Oh Noes! Playground woes!

Today was a sad day in the life of Skylar. He was on the playground, when an errant baseball thunked him in the eye. He had to call me and go home, due to the fact that his eye swelled up and he couldn't see out of it. All his friends gathered around him, encouraging him to cry and amazed that he didn't. (He's very tough-guy around his friends.) The poor little girl who threw the ball was sobbing her eyes out and so upset that Sky got hurt. As soon as we were on our way home, he wanted to know why I couldn't just take him back to school. (Seriously? Back to school with a huge black eye when he can have a free 1/2 day?) We went home, took some Ibuprofen, and it started to swell more with the ice pack off it. He is now resting and watching movies, and thinking it is so cool he has this huge black eye.
