Aubrey's Anatomy

This week has been a rough one.
Not emotionally.
Not spiritually.
Not financially.
Not mentally.

But physically.

For some reason, my once coordinated little Aubrey has turned into a certifiable spaz.
I feel she may be following in my footsteps in this unfortunate aspect.

By the time I was 12, I had:
-broken a bone
-sprained 4 ankles
-been knocked unconscious
- had 2 layer stitches in my head
-fallen off a cliff
-had shin splits
-been hospitalized

So, to document Aubrey's bruised and beaten little body (and for proof in case Child Services comes knocking...), I made her into a real life study guide.


AUBREY'S ANATOMY KEY:
1.) Big fat goose-egg from running into the door frame while being chased by Brooklyn.
2.) Swollen and scratched eye from falling off the bench in Sacrament Meeting.
3.) Mosquito bite from 4 weeks ago that she keeps picking off.
4.) Scraped up nose from first: falling off a bike into the street, and second: falling off a chair onto her face.
5.) Bruise and scratch on her back from getting stuck in her "dog cage." (Don't ask.)
6.) Scraped up palm from falling off a rock at the park yesterday.
7.) Skinned knee. (Also from said rock.)
8.) More skinned knee. From any number of knee-on collisions with: carpet, cement, sand, concrete, curbs, rocks, dirt, or a combination of several of the above.
9.) Skinned and stubbed toes from total and complete lack of coordination.

We are entirely out of Band-Aids.
The end.

ha ha ha . . . poor Aubrey. I always have bruises on me that I have no idea where they came from. Hallie is the same way.
