My mindee was playing with my 2 boys this am, ctrawling around after a soft ball they were playing with, the ball went under the table as did my 2 boys, mindee crawled between 2 chairs but the gap was not big enough and she has 2 bumps on either side of her head. She cried, more when I tried to put a cold pad on her. I know I have to write an accident report but I feel awful - I was watching them do this, but did not reach her in time to stop her - I had been playing the game too.

It happens, dont feel bad. At least the parents know she is playing and having fun when she is with you. I dont think it is normal for children to be spotless and completely bruise free. Mine fell off a chair the other day so I know how you feel. He tried to get down on his own and didnt wait when I said to. Mum was very understanding and thought it was silly having to sign a form but I made sure I did it anyway!

Thanks - its been a few hours now, and I have to say it does not look as bad as when she first bumped it.

aww poor mindee and big hugs to you .... now you can relax as its been hours as you have said xxxxx
