Accident prone

September 1, 2010

The Little One is starting to pull himself up on things and invariably fall down again. He cries and then he gets over it but I have been remembering all of those little falls and the little bruises that appear as they begin to learn to walk. And then I had a shower and saw all of the bruises on me. I am a little accident prone at the moment. For no apparent reason I have been bumping my head, walking into walls, even turning and hitting my nose on doors. It’s weird I know, I seem to have lost my spacial awareness. It may be the lack of sleep, although that has been getting a little better lately, it may be walking to the kids in the middle of the night, it may be the curse of having your kids in bunk-beds. All I know is I am sore and hoping this accident prone condition is not permanent. At least it has given me a greater empathy for The Little One because some times bumping your head does really hurt and not even a hug can stop you crying.
