Maybe this is what Brooklyn was thinking this morning. In any event, this is what I look like after an eventful "wake up call" by Brooklyn this morning. She was in her bed beside me and had her sippie with her; I had woken up about an hour earlier and put Barney or something on for her and had filled her cup. I went back to sleep, lying on my back. Around 7am, she threw her cup (probably b/c it was empty again) and it hit me in the eye. I sat up and grabbed my eye because it freaking hurt and scared the crap out of me!! I instantly started crying (you know that area is sooo sensitive and it hurt so bad) and felt the wet feeling in my hand, thinking it was tears. But when I lowered my hand and looked, it was blood. I REALLY started to freak at that point; I just had no idea what my face looked like. When I checked it out, it was just a huge laceration across my eye, right below my eyebrow. It was swollen and soooo sore. But I didn't expect there to be any more to it than the cut and swelling.
I headed to church not having put any makeup or coverup on it; there just didn't seem to be a need. By the end of service, though, it was obvious something was wrong because the bruise had started to form. People started to ask what happened. By the evening service, it was REAL obvious and today it looks worse.
So, other than not letting her have her sippie in her bed anymore, I'm not exactly sure what to do. I guess I'm going to have to get real tough with her and not let her have anything back if she throws it. That will mean taking her food away at mealtime, though, and that will be the hardest. *sigh*
Here's a picture of the damage

Brooklyn is with Mom for the next few days and I told her I expect Brooklyn to come home having been broken of this habit. And potty trained, too.
