\"\"<\/a>\"\"<\/a>Yesterday I was doing yoga in the living room
\n and Lex was sitting in his little rocker behind me. He likes to
\n watch me do yoga :) One second he was sitting there happily and
\n the next he was on the floor in tears. I’m guessing he
\n attempted an Evil Knievel move in between. He cried for a few
\n minutes and quickly developed a nice shiner under his eye.<\/p>\n

Later, after his bath, he was on the
\n changing table and decided he didn’t want to be still… ended
\n up falling over sideways and hitting his ear against the edge
\n of the dresser. Cried again for awhile. Ears are pretty
\n sensitive. He was naked and crawled up on me for hugs. He sat
\n on my belly crying while I tried to console him and secretly
\n prayed he wouldn’t pee all over me! <\/p>\n

Today we went to a Tot Lot program at a local gymnasium.
\n One of the playthings they had was a thick gym mat, cylendar
\n shaped and about 2 1\/2 feet high. There were soft stairs and
\n ramp up to it, but nothing from the inside to use to get out.
\n Lex spent most of the hour and a half playing on this thing. He
\n learned pretty quickly that he couldn’t get out of it, but he
\n liked climbing the stairs, crawling around the top of the
\n cylandar, dropping partway into the middle and pulling himself
\n out again, etc. Of course, right at the end he falls in — head
\n first. I was a little ways away chatting with a friend of mine
\n (slacker mom, right??) I saw him go down and ran over. There
\n were several other mothers right there with their hands on
\n their kids at all times. They gave me such a “looser mom” look.
\n One lady commented to the other about how the poor baby was
\n going to have such a
\n huge<\/strong><\/em> mark on
\n his head. I felt like saying, “Yeah, it will complement the
\n black eye nicely!” Instead I took him back to the bench where
\n he cried for about a minute over the pain and then cried for
\n several more minutes over the fact that his teething biscuit
\n was all dirty and I wouldn’t give it back to him. Once I got
\n another biscuit out of my backpack, he jumped off my lap and
\n ran right back to the toy. Crazy boy! I decided it was time to
\n go home and get lunch instead :) <\/p>\n

Luckily he has no marks from the ear or gym floor… just
\n the black eye. I have a prenatal appointment on Monday and it
\n wouldn’t look good to show up with a black and blue
\n toddler!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
