Tragedy in the boondox!

Ok, so there was a change to this post...hopefully nobody read the original, but with my luck they probably have and never want to come to this site again! It was a crazy night last night. The tub that the girls use has a problem with the drain...the plug does not really work the way it should which is fine unless the girls are not done playing in the water! With the plug down, the water slowly drains giving the girls about 10 minutes to play in the water (which is plenty of time, unless I want a couple more minutes to just sit and relax!!!) Well, this time, the girls were in the bath and once the water was drained, I told them to sit there until I get back from seeing what was wrong with the baby. I got back to see both of them out of the tub, Kyra trying to turn on the sink to play in that water and Krisalyn telling me that she was cold and needed to be washed. What came next was something totally unexpected but seemed to be inevitable! As I was getting Kyra down from the sink, I turned just in time to see Krisalyn fall to the floor crying! She had tried to climb into the tub (something she does all the time!) but because the floor was wet from them climbing out, she slipped and hit her mouth on the way down. She was on the floor bending down holding her face so I didn't know what she hit until I got to her and she lifted her head. There was tons of blood on the floor, so I knew it was more serious than I had thought. Krisalyn, seeing the blood, screamed even louder now because it was hers! Kyra also started crying when she saw the red puddle on the floor. It turns out, she bit her bottom lip when she hit the tub. I was not happy! I was the one that told her to get back in! Her lip looked so bad! So, I took a picture of it...she didn't really like it but I did it anyways...here is what it looked like last night after it happened.


Ok, so the pictures may not look as bad as I might have made you believe...I tried the best I could taking the pictures. Today, she's got a fat lip and it's more bruised but I'm glad that it wasn't more serious...like breaking a tooth or something.
So, I hope all of you who read this post don't think I am a terrible mother because I let my kids (well, really only Krisalyn right now) climb into the bathtub by themselves, I'm just one, of many, who is trying the best she can and can't stay calm all the time when crazy things happen, As much as I would love to be one of the few who can!
