Poor Little Maddie

Why do bad things happen to good girls??? That fits Maddie to a tee. For some reason, Maddie seems to be the most accident prone little girl. Maddie was the first one to fall down the stairs. She couldn't just fall down a few...No, not Maddie. She fell from the very top step. Being the little trooper that she is, she only cried for a few minutes, and then seemed to be her normal, happy-go-lucky self again. When we went to the pool last week, who was the one that fell and skinned her knee? Maddie, of course. Thankfully she is a tough little girl and we wiped off the blood, put on a boo boo band, and she went on her merry way. A couple days later, Maddie was chasing her sister and somehow managed to fall and hit her face really hard on the wooden potty chair, creating a big bump and bruise in the middle of her forehead. On Friday, she tripped on the one step leading to the family room and hit her cheek super hard on the tile floor. As if that wasn't bad enough, Sophie scratched her later that day on the same cheek, drawing blood. She still had the bruise from hitting the potty chair, so she looked like she had been in a fight. To top it all off, daddy and grandma took the girls to the playground today, and of course, Maddie slipped on the climbing bars, and hit her face (again) creating another huge knot and bruise. As usual, Maddie took it in stride, and thankfully we put ice on it right away, and besides looking pretty ugly, she seems to be okay. My poor little Maddie bear...

In case you didn't already know, that child has Burkey genes. None of us are really all that graceful. I'm bad. Gavin's bad. My dad is terrible. It's totally genetic.
