Well as most of you might know our little Zoey is in the toddling stage of life right now and I must admit it's harder than I could have imagined for me. With every little step she takes I have two feelings one is to be proud at how far she has come and the next is horror at what bump bruise or gash will come next! She has definitely inherited a few of my traits one is clumsiness and another is instant anger in the face of pain. I never thought that I would be the mother to shriek in horror every time my child falls. It's a pain I never thought that I could experience. Well lets just say I was wrong!! She took a head dive into a corner of a table the other day as she casually walked by her favorite dog food dish. As I picked her up all I could think is which hospital should I take her to and should I wait for Paul to get home. I'm not sure how we escaped that with an indent in her eyebrow and a fish flopping tantrum but we did. Now everyday she takes these spills and I try to watch with an observant eye but my whole body just tenses up as I she her take a nose dive into the Ottoman or a slip and fall from her favorite puddle of dog dish water and before I know it I let out a gasp and she's crying, bleeding or bruised. Now every mother assures me that she'll be just fine. At this point I'm not sure how many head traumas she can endure or how many near heart attacks I can handle. We are looking into a few options at this point. One is a helmet (with a face guard of course you know like a hockey helmet), a baby bubble or just invest in whole house padding. What do you think?
