Tough Cookie

HPIM3559 This is Noelle’s “worm”.  She rides it like a maniac all over the court keeping up with the big kids.  A few weeks ago when the weather was nice Dave took Noelle around the block on the worm while he rode Thomas’ scooter (dangerous!).  It was getting dark and Thomas and I had already come in for the night.

HPIM3561While trying to cross the street and get up on the sidewalk Noelle and her worm met this curb instead.  According to Daddy, she hit at full speed and flipped head over heels a few times.  Noelle could be heard coming home from down the block howling at the top of her lungs.  But, she rode that worm all the way home!  She is one tough cookie!

HPIM3568 I wish I had better pictures that actually did this bruise justice!  Her face was black and blue and purple and all sorts of lovely colors for weeks after the “incident”.  Her face was swollen from ear to ear and all the way down to her neck for quite some time.  She had a small cut on the corner of her lip that opened up for a few days and bled occasionally, causing lots of hysteria among the children.  She is all healed now and back on the worm, crazy like always!
