so the day after the high chair fiasco, gemma rolled down two steps on our staircase. if you're thinking, "don't you ever watch your baby?", i understand what you would ask that and the answer to that is "yes we do"... this was just a lack-of-communication kind of incident. My mom was going upstairs and Gemma followed her, i didn't know my mom was headed up and she didn't know Gemma was a few meters behind her.
today, she was bouncing around on a mattress we had laid out and lost control and fell, hitting the side of her head/above her eye on the window sill. Massive bruise right away and I thought for sure she would have a black eye and her eye would swell shut. Well the damage isn't so bad and in fact the bruise has faded away quite a bit even just a few hours later.
I don't know if it's karma (do i believe in karma??), but last week, when we had a few friends over for a playdate, Brandon had fallen asleep in his mom's arms when Gemma whacked him as hard as she could with his bottle.
well if it's karma, i think she's paid for it enough already. Does anyone know where i can get a bubble suit with attached helmet/full face mask for a baby???
and i'm actually totally serious.
Oh Grace, I totally get the feeling! If you do find a bubble suit can you buy us one too? And don't you feel like everybody is thinking you must be so negligent (at least that is how I feel, when we show up every Sunday at church with a new bruise, bump, cut). It actually make me feel better knowing that you are a very careful Mommy but Gemma gets bumps too (not the Gemma getting hurt part but the other good Mommy's end up with bruises too!)
ReplyDeletethanks Crystal. you let me know too if you find a bubble suit! maybe i'll start making them and sell them... hmmm... there's an idea! i'm sure there would be a market for this!!!
