Mary Claire's Fall From Grace

Mary Claire loves her little pair of plastic generic crocs. She wears them constantly. However they are getting a little snug. During our fun trip to Wal-Mart (to buy something as exciting as nursing pads) we walked by shoe department and there to catch Mary Claire's eye, (but obviously not her fall) were some new, shiny, pink plastic crocs. As I moved closer to look for her size, MC decided she couldn't wait any longer and reached for the closest pair. Obviously they weren't close enough because next thing I knew, her face had introduced itself to the floor. She started crying, her nose started to bleed, and a large goose egg was beginning to appear on her forehead. No one but those behind the security cameras saw it happen thank goodness so no looks of "You are the worst mother I have ever seen" or "Why would you allow her to stand up in your cart" or "If I had children, I would at least keep an eye on them in public." I already thought those things about myself! I quickly picked her up and awkwardly pushed my cart holding the car seat with Emmi in it and of course the box of nursing pads to the frozen veggie aisle to get some corn to keep it the swelling down. We quickly purchased our two items and headed for the car. I was so worried she had a concussion but no throwing up and her eyes were not dilated so she seemed ok. She felt better after her nap and then Bailey came home from school and thought it would be a good idea to dance with her and spin her around. All of a sudden she falls to the floor screaming and holding her foot. My immediate thought is "What if her foot is broken? Could i seriously take her to the ER with a knot on her head, a black eye and a broken foot and not have CPS get involved? After a few minutes she started putting pressure on it again saving us from an ugly trip to the hospital. She looked bad last night, worse this morning, but looked better as the day progressed. However, we won't be going to any public places for a while! She is still happy. What a trooper!
