Ivy's "funny" fall

We went to a tribute dinner for the returning troops in our ward last weekend. Ivy fell off her chair onto the floor, followed by a plate full of food right on top of her. Of course, she was crying and I took her to the bathroom to clean her off. Some kids came in to see if she was alright, and, acknowledging the sad, pathetic reflection in the mirror, she let them know that yes, she was hurt, and as long as that image was looking at her with those tearful eyes, she was going to continue to be sad.

A little bit later we left the party. Kezia said it was the best party ever because they had cake and ice cream. (I felt no need to remind her that we left before it was even served). I asked Ivy what her favorite part was. She said, "When I fell on the floor and my food fell on top of me and the kids looked at me in the bathroom. It was so funny!!" And still today she will tell you how funny that was.
