Heidi has a balance bike and she has gotten VERY good on it. As in zooming down the hills at a much faster speed than I am comfortable with. This morning on our walk she started even farther up on the giant hill than she usually does before I could even say anything. It did not end well and I get teary eyed every time I look at her face. She didn't land on her head, but she rolled a few times with her bike and her face scraped along the pavement. I am praying I can prevent it from scarring. Unfortunately it looks even worse than the picture appears. I have a helmet for her that Jeff was going to dig out last night but never got around to and now I am kicking myself for not insisting that we find it before she got even more brave. Of course now she is freaked out about riding, but I think in a day or two she will get over that. She's worried about going to meet her teacher in a week because she is very self conscious about her scrapes. Anyway, it was a rough morning for both of us. I am grateful it wasn't worse, especially since she didn't have her helmet on.
While I was rocking her and nursing her wounds, Savanna climbed on my lap. If you know Savanna she is a bouncy little thing. She was bouncing around on my lap and banged her face on the wood part of the rocking chair. Blood was all over her mouth and I was sure she had knocked a tooth out. Thankfully she hadn't, but she had a nice scrape on her gums that took about 15 minutes to stop bleeding. It was a rough morning. With Caimbree climbing up and down and all over things I'm sure she's next, knock on wood. I am hoping for a less eventful afternoon!
