Slo-Mo

Okay, so I know that this is my second post today but I need to just vent a little.  Tonight has been a little rough, probably more so on me then on Lexi even though she was the one that took a few hits to the noggin.  First let me just say today was wonderful.  Going to the farm and getting pumpkins, then relaxing outside on a blanket in the grass in our backyard.  It's the evening when things started to go a little downhill.  While playing out in the living room Lexi decided to stand up on the side table and then somehow fell on her butt with force I don't think she was expecting because she took a turn and landed a little on her head, not so bad, but she screamed pretty good.  This was nothing a mum mum couldn't fix.  Then came dinner.  We tried some turkey burger (the doctor said to start more table food) and she did not like it.  I even tried sneaking it into her squash.  OH NO!! she knew every time it was in there. It was rather humorous.  Then it was bath time.  This is where all hell broke lose.  Bath started out fine.  Then it was like slo-mo and I still couldn't stop it from happening.  She fell forward right into the tub faucet!  OH BOY.  I was so upset, she was upset, we were both soaking wet.  She calmed down and we played.  I however, am still upset!!!  I feel so awful, as her mother I am here to protect her, but it is the awful falls and spills that I can never seem to rescue her from!  Why is that!  I can always get to her when she looks likes she is gonna go but then nothing happens!  Anyways.  She has a nice little red mark on her poor adorable face and every time I looked at it I wanted to cry.  She is now sleeping sweetly in her crib and I am sure doesn't remember any of this, but I know that all night I will wonder if she will wake up with that mark, or even worse, a black eye! 


This is the happy girl before bed.  You probably can't even see the mark on that smiling face, but I KNOW it is there!!

 GOOD NIGHT!!  sleep tight!!
