Accidents

You know Gladys just had a fall not too long ago because Papa was glued to the TV screen right. At first, I thought she just had a small little bruise on her forehead but days after that fall, I realised that the impact was on her shoulder instead when the big bruise appeared.

My poor baby.

Since then, we have been 'training' her at the edge of beds and sofas that it's very dangerous to crawl out of the 'boundary'.

One fine day, Papa was so proud of himself and he claims that he has successfully 'trained' Gladys not to crawl beyond the boundary. I thought so and believed him.

So I stood there and watched while he 'demostrates'. He told Gladys to stop and that it was dangerous to go on.

Gladys hesitated and paused.

Yipee!

But before we can react, Gladys continued to crawl and fell flat on her cheek. My goodness!

Argh, I can't believe I actually believed what men said. I shouldn't.

I picked up my crying baby and also whatever I could lay my hands on and started throwing at him. *sob*

I was shattered. It was all my fault. I let it happen.

Then another day, we were having claypot rice and when it was served, Gladys was so excited and though still in the child seat, jumped forward and reached for the piping hot claypot.

You can imagine what happened next.

She cried hysterically!

Arghhh..

I screened her hand for burns and it seems that there was no major injury but I let her hold on to an ice cup nevertheless. Then, I attempted to pacify her with her favourite biscuit.

It didn't work.

So Papa fed her with some claypot rice and it does the trick.

Babies can be so easily cheated with food lor!

And just the other day when I met up with some mummies and babies at IMM's Secret Receipe for coffee, Gladys reached out for my plate and it landed on the floor with a loud crack.

I was shocked! Luckily she was injured in this case. Luckily I didn't have to pay for the damages. And luckily I had finished the Chocolate Banana cake. :p

My goodness, I must always be on my guards at all times now that she's so mobile, and fast!

Me and my cheeky baby.
