These are the Moments When I Feel Like a Terrible Mother

See the lovely bruise on Malia’s face? She fell over and not only did I not catch her, but I didn’t realize she had fallen until I heard the big “thunk” of her face hitting the edge of the computer hutch. She hasn’t fallen over while sitting for a long while now so I really wasn’t watching for it. But she has tipped over a couple more times since the big crash and I think that her ears may be a bit plugged up due to the not so lovely cold that she has. It took her a long time to calm down after she fell and tipping over face first into the water freaked her out and cut bath time short, so I think we are just going to stay nearby while she is sitting up until she gets her balance back.

But she is obviously not permanently damaged since she is back to whistling and grinning about it.


The Whistler

Lately Malia has been pursing her lips into a little round ‘o.’ She does it all the time. We don’t know why. But this morning as she was sitting in my lap I realized that she was whistling. Nathan whistles all the time. I whistle pretty frequently. And Kev whistles to. So maybe she has been imitating our lips in an attempt to whistle. Or maybe it’s just a random skill she has picked up without intending to. Either way, she has been doing it all day and looking mighty pleased about it!
