Black and Blue and Smiley All Over

(From Sara)

Mercy is not normally accident prone, but she's had a lot of doozies lately.  

Mercy's current afflictions:

1) bruise on bridge of nose from bonking into the computer desk

2) large scrape on left cheek and nose from falling on her face on rough sand

3) mystery red bruise on chin??

4) nearly healed shallow cat scratch on right arm when kitty did NOT want to be pet and batted her arm away (again)

5) white line on fingernail almost grown out now from pinching finger in a drawer

6) various bruises on knees and shins from being an active toddler

7) mystery scrapes on right heel??

8) large bruise on top of left foot from PULLING THE PIANO BENCH DOWN ON HERSELF AND NARROWLY ESCAPING A WORSE DISASTER

It seems to bother me more than it bothers her, though.  She carries on with her happy-go-lucky self!
