SO Ian is now 9 month and thinks he can walk. He is walking along things by grbbing onto them just fine, but he loves to just let go and try to take steps. Well he currently has a black eye, a bruise on that same cheek and forehead.
And Anelise..... she tells people this made up story that goes like this: " My dad kicked my two front teeth out when I was 2. You remember that dad, remember? huh, don't you?" She hasn't lost any teeth

Most people know kids that age are accident prone. My daughter had a lot of bruises when she started walking, too.
But, your older child is something to worry about. We never tolerated lying or making up stories that could be real. Our daughter was taught to start out all stories with "once upon a time" or "I'm going to tell you a story that is not real" so she and others could differeniate between the real and not real stories.

I used to hide in the clothing racks at stores then when my mom found me I would throw myself to the floor screaming "NO MOMMY DONT BEAT ME!!! I'LL BE GOOD! DON'T BEAT ME!!"
I was 2 and my mom never hit me in my life  but I'm sure she was tempted
LoL
It could be worse 
And kids learning to walk are definately accident prone, Evan is just starting to stand and he's got some cuts and bruises and had a shiner not to long ago.
Jayna that is a good Idea

the little one falling down, well, toddlers do fall down, it happens and I think most folks understand that.
but I think your daughter needs to learn that telling those kinds of stories is not a good idea. I remember when I was very young, my mother told me once that the law can take children away from parents who abuse them, and that making up stories about being abused could lead to my being removed from our house. So I was never tempted to tell those kinds of stories.

I realize now I do not fear death. I fear my daughter will not be free when I die.

little ones fall, but i know your pain. heck Littleman was pretty good at walking/running and within a week he had little horns on his forehead from falling. i actually got the name of the girl who saw him fall at the store just incase someone thought bad was happening.
outside that hubby and i tend to make fun of the very situation. when Littleman is being a pickle i tell him "Dont make me beat you in public" to which he replies "no Mommy dont beat me in public!" then i say "well how about a good swift!" he says "no Mommy no good swift kick in the butt!" then i offer him a knucklesammich! and he will often as for TWO knucklesammiches! then we laugh and it kinda changes the situation for us to laughter and he forgets what he was being a pickle over.

 Gosh...the thought of my child telling someone something like that... /shudder
And yes, I know about the bruises LOL. My daughter is a monkey. She started climbing out of her crib at 16 months. She climbs out of shopping carts and climbs on top of dresses and...yeah....bonk!

Bean...I remember when my younger son was that age...we used to joke that I could not have any pictures taken until he was 2! He was running at the age of 10 months and always had 'bumps' on his forehead. I even had to take him for stitches when he was a year old because he ran to pick up his ball in the family room and fell...splitting his forehead wide open on the brick hearth. I was not home for that one...but my husband called me to come home and take our son to the hospital (He could not stand the blood).
Like everyone said...9 months and quite a few months after are prime time...for bumps and bruises. What you describe about your son is not out of the ordinary.
Now onto the topic of your daughter. I am not sure if she tells those stories for attention or to see you squirm but she COULD get you in trouble with that tale. If a child mentioned that to me or I overheard it...as a 'mandated reporter' I would have to report it (even if I felt it had no basis in fact).
I think you need to get to the bottom of the 'WHY' she is saying things like this and then go from there. BEST of Luck...Truly!

My daughter walked at 9 months and always had bumps and bruises and scrapes all over. She once (twice actually) took a header of the kerb and hit her forehead so hard you could see the pattern of the concrete in the bruise >.< But she never cried for more than a few seconds before she was off and running again.
On the other note...my cousin's daughter(7 years old or so) once got send to her room because she wouldn't do her homework, not spanked, probably yelled at a bit but nothing worse than "No you can't watch TV, go to your room until your homework is done". She snuck into her Grandma's room and called 911 and told them that her mother beat her
The police came and investigated. Thankfully the child came out and admitted that she lied but still...scary imo.
