The girls are at that age where they are climbing and exploring the entire house and starting to want to do things themselves. Sunday morning at 6:00 AM I hear Brant on the baby monitor trying to encourage Cate and Claire to get out of their cribs. Knowing that they are perfectly capable of trying this I hurry upstairs to the nursery (half asleep, no contacts) and assist them so nobody will get hurt. I am carrying the girls downstairs and the whole time Cate is telling me, "Walk, Walk, Walk". She wants to go down by herself, but it's totally dark and I just want to get them downstairs. Well, as soon as we reach the bottom and I set them down she immediately turns around and starts back up the stairs. She IS going to walk down by herself. She gets about 3-4 steps up and turns around to walk down and falls. She ended up getting a goose egg on her forehead and a small cut and black eye. The worst part is as soon as the bruising starts to go away she slipped on the playground and got another bruise on the same eye. She's pretty much had a shiner the whole month of January.
