No parent wants to get this call...


This morning at work I received a call from Nola (Sydney's daycare provider). "Kelly, Sydney has had a bad fall. I think you should have her checked by the doctor." My heart stopped & my hands started shaking. All is well, but the bruises that she gathered over the weekend don't come close to comparing with the ones she got today.
Sydney was crawling up the stairs & slipped and hit her eye on the moulding of the step, then when she tried to keep going she totally missed the step and whacked her forehead on the ceramic tile of the landing.
We went to the doctor and all is well, no concussion, but they did ask me to report back next week to let them know about her "clumsiness". Her eye is a little red now & will probably be black tomorrow. But the goose egg she had on her forehead is now a great big, black circle. Sydney seems totally fine about it...but I think it will take Nola a few days to get over it.
At this rate, I think we are going to have to buy this kid a helmet!!!

Good grief, is she made of steel? Thank goodness she is OK!

We had the same concerns with Emily for her first few months of walking, at one point I thought we were going to have CAS on our doorstep with the bruises, stitches etc..., but she survived and is a tough little cookie now! Glad to her Sydney is okay.
