I bruise quite easily.

I often will come up with a bruise and have no idea how I got it because whatever it was....it didn't hurt.

The ones I'm gonna have will.
But it was worth the look in Tookie's eyes!

We just got back from having lunch at school with Nathan and Marisa. They had PE class following and they are doing roller skating. So we strapped on a pair for tookie (i knew better than to put my own on as well) and away she went.

Not far away. Actually every couple of steps she fell. And every fall she expected me to catch her or somehow buffer for her. The worst ones were actually when she fell on her own...and I didn't catch her....but still got kicked with the wheels of the skate. It was just easier on me to have her fall right on me.

By the end of class she was skating on her own.

With a smile as big as any I've seen.
"I'm a big kid now, mom!" she says to me.

Yes, Tookie. You are.
