OUCH!
Was intending to video Grace because she looks so irresistibly cute lying on the sofa, drinking her milk; but ended up capturing this on film accidentally instead.
Ouch! She missed her footing! My girl fell! AND IT'S A HARD FALL!!!
Needless to say, I was alarmed. Naturally, the first innate response is to rush up to her side and fuss over her; but I'm not an advocate of excessive mollycoddling. I was nastily alarmed, yes. But I've known my girl as one who doesn't cry easily; unless it hurts really badly enough.
She landed forcefully on her side before falling forward face-front from the impact. Her milk bottle sprawled across the floor. It took a split second for the pain to register before she started crying. Admittedly, a part of me was secretly hoping that she would rise up to her feet by herself and continue playing goodnaturedly, as she normally would. She always make me feel so proud of her; even in the little things. But when she burst into tears just now, my heart nearly broke. Oh my gosh! SHE'S CRYING! That must have really hurt!
I picked her up off the floor, carried her, and hugged her close. It only took just a bit of soothing and hugging and stroking, and her crying subsided within half a minute. NO KIDDING. That's my girl! Isn't she something?!
