Lilly had her first ‘bad’ fall today. We were in her playroom and she was balancing on one of her toys when she slipped and fell face-first onto the wood floor (of course she missed the play mat!). I watched the whole thing happen and when I picked her up her nose was bleeding. It was so awful! Her nose stopped bleeding and she calmed down quickly, but as soon as she did I was a complete mess – called the doctor and Bill, who asked his parents to come over for some support. I knew she was fine because a few minutes after the incident she was laughing and playing. I just cleaned the blood off and gave her Tylenol and nose drops. First time seeing her bleed – I’d like to think that it will never happen again, but I know that we will see plenty of blood and tears. Especially with our little adventurous girl!

Dakota got attacked by a dog we were watching this weekend, way after she was okay (she didn't get injured, just scratches on her back) I was still hysterical. She actually hasn't fallen so badly to have bloodshed, but we have carpet so that might be why.
Dog attack would scare me !
little bumps and bruises along the way are the way they learn to avoid the big bumps and bruises I once read an account about how Native American mothers would let their babies crawl into the fire pit just enough to figure out that it was HOT and it HURT … that way they learned , hmmm… better not crawl into that hot thing!.
It is harder on the moms than the kids…. let them take a few bumps and bruises… it makes them stronger and smarter.
little hockey player 🙂 I can see it now Kaly will get her out there 🙂
take a deep breath mom 🙂
Mai that had to be sooo scary! I'm glad she wasn't hurt too badly! We are in the process of re-thinking the playroom – the best solution for Lilly would be an empty room that is padded on all sides!
Mary Sue – Bill and I are pretty pathetic when it comes to team sports. Lilly definitely has a bit of Kaly in her!
Maybe Bill's grandpa Harry (Lilly's great grandfather) subscribed to the Native American philosophy. I asked dad to watch Bill in our cottage living room while I went into the kitchen. Bill was at the climbing up on furniture but unable to climb down stage. I wasn't in the kitchen very long when I heard him crying. When I asked my dad about it he said, "I was watching him, I watched him climb up on the couch and I watched him fall down." He wasn't hurt and he was a lot more careful about climbing on furniture after that. I promise I won't do that to you Bill and Kristy.

I know that must have been really scary for a few minutes. Reading Judy's description of her Dad watching watching Bill reminded me of my worry about kids touching the cactus around here. So many people have said to me…."they only do it once and then they learn." It still really worries me!
Mom
Never considered worrying about the cacti – it's kind of funny in a way.
So, Lilly reminds me of Kaly… there was no stopping her ! If I needed to contain her her I put her in one of those bouncy things that you hung from a door jam. She LOVED IT she would sit and bounce up and down for hours .She would bounce so high I thought she would hit the ceiling. People think she has those strong leg muscles from hockey, but no… they were really from the bouncy thing 🙂 she had Apollo Onos legs at a year 🙂
I'm sure that Kaly appreciates the comparison.
