Suddenly their arms and legs are slightly longer than they had been and it takes a little while for their brains to catch up with coordinating everything again. I remember one week my daughter walked into the corner of the counter 3 times- making a giant bruise on her forehead. She'd always been able to walk underneath it before!!!jennoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1809677799536184324.post-77886606734729972842013-04-30T16:01:52.331-04:002013-04-30T16:01:52.331-04:00Sounds like rather more excitement than you might ...Sounds like rather more excitement than you might want!<br /><br />We had our first Er visit a month or so ago, when Gwen went down half a flight of stairs and the knot that bloomed immediately on her head was sufficiently large for us to want to be on the safe side. The dr. that saw us ended up getting a second opinion to confirm that it was just this side of the size for which they'd automatically do head scans, and since she had no other symptoms or indications of something more serious, we were still able to make our flight back to Frankfurt that evening! (We were in London at the time).<br /><br />Since then it seems like every other day I pick her up from daycare and she has a small bump or bruise or a story from the caretakers about bumping her head. She likes to climb, she likes to run, and she doesn't do anything slowly. Eventually one of them shrugged her shoulders and simply said "It's her character".<br /><br />Good thing that character comes with a hard little head!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
