Yesterday at the park Kelly was chasing a ball (surprise) when she missed the visual cues relating to fencing wire and tried to grate herself. Ouch! So we have a cut tongue, lip and we are missing a bit of a tooth (again). You have to wonder at what point she will have at least a working knowledge of situational awareness?  She's fine (sort of), but my do we not need these heart in the mouth moments at our age. Look out soon for a photo of Kelly completely covered in tape and bubble wrap ready for her daily constitutional.

Yikes! A well deserved lie down and a cool cloth on the forehead must surely be in order.
