Rock Star Parents

This afternoon, we watched Peeper pick up a heavy rock and carry it around the yard. I even told her to, "Be careful - don't drop it on your foot!" but she just looked so proud of herself, so we let it go.

And, sure enough. She dropped it on her foot.

She was behind my chair, so neither of us saw it actually happen, but there was much wailing (calmed, eventually, by some goody) and her foot was a bit red - with the imprint of the texture of the rock! - and now there's a bit of a bruise.

There doesn't seem to be any real harm done, but I sure felt awful about it.
