School of hard knocks

After the trampoline and the bed yesterday, Grace decided to focus on her head today.

She started this morning while we were having coffee. She jumps off her little chair just about everyday, normally proceeded by a discourse that goes, "Gracie jump. No gonking. Land well." This goes around a few times, interspersed with some "Wobbling!" when she gets a little bit off balance. With some encouragement from us she eventually jumps off. Today she jumps off and plants her face into the ground. Little bit of consoling, lots of laughing and fortunately in retrospect she thinks it was, "Very funny."

So in the last 24 hours she has, eaten dirt, eaten wall, and eaten floor.

Fast forward to this afternoon and we went to the park after work. Grace was playing on the aeroplane jungle gym and reached up to swing on the monkey bars….whoops, she didn't quite grab hold of those properly….let's add eat metal to the list. She planted her head directly into the metal floor and now has a big bump in the middle of her forehead.

At least when she was playing on her own jungle gym later she did not decide to sit in the pram…….
