It's all fun and games...

Well, Elisabeth has finally gotten her first black eye. You should see the other guy.

We ate pancakes for dinner at church on Fat Tuesday -- and perhaps it was all the sugar, or maybe just the excitement of eating in a church, or just trying to get it all out of her system before Lent starts -- but our little angel was playing with her friend Eric (while the grownups sat in another room and chatted), and apparently the two gave each other a pretty decent "head butt". Being a total trooper, Elisabeth wiped her tears and continued to run around the church. Until we started to notice that the red cheek we assumed was from all of the chasing was starting to turn black. Upon closer inspection of what we then assumed was merely a dirty face we discovered a nice little black egg on her cheekbone. It's lovely. Today it's spread to under her eye. I wonder what tomorrow holds?

And for all of you insiders that know about my Mama Mia's accident: Elisabeth's very first question after the pancake incident? "Is my chin turning black too?"
