On Sunday, Sean had a minor boo boo and wanted mommy time to feel better so he was on my lap..Rhea was playing closeby and then I saw her walking off. Next few minutes were so quiet i started getting suspicious of her whereabouts. So I put Sean down and started looking for her and where do you think i found her...She ws in the powder room playing in the toilet water..she managed to pull some of the the tissue paper into the water. There was an empty tissue roller and she had that in the toilet. My first reaction was utter horror because it was so easy for her to fall head first into the toilet...Thank God for averting such a huge tragedy.Of course she was completely oblivious to my reaction and seemed to have the best time in the world.We have been pretty good at closing the bathrom door after use but we have to make sure Sean does it too because she seems to be enthralled by water and is soo excited about her new found love..
Rhea is transitioned into mostly walking now...this week i hardly saw her crawl..This is a good thing but it has also widely opened the doors for her getting hurt during her various adventures...yesterday i was clearing the table after dinner and all of a sudden i hear a big bang and she is on the floor screaming..i knew she had hit her face on the chair when she lost her balance...the RESULT..a big blue patch on her left cheek under the eye...Ouchie Ouch..poor baby...i iced the spot but today it was still a lil blue.When I went to pick her up from daycare, Ms Noori asked about her bruise. She wanted to make sure that i knew that the the bruise was not from day care..I assured her that it was from home..
Today evening..after we got home..I went upstairsto change my clothes. Both Sean and Rhea were near the toy box in the family room and i was certain it was pretty well 'Rhea Proofed'..Oh Boy was I wrong...I went up and no later than 2 minutes i hear them screaming and my first thought was that they were fighting for the same toy and I was beginning to tell sean to give in when he said 'Baby is putting the pen in her mouth'. I noticed that she had one of the markers in her hand wouldn't let go..sean being the big brother was trying to get it out of her hands. She had her grip so tight on it even distracting her with another toy was not working. i finally went down and took it from her and to my utter amazement she is green all over. She looked like she had just walked out of St Patty's parade. She had managed even to chew on it so her mouth was green. I immediately took her and scrubbed her down..even her tongue..its surprising she didnt throw up but i didnt care...she was just recovering from diarreha and i didnt want this to add to it...
I'm sure going forward everyday will be filled with fun, amazing, funny and hopefully not too horrifying experiences...
