Evelyn's Black Eye

I was just starting my usual morning mad rush when Ko-ko came to me and said that you were awake. Feeling suspicious I asked if he'd woken you up as you were fast asleep less than 5 minutes before. Giving me a guilty grin he said "yes". So I told him to keep you entertained while I got ready.
After finally getting everything ready, I headed up and saw Ko-ko playing with you: him outside the cot and you standing inside the cot laughing. Then only did I realise you had one big and one small eye! Oh no.. you'd fallen in the baby cot. Just like your Ko-ko did when he was young.
The eye was swollen. Not really black yet.. So I quickly carried you down and tried to apply some ice in a towel to the eye. Of course you would not allow me to do so. No tears, but you kept pulling at the towel.
Later this evening when we got back Ah Ma wondered aloud as to whether the fall had its effect on you as you seemed very tired the whole day. Made poor daddy panic.
But no.. there was nothing wrong with you. Look at this picture daddy took, you were almost better. Just a little bruised.
Muakkss.. muakks.. poor little baby.
