My daughter – my FIVE year old daugher – has somehow pulled a muscle or something in her knee and now it’s a little swollen. And she can hardly put pressure (i.e. walk) on it.
How the heck did she do that? She’s five! Try Googling “Five year old with a swollen knee” and you get a lot of dog-related articles. I think she would find that insulting, comparing her injury to a beagle’s.
My husband and I discussed it and we can only come up with the pool. She’s amazing in there. Swims like a fish. So we’re thinking she strained a muscle while swimming. She’s crazy good – I have visions of the Olympics…
If it’s not better by the evening I’m calling the doctor first thing tomorrow and taking her in.
Wild.
Even wilder – trying to keep a a five year old contained. In one spot. Especially when her three year old brother keeps tempting her to come play. Sigh…
Wish me luck.

Oh, dear! I hope she’s feeling better soon. :S Those knee injuries can be awful.
