Pitiful

We woke up Saturday morning to this....

Sophie and Jaden had been playing in dirt in the backyard Friday afternoon, when a few handfuls of dirt got thrown back and forth. A little dirt got in her eye but it came out before she came in the house. I gave her a shower and washed her hair and soap got in her eyes and she began to fist rub them. That night her eyelid was slightly red. As you can see in the above picture that all changed. I called the nurse and explained what all had happened and she told me she was fine and to just put cold compresses on it through out the day. If it didn't start getting better to come in to the office in a few days. Okay so I decided to take a picture to document the swelling. Sophie up to this point had no idea anything was wrong with her eye. She told me it didn't hurt and she would push on it to prove it. Jerry and I had been really staring at her all morning and asking alot of questions about it to the point she finally said," Why do you keep staring at me? What's wrong?" I said go look in the mirror in the bathroom. Now this child had been up for 2 hours barreling through the house laughing and playing with her brother not a care in the world. She gets one look at this eye and comes in the living room and sits in her brothers lap and in her most pitiful voice says, "Jadey look at my eye." She then lays her head on his shoulder. This is when I tell her I am going to take her picture and why. While I am taking the picture I tell her to smile so she doesn't look so pitiful. She says, "I want it to look pitiful." Okie Dokie.
