I didn’t realize that today was a holiday, so I was really surprised when Dad came to get me out of my crib. After I changed, we went downstairs to play. Since we were trying to be extra quiet so as not to wake Mom up, we went down to the office and listened to an Elmo song. I was sitting at Mom’s desk when Elmo came on. I got so excited that I started flailing my arms and my head until – WHACK! – I slammed my head right into the edge of the desk!
Oh man, that hurt really bad. I cried instantly. Dad held me and kissed me a million times but it didn’t help (much). He took me upstairs and got an ice pack and then had to restrain me while he applied it to my head. Needless to say, Mom didn’t stay asleep for long! She came downstairs and was really worried about me. She held me while Dad held the ice pack. I look good in purple, no?
I barely got through breakfast and I was in some pain for the rest of the morning, but mostly I was back to normal pretty quickly. Mom and Dad spent the day moving their stuff back into the room after getting it painted (yes, they chose that color green!). We played hide and seek and I helped clean off a few shelves. Finally Mom and I took naps after lunch and Dad went to the grocery store (I skipped this week’s trip due to my injury!).
The rest of the day was pretty uneventful. We all had dinner together and then it was bed time!
A year ago I was spitting up like crazy.
