My daughter is clumsy, she is 4 and she had been walking since before she was 1 yet she still can't seem to go a day without falling over or hurting herself. Here is a recount of the last few days.....
Thursday - Playing at McDonalds playgound she 'broke' her wrist, well not realy she hurt her wrist on the slide and she couldn't use it, couldn't even wriggle her fingers. I never know what to do when she hurts herself because I can never really tell how bad it is as she gets so upset. SO I told her she could only have a dotti (smartie) cookie if she could hold it with that hand. "Oh mum it's ok my wrist is all better look" ** waves hand in my face** I have no doubt it did hurt, but I have to be sure it's not really broken!!
Friday - Phone call from kindy, which is never a good sign! Thankfully this time though it wasn't so bad. A friend of her had accidently shut her thumb in the door. So really more bad lucky than clumsiness, the top of her thumb was actually cut open a bit and there was a tiny bit of blood. Still a little sore now. Later that night though she managed a MAJOR stack on the living room floor. I swear her head bounced, she bruised her head, knee and elbow. However was more concerned she lost her Batman swapcard. We searched for hours only to find she never had it with her in the first place it was in her room :-S
Saturday - At the shopping centre she was playing in a little makeshift playground, she came to be rubbing her knee but said nothing. Next thing she was sitting on the ground and couldn't get up. Again I tried not to worry too much and see if I could coax her to walk on it. She wasn't crying or upset this time but did seem to be in pain. She decided not to play anymore and we walked/hobbled over to sit and wait for Nan to show. When Nan arrived and Rat_girl didn't jump out of her seat and run to her I thought she must really be hurting. So I offered to put some money in a ride and let her on only if she could walk there. She tried but limped there and back...hmmmmmm. We rested and had something to eat. Then a dance show started she wanted to join in. I said she could but only if her knee was ok at which point she jumped up and said "look mummy I think it's all better now" and limped ever so slightly to go and dance. After that I never saw her limp again.
Sunday - Playing with her new toy wheelie bin, being silly as usual and doing something Mummarat had said not to do. She ran over the back of her own foot with the bin and cut her heel open she screamed from the sight of blood. She did a good job of it I must say.
Monday - Scrapbooking with a friend at a hall, first she runs around like I tell her not too and lands on her bum. Then she some how manages to bump her shoulder on a table and ends up with a bruise on top of her should and a little cut. I'm not even sure how it happened.
So now today she is at kindy and I'm dreading the call...surely she has nothing left of herself that she can hurt...well lets hope that is the case!
