Not the cute little girl in the picture, but the “beauty” on her forehead. Mom got a call recently that Elizabeth had an accident on the playground and had a giant goose egg on her forehead. Apparently it was much larger before Mom got there and took this picture. E had slipped and bonked against a piece of playground equipment. She didn’t cry and was really brave until Mom got there. The ice helped the swelling come down, but she was still left with a fairly considerable bump on her little head. Mom saw that she was doing okay and tried to reengage her with her class to get back to work. Elizabeth wasn’t too keen on this and whispered, “I need my Brudder.” It was so sweet. She didn’t ask Mom to stay or cry about it or anything else. She just needed her protector. Ben was busy with classwork so E put on a brave “princess smile” and gave Mom the thumbs up sign that it was okay to leave. But she really just wanted her Brudder.
