Sophie's Bike Crash

I was visiting Kylie and we were cleaning.  We sent Preston on a walk.  He had Emma in the baby carrier (she was almost asleep) and Sophie was riding her bike around their neighborhood.  The last "leg" of the block had an incline and Sophie got going too fast and despite Preston's valiant efforts to chase after her with the sleeping baby, she crashed!

Sophie was crying, Preston was frazzled, and Emma woke up and was mad.  He scooped Sophie up and ran home with both the girls.  Poor Sophie was just covered in blood and so upset.  Preston tried to call us (poor guy) but we were vacuuming and missed it.  Sophie had a scrap on her nose, a bloody nose and mouth, a bump to her forehead, a HUGE road rash scrap to her knee, and a chunk out of her toe.  I threw her in the tub to wash all the blood off to really assess all the owes.  She was so sweet and such a trooper.  Poor Sophs!  ...and poor Preston... what a traumatic day.  He is a good Uncle and Sophie keeps saying how strong and brave he was that he tried to catch her and then he carrier her and Emma ALL the way back.
