He's of the colour of the nutmeg. And of the heat of the ginger.... he is pure air and fire; and the dull elements of earth and water never appear in him, but only in patient stillness while his rider mounts him; he is indeed a horse, and all other jades you may call beasts. ~William Shakespeare, Henry V

CASSIE HAS BEEN HAVING ONE HELL OF A WEEK

When we were moving Mike, Cassie did a cartwheel down Mike's front steps to his house. Fortunately she didn't even get one black and blue mark and after a few moments of crying she was fine. I also think it helped that Mike's front steps have carpet on them. On Monday she was running through my mom's house with a balloon and she tripped right in front of their fireplace and she slammed the palm of her right hand down on the wood basked and took a very small area of skin off. Once we got a band-aid on it she was fine because the air really irritated it. Then today she was playing with a popcorn tin that my mom uses to store her cookies in until the bake sale and Cassie dropped a book in one and the lid was still about half way on so when she pushed on the lid, she pinched her finger between the inside of the tin and the lid and I had to strategically work the lid and her finger around to get her finger out. She really bawled about that for a while but she was getting really tired and was ready for a bath and bed. Then to help the pain a little I gave her and oreo cookie (big mistake) and after a while I could hear this scratching sound and I went to check on Cassie and there she was in my mom's hallway scribbling on the wall with the cookie and of course when I told her that was very naughty it sent her into another fit of bawling. I am really hoping that the rest of the week will be accident free but it won't suprise me if she trips stepping up from the curb tomorrow morning heading to our WIC appointment and then on Thursday injuring herself with something in the waiting room at the doctors office and who knows what type of injuries she will sustain over the weekend. Man, has she had one rough week so far.

    She's just at that age where she is so interested in exploring everything, she doesn't think ahead... kid don't think how their actions will affect them in the immediate future... hoefully she learned from her fumbles this week.... good luck to you and Cassie!
