That's a "first baby" thing.
Once you have your second or third child, you start to laugh at the things you used to worry about with your first baby.
Joshua fell over and bumped his face on the stereo cabinet. You could tell right away that there was going to be quite a bruise. Cheryl asked, "Should I put ice on it?" I laughed and said, "No, that's only a first baby thing." I remember whenever our first born, Andrew, would fall and bump his head, we couldn't get ice on it fast enough. I mean, we would rush to the freezer, frantically fill a baggy with ice, and them cuddle him for twenty minutes while we held the ice to his head. I don't know if he screamed more from the cold or from the bump. Now with Joshua, it's like, "Oh big deal, so he bumped his head. A little bruise never hurt anybody." That first bruise.
It's impossible to go out in public with your bruised baby without everybody asking about it.
"Oh, is he alright?" "Oh dear, what happened?" One person even asked, "Wow, did he fall down the stairs or something?" Cheryl really loved that one. She wanted to answer, "No, that was LAST week. This week I just dropped him on his face." So whenever we get a comment like this, Cheryl turns to me and glares, "See, I told you we should have put ice on it." The toy corner.
We have all Joshua's toys tucked neatly away into a corner of our living room. That way he can play where we can keep an eye on him.
Actually, "neatly tucked away" probably isn't the right word. How about, "strewn (is that a word?) all across the living room floor". It was a good idea when it started. That first day we created his "toy corner" it looked so orderly and inviting, and didn't take over the room. Now it's an obstacle course.  Did you miss one of our previous diary entries?
