My first shiner

Couldn't find a place in the baby photo book for this milestone (if I should even call it that). I would like to say there is a cool, exciting story behind this little gal's discolored eye. No dramatic tumble down the stairs, no acrobatic fall off a tricycle, no hilarious walked-into-a-wall oops. Nope, she was playing with the toy vacuum at daycare and the second I walked into the room to pick her up and go home, she tripped and hit her eye smack-dab on the corner of the pretend cleaning machine. Of course, there were tears, but the accident didn't look dramatic or traumatizing until I got home and noticed her eye had swelled and was very red. Of course, a toddler won't sit still for two seconds and definitely won't sit still to let you put ice on the injured eye. So, she toughed it out. She is perfectly fine and doesn't seem to notice it. It will be interesting to see what the doctor says about it at her 18 months well-baby check tomorrow. Wonder if I should make up a more exciting story? Naaa, that would probably look bad. :)
