Kendall is a tough cookie

Kendall is a walking chatterbox these days, and the thing she loves most are books. She will pick one up, walk over, hand it to you, then climb onto your lap and demand that you read it to her 15 times. Same book. I have taken to hiding some books because I just can't read them again for a while.

As a result of her love of reading, Kendall developed her first black eye. You may ask, how does reading give you a black eye? Well, when you are not so steady on your feet and pick up books a lot, eventually you fall on one.

A few weeks ago, Kendall was bringing Grandma Gorman a book, and tripped, falling onto the book she was carrying. It hit her right beneath the eye, giving her a nice shiner for a week.


This is after a few days healing on that black eye.

Kendall did not cry. She was a bit surprised, but just picked herself right up and brought that book over to Grandma Gorman to read it to her. This tends to be a theme for Kendall. She falls, a lot, but most of the time it doesn't faze her - and we try really hard not to react. When she falls, Nate has taken to saying 'kabooms', and now when she falls, it almost sounds like she is saying it too.

If she keeps this up, she is going to be one tough cookie. I think I see a Lacrosse player in our future - maybe even another goalie!
