Accident Prone Roo sat on a wall
Accident Prone Roo had a Great Fall
All of her teachers, women and men
Worked to put RooBear together again.
Our brut of a daughter has been taking nose dives at school and at home in her persistant efforts to learn to walk. I'm thinking about buying her a helmet. Her Center Director has suggested that head-to-toe bubble wrap might make a good halloween costume.
We had not one, but two, incident (read: accident) reports to sign yesterday, since Roo decided to take a nose dive off a piece of furniture in the morning and then knock her head against the floor in the afternoon. The afternoon stunt left her with a swollen bridge of her nose and a nice purple mark on her forehead.
The good news is, she only cries for about 30 seconds, and once you pick her up she's fine -- ready to take another tumble. Poor Roo just gets soooo frustrated. She can pull herself up and cruise (hold onto furniture as she walks) but she wants to let go like the rest of the kids. (Imagine how much faster she could get to Simon?!?!?!) Unfortunately, she's just soooo tiny and her little legs aren't strong enough yet, so forward she falls.

UPDATE: The injuries discussed above happened on Tuesday. On Wednesday, I picked Rylee up and rec'd yet another incident report -- she hit herself in the head with a swing. New bruise. Third incident report this week... for those of you keeping tabs.
She is just a very curious and persistent little Gal.. :) Go Roo!!
