Bubble Wrap

I am going to invest in good 'ole bubblewrap.

Not for packing or sending an expensive object across the country, but for my Daughter.

In the last week she has bunked her head on more things that you can imagine. She has even rolled off the bed (mind you this is the third time if you are keeping track), been imprinted by the carseat, and been wacked in the head by the "boys" of the house.

Just this morning I placed her in her crib to run and grab the camera. She was just in a good mood and the light was right, so we were going to do a photo shoot. I come upstairs to find her trying to stand in the crib... no biggie. I walk over to Hooray her again, and boom, her little feet slip out from underneath her, and she bunks on the crib. UGh!

Luckily for her and me, I believe God has bubble wrapped her himself. Except for a tiny bruise on the forehead, from wacking it on the wall as she was standing and playing, she has come away unscathed from all incidents this week. Astounding.

I, on the otherhand, am just about to lose it. How will she ever make it to a ripe 'ole age at this rate?

Someone with a young child, mentioned to me you feel as if you have put dent in the brand new car when kids get hurt. Taking them to the doctor over it is like saying... did I break it, can you fix it?

So far we have been blessed. I know I can't keep her free of a few accidents, but I've decided if God has wrapped her, I will just trust, with a little diligence on the parental part, we will continue to keep her safe, except for a few bumps and bruises.
