Shiner

 It was bound to happen at some point, and I guess going unscathed until the age of 3 isn't too bad. Tate is an avid horse rider, stick horse rider. He loves racing, and lately chasing his sisters and bumping them with the horse. Yesterday morning as I was doing McKenna's hair, Tate began chasing Tyler while on his horse and I heard them heading downstairs. I'm not sure if he fell down the stairs or when he got to the bottom of the stairs he tripped, but I found a line along his right eye where he'd been hit.

For the remainder of the day I was instructed, "no touch my owie Mommy." Although it must not have been hurting too badly because he got into my makeup drawer and tried to put on eyeliner-the marks above his eyebrow.

This morning his eye was a bit puffier and beginning to color. Now when we go places people just think I beat him, although no one wonders why, they're still telling me I have my hands full with this one.
