School Accidents

OK, I have never claimed to be very coordinated. My mom OFTEN tells the story of how when I was seven years old, I tripped and fell into her when trying to kiss her goodnight. She decided I NEEDED dance lessons. Unfortunatley, they didn't help too much! :)

I'm afraid to admit it, but I fear my children have inherited my clutziness! (Is that a word?) Anyway, this year seems to be a year where my children are all about getting hurt at school. Neleah has bumped into a child in line and knocked out a loose tooth (when he dead stopped in the middle of the hall for no reason). Then, she had her hand in her mouth feeling a slightly loose tooth when the child behind her bumped her and her tooth became perpendicular to the rest of her teeth. Ed actually had to take her to the dentist to get that one taken care of. At their holiday party, Nate was playing a game in the classroom and tripped and hit his eye on the corner of the teachers desk. This was the result... all through Christmas...

Most recently, Neleah came home with this mark on her face. It was from the playground. A child was on the top of the playground kicking ice off of it. She was climbing a rope ladder and ended up getting hit with the ice.

I really hope they begin to show signs of something GOOD they inherited from me! :)
