Well today actually felt like spring. We live in a wintery climate, so although it's technically spring, we haven't really felt it yet. But today was sunny and warm so we went out a bit. Walking around downtown, I let Monkey walk around a bit. Since she learned to walk during the winter, she hasn't really been able to walk outdoors at all. I think she rather likes it. She would throw a fit when I picked her up.
Of course, all it took was one oopsy. We were out walking, looking at some huge construction right next to our apartment. She was up on a sidewalk, and it it a really small step up from the parking lot. She walked off the sidewalk onto the parking lot, not slowing down and the momentum took her straight down. *crash* The poor sweety hit her face right on the parking lot. Some older gentlemen was jogging by in those horrid jogging shorts and no shirt and you could tell he felt sorry for her. Needless to say, that ended the outing. I wanted to get her indoors asap so I could see where exactly the bleeding was coming from and how bad. Luckily, she was just fine. I knew once I calmed her down enough to suck on the pacifier that was in her mouth for the whole ordeal, it would help stop the bleeding. So, yay, for surviving her first crash and bleed.
It was a day of outings, sidewalk chalk, bubbles, and enjoying the sun. Ahh, the sun. It almost feels criminal to keep kids indoors when it's that nice out. At least when your winters last as long as ours do. It's supposed to stay this way for the weekend. This Saturday is Monkey's first birthday, so here's to hoping it's a beautiful day!
