My little Ava is such a smart, funny, creative, social kid...I would not trade her for the world. But this girl is definitely accident prone. She has a difficult time carrying items across the room. The dogs celebrate every time she carries her plate to the garbage because most of the scraps end up on the floor.
Well, here is a little history of Ava's injuries...it all began with the tricycle crash of '08.
We were in Flagstaff 12/08 and Ava headed down a very steep driveway on a tricycle into a bed of river rocks. She was unable to stop! Nobody was around to supervise...we were all packing up to go home. Her face took a beating...she was so little then...only 2 1/2 years old.
Then the wrestling match of 4/10 on our bed. Todd went to slam Catalina with a pillow, Cat got out of the way, and hit Ava. The pillow threw Ava's head into the head board and she needed two staples. BLOOD! She was the only one in the family to meet her deductible for 2010!
Last weekend we walked to the "big park" to play on the exercise bars. Ava was practicing pull overs while Catalina was showing us she could do 5 hip circles in a row. Somehow Ava let go of the bar and did a face plant on the small rocks below. "BLOOD! Do I have to go to the hospital?" she cried. Luckily, it was all bruises and scratches...her knees looked pretty rough too.
She is in a clumsy, awkward stage right now. I think it's because she is growing so fast that her motor planning skills have not caught up. Boy, I love that little bean sprout!
