The past 24 hours have been rough.

Last night we were playing with our cousins and managed to get a big fat lip, then this morning she was running a little too fast and went head first into my shoe rack resulting in that shiner on her eye.  Not to mention there are some miscellaneous bruises on her left cheek from everyday falls :)  Harper is beginning to look like a prized fighter.

Well I believe she is realizing this as well.  We have not brought out her bike helmet since the beginning of the summer because it always falls over her eyes, so it sits way high up on a shelf in the garage.  Well for the first time today she sat out in the garage, pointed to the helmet and would not stop until we brought it down for her.  She then proceeded to put in on for the rest of the afternoon.  Guess she realized she was having a rough day as well.  And it was a good thing because shortly after putting it on she fell backwards off the top of the slide and thank goodness she had her helmet on.  It got to the point were she would get really mad if you took it off, so it stayed on all afternoon while we played on the slide, went for a walk, picked some flowers and rummaged through all the toys in the garage.  Guess you can never be too safe :)
