I took the kids to the VERY large sledding hill on Monday. Stella was hesitant at first. I went with her. Then, her brother went with her. Then, she went on her own sled while I hung on to her from mine. Then, she went alone! She rode down again and again and walked up all by herself every time. I was watching her closely of course. She was so proud of herself and I was beaming about my brave little girl.
THEN, three kids of about 10 years old decided to link themselves together and sled right into the walkway on the side of the hill. Who were they headed straight for??? The littlest kid out of them all, Stella. I knew it was coming and could do nothing about it. One the the kids legs hit Stella's legs VERY hard and her face was to the ice with a millisecond. My friend said that I FLEW down the hill (on my rear.) Her little mouth was bloody and what I realized a few minutes later was that she had an ice burn on her chin. She cried and cried and CRIED. Thankfully, a very nice man asked her if a brownie would help. She calmed right down and nodded her head. He brought back a large bag of them and let her have first choice. After that, she was proud of her wounds and VERY happy to be cozy in the car with chocolate! That's my girl!!
