Mama drama

Mama drama...part 6: All of a sudden Adeline has been getting hurt a lot more. She must have a new sense of confidence and curiosity -- or just those moments of sheer toddler craziness. It started with Addie falling off the bed one morning last week, dad left for work and the little one and I were snuggling. She must have been closer to the edge than I thought and in a blink she had rolled right off the bed. It was the sound of her body hitting the floor and wall that shocked me so much but she only cried for literally 30 seconds and then proceeded to snuggle up and sleep for another half hour. Then last Wednesday I came home from running errands to find Addie with a big scrape on her chin. I asked JD what happened and he said, "I didn't even know she was hurt. She fell outside but only cried for a second and then she got up and kept playing." Another happened about a week ago when I was organizing my kitchen cabinets. And like a good little helper Addie was helping move the lids, bowls, pans, tupperware, etc. Then she dropped a big metal lid on the tip of her toes. Ouch. Again, she only fussed for a short time and kept playing. Her black and blue toe made me so worried but I guess she is growing up faster than I giver her credit for.
