera shoved in her face. See the scratches to the left of her nose, I think she may have it a tree root.
Yesterday helping Daddy check the lights. As you can see there are no scratches or bruises and no ladders around to fall off of.
We have more yard art and Christmas lights then should be legal, believe me. A few years ago Paul bought some 2 deer for out yard. Last year when Olivia joined the family he felt it necessary to buy her a little baby deer for the yard. We pulled it out the other day and showed it to her. Her response was *aaawww*. She has been loving this deer ever since. Here she is giving it a little smooch. How stinkin cute is this?!?!?!

Olivia is not only a daredevil she's pretty clever too. Not wanting to hold her cup yesterday and being about 10 feet from the table she stuck it in the deers belly for safe keeping. My kid cracks me up:)

Poor Olivia! I'm sure that since she's such a daredevil she'll have a few more accidents. As for the cup, she always finds a unique place to put her cup when she doesnn't need it. Remember, accidents happen that's why they're called "accidents" not "purposes".
