I guess my dreams of having Daphne make it to her first birthday without a single scratch are now lost. She had a very adventurous day on Wednesday. It all started when she woke up with a scratch on the side of her face that had a little blood on it. She had scratched herself with the fingernails I had cut only three days earlier. Later on while she was watching the Wiggles she managed to fall out of her bouncy seat. She landed right on her head causing a very small purple spot to appear next to her eye. All day long I was hugging and kissing her and praying that she wouldn't end up with a black eye. To top off the day she managed to get her leg caught between the slats of her crib. She had gotten her leg all the way up to the thigh outside of the crib. Of course she screamed while I was trying to push it back. I was so scared that she had broken something, but moments later she was looking up at me with her silly grin.
Whew! I really need to get ready for all the tumbles she is going to take when she starts walking. Would it be too much to wrap her in bubble wrap from now on? Why is it that their physical bodies develop faster than their brains? I say this because I caught her trying to get her leg through the slats of the crib again this morning. Aaargh!
