Ever since our little one became mobile at 5 1/2 months, she's been conducting impromptu safety inspections throughout the house. This mostly involves banging her poor little head on the nearest door or wall. On Wednesday afternoon her careful analysis led her to conclude that the EDGE of the hall bathroom door will IMMEDIATELY put a large purple welt on a baby's head and give her mom a small heart attack in the process.
The ensuing conversation with the doctor's office went something like this:
ME - I'm pretty sure everything's fine, but just wanted to contact you about my six month old before closing hours. You know how babies reach the stage where they are mobile, but don't have any common sense.
NURSE - Uh huh? I guess she's rolling around lots.
ME - No. She's crawling and can stand up.
NURSE - Oh, I guess that makes your life interesting.
And that's exactly why I had to call her in the first place.
