I took to heart Ashley's advice. One of her favorite photo tips is to find an unusual angle. She is always standing on tables or chairs or other bits of furniture to get shots of her kids, so I decided to follow her example, and climbed up onto the piano bench this afternoon.
What I failed to do was watch where I was going when I jumped down - and I knocked my knee hard on the edge of the piano. It hurt so badly, I just about hyperventilated, and frightened poor Kiddo while I was rolling around clutching my knee and crying and trying to hold in all the choice words that came to mind.
So tonight I'm on the couch, with my trusty bag of frozen peas wrapped in a towel. And my boy. And my Old Navy flip flop tan line.
He's been keeping me entertained by telling me duck stories.
Lots and lots of duck stories.
And when he ran out of stories, we read Cars and Trucks and Things That Go. And hunted for Goldbug.
And when he went to bed, I settled in with the Lord of the Rings and the Chick-fil-A peach milkshake I saved in the freezer for just such an emergency.
Here's hoping my peas and my milkshake do the trick and I'm off the couch tomorrow.

Great perspectives! I'll have to take that to heart, too. And you just reminded me how much I love Lord of the Rings. I hope next year Drew is old enough for me to read the trilogy to him. I can't wait. So sorry for your knee injury. I hope it's better tomorrow.

And it was me, here, with a twisted ankle because I thought it was a good idea to stand on top of a fence while holding a hen upside down and take a picture of it at the same time... *sigh* I may blog mine yet too. ;)
