Since last noted, Sydney has had quite a few incident reports. While the first was a novelty, we quickly lost count. Meghan told me that one of the the teachers told her that Sydney is the only child who has ever had 2 in one day. That's our little over achiever.

I'm starting to wonder how many the average 16 month old child gets in a week (or month). Is our Beastie normal or just a total clutz.

Anyway, this week we got yet another. It seems a certain clumsy Beastie wiped out while pushing a toy across the room. She fell and hit her head. Now she has a small bruise on top of the lump that is left over from the night when she fell out of the booth at Leonas (restaurant) several weeks back. You would think she could at least pick a different spot.

Meghan found a stack of forms. Allow me to summarize.

They told Meghan that she almost cried but that she was strong and was a trooper.

Almost went 4 for 4 this week.

Shortly before Meghan picked up Sydney, another child kicked Sydney in the head. I'm not aware of the circumstances surrounding this but I have a feeling it involved 2 clumsy toddlers playing on the floor in close proximity. The teacher asked Meghan if she wanted it written up as an incident and Meghan declined.
