The progression of a shiner...

Well, Caleb got his first black eye last week. Elizabeth accidentally knocked a book off of the ottoman and right onto Caleb's face. He's my little tough guy and usually doesn't cry about being hurt, but he screamed about this one. (Which was promptly echoed by the wailings of his guilt-ridden big sister.) It actually didn't turn out as bad as I expected (probably because he did actually let me hold ice on it for a few minutes). But here you go pictures of his first (but I'm sure not last) black eye.

Due to my hesitation of posting my kids photos on the net you'll notice the pics are extemely close up. :)

A week later, basically back to normal
