First Black Eye

C was playing with MIL's Zumba weights last night and of course one slipped out of her hand and of course flew across the room to hit J right under his eye. We all knew it would be a black eye soon. J didn't care too much at first since this meant he got an ice cube on his eye and extras to eat but Daddy seemed to consider it a male rite of passage and was a little proud of the mark of honor lol.

J started thinking it was cool as it came up soon after.

For a black eye it wasn't too bad and I'm sure as an active kid with siblings this will not be the last one we see unfortunately. Also thank goodness it was a bit lower than the actual eye.

Here's a pic (taken a couple days after it occurred) of the momentous first to look back on :P You can tell he's more proud of it then anything though if he's not near a mirror he often forgets which eye is the hurt one lol.
