Black Eye

I'm not sure exactly how it happened. It happened so fast. I was a mere few feet away, but I looked down at something, and when I looked up again, it was over. Somehow Troy managed to fall face-first into his new little workbench toy. At first, I thought he was pulling on it, and it moved and scared him. But then the red mark showed up under his eye, and the swelling began.

I'm not sure what is with him and hitting his head all the time. It seems like that's primarily where he hurts himself. And even if he's not hurt, we'll sometimes find him sitting bumping his head on the wall...on purpose. His poor noggin is taking a beating in his first year. The saddest part is that he's only following in the footsteps that I have already walked. I got hurt a lot while I was growing up. Not always in the head, but a lot of the time it was. I'm hoping this doesn't portend an omen of things to come for Troy.
