klutz

Ada has had a rough week.

First she fell and bonked her head at school. She is fine, but since it was her head that was bonked it deserved a call to mommy at work - she is fine, but has a nice little red mark on her forehead.

Later that same day she fell and scrapped her lip. She was fine, but again required a call to daddy at work to inform.

The next day we got an 'ouch' report from school that Ada had fallen off the play equipment and bonked her nose - bloody nose. Again OK, and no call this time, and apparently she didn't even cry. But still another owie.

To make matters worse she has a scab underneath her nose, because she's had a runny nose for a few days and since she has developed a technique of rubbing her nose instead of blowing it she rubbed her skin right off.

I asked Ada last night why she kept falling down this week - thinking she was tired, or growing, or some other chemical reason, but NO. Her response, "I was trying to keep up with my friends and I forgot to look down when I got off of the slide".

So no higher reason, she's just a klutz. That, and she was just too busy to notice she was a couple feet off the ground before trying to run away.
