Another Fall?

I remembered the first fall she had, which also resulted in her lip bleeding, was when she was much younger and it was the first time she wore a 'tight' skirt(in woven material) - the the skirts she had worn prior to this piece, were usually in soft stretchable cotton and flare in cut, so more 'mobility'. Thus, I guess she wasn't used to it and she was running happily to hug me when she tripped, fell and cut her lip.

This time round, the cut seemed abit 'deeper' :(

It was around 10:30pm, she stood on the potty chair, moved about whilst waiting for me to get her toothbrush ready and perhaps, being a little tired, she lost her balance, slipped and FELL!!! I was squeezing the toothpaste onto her toothbrush then and couldn't catch her on time and she hit her lip against the basin, OUCH!!!

Though it must have hurt badly, she only cried for a short while and later said that she doesn't want to brush her teeth anymore, heeeee - Of cos not, well, at least for tonight or so. Then she started complaining that she won't be able to eat her porridge, golden pear and green pear(her absolute favourite) and pouted...

To pamper her, I told her to go pee and to sleep on my lap whilst I watch the TV on the sofa. Trying to sleep, she started to 'press press' her bolster, touch the sofa, stroke my arm - and that's when/where she saw a tiny patch of blood stain(hers) and started asking what it was(I didn't even know it was there). I just told her that it's just chocolate stain, so as not to trigger her 'pain' and she went "huh, chocolate?".

Slowly patting her to sleep, I had a better time to look at her lip and the sight of the wound just made my heart ached sooooo much... but comforting myself, I just listen to what daddy said "it's actually also good that she has these small falls(hopefully not too often), so she'll learn". But still...

Finally she slept and daddy carried her to her bed. I went in with them to help him but the minute he put her down, she started crying/reaching out for me with out-stretched arms and said that she doesnt want to sleep on her bed. To calm her, I quickly sat down on her bed to comfort her and she soon went back to sleep again... Hope she won't wake up crying tonight :(

The pic below will show U the cut on her lip but -WARNING :

I must warn those who love her lots - it'll break your heart to look at it.

(ok, to offer your aching heart a soothing effect, check out what Daddy said : look at her, she even posed with a slightly opened mouth for you to take the pic! hahaha)

oh, and the tiny patch of blood on my arm(can u spot it?)
