first fat lip...

and it wasn't Aidric's. On the contrary, he was the CAUSE of the fat lip and poor Juliet was the victim. I've been unpacking like crazy and had just taken a long iron votive holder out of a box. Aidric picked it up and walked away. I told him he needed to put it down. Instead, he kept walking and headed over to Juliet. When I took a step toward him to take it away, he swung it away from me and right into poor baby girl's face. I know he didn't mean to hit her, he was just trying to keep it away from me, but I can not describe how, in that moment, he seemed like the enemy against my poor defenseless baby. I was BEYOND angry. When he apologized to her, he did something she found funny, and she grabbed his face and started laughing, reminding me that I needed to forgive quickly as well.

(these picture don't show it that well, but I assure you, it was bad- there were even little specks of blood)

You can't even tell in the first one. She looks beautiful as always. I don't blame you for being angry, natural reaction. You're right though, accidents happen.
