Talk About A Rough Day...

There's the bruised forehead...

And here's the filmed evidence of Little Bit sneaking into the potato chip bag...
Ha! Caught ya red-handed!

When Little Bit woke up yesterday morning, she looked perfectly fine. By the end of the day, however, our little trouble-finder-extraordinaire had pretty much gotten a full share of the woes of the world - a nasty bruise on the forehead; a scraped up nose; and a sore finger; accused of thievery (with evidence on film!); and sticky lips. I'm sure your already reaching for the phone to call social services, but before you do that, let me explain.

At about noontime, Little Bit decided that she would take a stroll outside in the back yard. She toddled along through the laundry room, past Mommy who was doing laundry, and towards the back door - which was open to let some fresh air in. Ahhh... feel that fresh air, Little Bit might have thought, putting one foot forward to step out the door and embrace the outside world... CRASH! SMACK! KACHUNK!... Wwwaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhh... siren mouth puts her lungs to use.

You can probably already guess what just happened - poor girl seemed to have forgotten that the floor had disappeared beneath her tootsies, and ended up doing an unexpected dive off the door sill, planting her face into the concrete steps! OUCH! Seemed her nose couldn't penetrate the solid gravel too well. So that's how she got a bruised noggin and a scraped nose. But her day wasn't done yet.

Next thing we new, she was sneaking off with the bag of Lay's potato chips which had been left on the table. Hee-hee... she didn't know we had an FBI agent (Mommy) trailing her with a camera! So she was caught, the chips confiscated, and Little Bit sentenced to five years in the Crib Penitentiary... :)

Next thing we know, that night as we were making dinner, Little Bit manages to get hold of a can-opener. Somehow, it seems her tiny fingers got caught in the handle... Wwwaaaaaaaahhhh!

Well, it would seem that the little girl had had enough for one day, right? Noooo, she decided to taste test the quality of a glue stick... yeck! Only Little Bit would do that!

And so ends the story of Little Bit's really rough day... as I'm writing this, Little Bit just fell off the coffee table... oh, great!
