STanding RIGHT in front of him for just a second isnt that always it) and Big Ray said hey look (duh) I looked and as I turned back half a heart beat later I watched Boogie (yep, that slow-mo just kills you) reach for the book that had slipped from his lap to the concrete floor headfirst. Thankfully, he more skidded and seemed to catch himself a little but his forehead and nose were red for a day. I feel your agony..I felt awful!<BR/>Amy RAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6998040.post-69079004700119983762007-02-28T22:51:00.000-05:002007-02-28T22:51:00.000-05:00Give the Malka-balka a kiss for me!

I'd add that you can also tell how curious and independent she is!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6998040.post-90195097681991630042007-02-27T15:42:00.000-05:002007-02-27T15:42:00.000-05:00Quinn fell off of the sofa and bumped her head las...Quinn fell off of the sofa and bumped her head last week. She got a lovely lump and purple mark. Over the weekend she was swinging a pull-toy thing and smacked herself in the same spot. Who knows if it left a mark because the other mark is still there. I guess what I'm saying is that kids are going to fall and our job is just to make sure that we attempt to stop as many as we can. Oh, and that we give them lots of snuggles when they do take tumbles. *hugs to you* They forget about the falls in 20 mintutes. It takes us weeks!Hopehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09538487290558465546noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6998040.post-66926152034695507752007-02-27T13:47:00.000-05:002007-02-27T13:47:00.000-05:00Kids are tough cookies!

She rubbed her head and grabbed the toy on the floor and started playing! <BR/><BR/>Another time... Sabi fell and chipped a tooth. I ruched her to the Dr and he looked me in the face and said "Uh-Oh!" My heart sank. He then went on to say "you know what this chipped tooth means, right? She now has character!" <BR/><BR/>Malka will fine.

Kids fall; it's one reason humans have evolved such thick skulls. It's also one reason I have four kids -- one of them's bound to survive my parenting bafoonery!Jenniferhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07802695378617927299noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6998040.post-61377022705033452532007-02-27T10:37:00.000-05:002007-02-27T10:37:00.000-05:00From what I've heard, it just means you're not "ov...From what I've heard, it just means you're not "over protective". :)<BR/><BR/>I remember the first time Niblet fell like that. It was, funny enough, while she was on our futon-couch-thingy. I had her propped on her back, but it was slidey (cuz we didn't have the futon on a frame)and she rolled off. Onto her head, of course. She cried and I cried and we both took some Arnica. No bump, no lasting fear of futons. But it was scary.<BR/><BR/>I'm glad MP3 is okay. Maybe next time she wants to practice her diving skills, she'll give you a little warning!FosterMommyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05241142922558590017noreply@blogger.com
