Grace Under Fire

At first glance, your reaction is likely, "Does he do anything but take pictures of his daughter's ear???"

Not lately, honestly. But you will note that this week, we're not focusing on ornamentation, but injury.




This afternoon, the Princess somehow fell over onto a printer cart while trying to get a toy--there may have been running involved--conflicting and confused witness reports and fear of self-incrimination make this foggy. This fall resulted in a nasty gash, torn cartilage (which looks really gross, btw), more blood than her daddy ever wants to see pooling (yes, pooling) in her ear, and 6-7 stitches. Very few tears. Quite the stiff upper lip. She handled the whole experience with poise and grace. Which is good, 'cuz one of us should've.
